How are people managing to get flares and fire crackers into the stadiums?

Shocking.

Exactly, If they can smuggle them in, what else can be taken in under the radar?

I couldn't believe my eyes when that banger went off in that guys face, initially it looked a lot worse, I had to rewind and have another look.
Could have been much worse.

That was shocking viewing. Would have made a right mess of his head!

WTH is going on in this 'tournament,' FFS. It's like football's equivalent to 'Deathrace 2000'.

Not impressed with England so far, and the Italians were cynical, professional and BORING, yet will have the pundits drooling again.

As for France, they play some good stuff, someone is going to get hammered. They remind me of the team Deschamps captained....play until the final whistle.

I wouldn't go to hard on them, Belgium are a very good side and ranked 9th in UEFA's rankings and 2nd in FIFA's rankings.

We we're just lucky to get a group with a team ranked 3 places up from San Marino......Wales!

Ireland's only chance of getting out the group was beating Sweden.

Now there is no chance but the group was very difficult.

Facts are they are a group of pretty average players but at least they tried.

6 changes ffs. I think it's a bad move bringing in Henderson and the 2 full backs

Germany/Spain/France will be looking at our performances and laughing seeing how bad we are and that we are ever considered a challenge to them in the tournament. We are utterly devoid of any creativity

And matey at right back is pretty good...

No creativity in the midfield! Henderson can't beat the first man with a deadball and just plays sideways in open play and JW is running round like a headless chicken also offering nothing.

Oh and..............Someone explain why he made so many changes? It's all about momentum!

I really really really really hope Hodgson gets the sack or leaves when the euros have finished!

The first decent team we come against we are out after that. Yes they defended heavily/parked the bus but then you need creativity to beat that and the chances we had the finishing needed to have been far better. Lets hope we now get Hungary and not Portugal.

The game was screaming out for a forward thinking midfielder like Barkley. Hendersons first thought when he receives the ball is passing it backwards or sideways...

I don't think Barkley is the answer unfortunately. Sadly we desperately lack someone with the flair of a Gazza to make something out of nothing, the dead ball quality of a Beckham and the finishing of a Shearer. I'd settle for just one of those 3 right now.

So many points to agree on

Yes stick with the starting XI and lets keep the momentum going

Henderson was awful, he is not international class and along with the non match fit Jack the lad they gave the ball away far too much.

All said and done it's the players on the pitch that couldn't score and ultimately left us in the **** although Roy's decision making 6 changes was odd to say the least.

We have the look of a team that could progress and get better as the tournament goes along just don't make wholesale changes. Kane still looked shattered after two seasons of playing on his own for Spurs. Sterling, Henderson should be nowhere near this team.

We've seen Woy's two teams it's time to take the best XI from now on

I'd go as follows

Hart
Walker or Clyne Smalling Cahill Bertrand
Dier Alli Rooney Lallana
Vardy Sturridge

And Croatia beating Spain has left one side of the draw full of the main players. Spain vs Italy in the last 16 is a corker so early on.
