A bit of an anti climax after Tuesday's win. England made it simple,but it wasn't enjoyable. I was looking forward to a battle and maybe penalties.😬

there’s no pleasing some people. 4-0 and they haven’t conceded a goal in 5 games, what else do you want?

Thanks. Having just switched over from the football to watch a repeat of Taggart, and logged in here, I was just about to google a new avatar!
PS.... Please remember, it's not anti English; it's pro Danish. We had Danish neighbours back in the 70's, who were very nice people. I'm doing it for them!
My oh my granddad, what a polyglot patchwork of neighbours you've had.

In this case, it is actually true! We lived in Jamaica 1968 to 76, and had loads of international neighbours. Danish, German, American, Canadian, Colombian, Surinamese, to name a few. The Danish guy was there working for Kosan Gas, a Danish company. I'm sure I'll be able to unearth some Spanish or Italian ex neighbours too, if this goes on any longer.

It's not all about winning. Football is supposed to be about entertainment. Some watch it for the result,regardless of how it's achieved. Some watch it to see a gladiatorial style battle. Obviously I'm pleased with the result, but you don't get the same 'let's go f..k..g mental' feeling with a 4-0 win as you do with a winning penalty in a shoot out.

The first goal was no surprise. Ukraine couldn't get the ball and gave it away twice in their own half inside the first two minutes. When the goal went in there was no way back as they really are a dreadful team. Watched a film instead.

Maybe I should withdraw this post. Ukraine may have had more of a threat if Shevchenko was playing.

I`m a big footy fan but to be honest, after all the extended league matches, cup competitions and now the Euros I`m kind of wishing it was all over?!
Great result for England and hopefully they can win the whole thing......at least then we won`t have to listen to all the whining about not winning anything for a Zillion years and that most hateful of phrases, "footballs coming home" or "Sweet Caroline"
ps. Sweet Caroline is a great song but kind of ruined by using it as some kind of anthem!

Watched the opening 10-15 mins I think , I could see this was going to be easy. Next game is the toughie. Denmark no easy pushovers and very very motivated. Have to say though Engerland have had the luck of the draw again. The other half has seen some really good sides play each other, some favourites. However my money is still on Italy to win the whole thing.
As one of my friends used to say..

It's a competition, of course it's about winning!

Well played England (as a cycling and rugby fan, still can't get my head round the booing of the other team's National anthem though, hey ho). Do like the banter though....got to admit that when I watch the Six Nations, the one match that's always difficult for me to watch, is France v Scotland as I want both sides to be hammered (same for the equivalent football match).Thanks.

Excellent game. No Ukraine weren't really in it but England are performing solidly on almost every part of the pitch, maybe that's why.
I said in an earlier post I'd like to see them scoring more, but agree the is a play pattern, holding, passing, build up and hit hard when (and if) the opportunity arises, it's certainly working for them.
One of the best, most solid performances I've ever seen England put on...and I've seen some sh1te from them.
