Dead right! So many tournos are won by teams who ponderously keep the ball, defend resolutely and have a couple of players who can score from anything.

Italy used to make it their trademark 

Would usually agree but these two teams are so dysfunctional offensively, it’s hard to see them scoring equal or more goals than Spain

I have had more fun watching a puddle evaporate than this game....

I do think this is Southgate's aim as well.

Ferdy is OK. Jenas has nothing worthwhile to bring

And Danny Murphy on comms I don’t mind Ferdinand though 

Ferdinand is partly the reason we’ve so much Ronaldo nonsense on the coverage 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Just watching the game with my two year old, he's turned to me and asked "daddy, why are two nations so stacked with offensive talent and resource turning out this rubbish?" I don't know what to tell him

[Nalis]

I do enjoy the chants in continental Europe that seem to go on forever

It’s the partly due to lack of sleep from last night, but this is actually getting painful now.

He should stick to the one show

I definitely agree.

 

If it helps to lead us to glory, then definitely so be it to be honest.

That lovely France kit doesn't deserve this

If he’s using those terms at two years old, get him on the list for Cambridge now!

I'd rather have Murphy than Dion Dublin

I hope you told him it was as bad as this when Labour were last in power 

[coolhandfox]

So much talent in the France squad but they play with the hand break on.

The only pundit ( and I use that term very loosely) worth listening to over these Euros was Cesc Fabregas …..

No sleeping tablet needed after this game 👍

And the whole creche applauded

The finishing in this game has been reminiscent of peak Akinbiyi

I enjoyed Mendieta on ITV. Pity he's ditched the floppy David Guetta esque barnet

It’s a horrible watch. I want England to beat the Swiss but I’m not looking forward to watching ‘a good game of football’ with any excitement

Can you opt to call a friend?

 

I'm sure Garreth can answer this question.

The "I'm the one" show.

Slovenia were hilarious the other night played for penalties for 120 minutes then proceeded to look like they had never taken a penalty before
