England qualify

being from England and the crap team they have
at the euros i didnt seem them getting out the
qualifying group, i was wrong.
next up ITALY and a semi final with the old firm
enemy Germany . come on England

I thought England played well, wouldn't call them crap. They won the group and showed a lot of skill in all 3 games. Italy next and feel confident they'll win it.

England doesn't have a crap team. If you look at some of the skill of our players then you will see that we do have some gifted players. We are just poorly managed and don't work amazing as a team.

We didn't play amazing in the group stages, except for against Sweden. That was a fantastic game.

But still: Woop woop, go England

England surely didn't deserve to win. Ukraine had a valid goal disallowed and a clear penalty not given. They were also so lucky against Sweden scoring the 3th. All my money is on Italy. The only good player was Gerard although he should've gotten a 2nd yellow for a nasty foul.

The goal was offside and not sure what penalty you wanted. Either way England won and that's all that matters.

I think this time the time has come for Germany to win
Allthought I like the play of Spain much, much more.

Next games will be exciting, the best team should win!

Glad we avoided Spain. I will take a scrappy win any day. Italy is a tough side, not sure how we will do to be honest.

Completely agree. The Ukrainian was offside when the ball was played, so when the ball crossed over the line it was invalid anyway. Two things missed by the ref, and so equalled each other out.

So happy we play Italy and not Spain.

atleast they played the younger team this time. Good to see JT still breaking his back for engylanddddd
