The second game? I hope Ibrahimovic's ankle explodes in fire.

Oxlade-Chamberlain starts.

No idea what the result will be, just hope that triumph and disaster - those twin imposters - are treated the same.

Ha ha - the Ukraine. Do you know what the Ukraine is? It's a sitting duck. A road apple, Newman. The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine.

Father-in-law is from England, so needless to say, I am solidly in the French corner today. Also, Laurent Blanc is one cool mother farker.

i don't care who wins but for sheer Fail Factor alone, it would be nice to see France get ragdolled and be 3 and done, 0 points and not advance, just like they did in WC 2010. i mean, England didn't set the world on fire in 2010 eitehr but at least they advanced.

UEFA's site has England's formation as 4-4-1-1 with Young behind Welbeck.

Might be a front three. Or Oxlade-Chamberlain on the right-MF and given an attacking role.

I don't like it when players don't sing along with their national anthem. France, you suck, and will lose 2-1.

somebody i think saturday had what i called a "1-2-2-1-2-1" or some shiat. it was basically a 2-4-4 but by the on-screen diagram it moreso resembled 1-1-2-1-1-2-1 or some kind of bs like that.

/i thought it was funny

Everyone seems to know the score,
They've seen it all before,
They just know,
They're so sure,
That England's Gonna throw it away,
Gonna blow it away,
But know they can play,
'Cause I remember...
Three Lions on a shirt,
Jules Rimet still gleaming,
Thirty years of hurt,
Never stopped me dreaming.
So many jokes, so many sneers,
But all those oh-so-nears,
Wear you down,
Through the years,
But I still see that tackle by Moore,
And when Linekar scored,
Bobby belting the ball,
And Nobby Dancing...

he got hair plugs but his body rejected them and now he's injured. It's called GVH and it's devastating.

He's not the player he once was, that's obvious. But he's still the captain and that means something.
