Are you talking about a Turkish tackle from the first half?


No I am talking about Delle Alli's tackle to Cenk Tosun which resulted as a simple foul without any cards.

If you pay attention, i said always. not often. literally they foul on every single header ball.


Are Turkish players women? :lol:


No English players were clearly fouling.

The team defence was poor. The midfield didn't help out the central defenders and Rose was out of position a lot.

Kane had a good first half but not so good second. He is also too selfish.

Alli had a good first half but no so good second.

Wilshere did nothing to be selected.

Sterling had a poor first half and a couple of good runs in the second but he isn't a good enough attacker to make the squad and he is a liability on the defensive side.

Vardy was hardly in the first half but was great after moving up front and Drinky being introduced. Winning a penalty, scoring a goal and should have got an assist when Kane slipped at the end.

Walker was my motm.

England looked a good attacking team in the last 15 mins.

Turkey were a decent team but not quick enough defensively or clinical enough in attack. I haven't seen much of them but I'm surprised they made the finals on that performance.


I was very surprised that England finished as a leader of its group. Other teams must have sucked badly. The team is mediocre. They won today but we could have easily won.

I can't imagine England playing against top teams. Another Germany-Brazil might happen. which wouldn't surprise me since they are the biggest losers in national teams.

Turkey is playing good. I feel we can go as much as we did in euro 08 if we don't get robbed like we did today.

You've lost now.

Fair result. England were clearly the better team. :D


Yes we lost. We lost against 16 players. Offside goal then no corner was converted a goal.

Our goal was great and hard earned.


:lol:

Football supporters. We're great!

Alli can be a dick on the pitch, but I saw at least two worse tackles by Turkish players in the first half. Didn't You?

I did but none of them intentional and deserved a red card. On the other hand, Delle Alli's was clear red.

That was my argument in the first half when you called English players women.

I agree with you Turkish players need to "man up". :wink:

It was the same against Germany as well. Ref whistled every single of them as a foul against England.

Today's English player, ups sorry I meant ref, did a good job.

England are an average/above average team but we did win our group and go unbeaten - we were better than every team in our group. If I heard right then Turkey came 3rd in a group. That really doesn't deserve qualification. Are you suggesting that the refs all combined against you to stop you winning or even coming second in your group. I would suggest Turkey are average/below average.

You ought to consider becoming a top level professional referee.

We went unbeaten whole 2015 as well. What's the point?

If you think UEFA will care whom you think is deserved qualification, send them an email. They might think oh this is HIF great guy, let's kick Turkey out of this. I can tell you your chance is minimal though.

I am suggesting that your team is no good. They will lose just like they have been losing many years. As a Leicester fan and English person, I am sure you are used to losing anyway.

:D You're right I'm used to losing.

I'm suggesting that we are average but still better than Turkey.

Being Turkish I presume you are used to winning. :wink:

Who said it is meaningless? Winner goes straight to the CL groups.That means 25-30 million euro income. Which is probably way more than your meaningless club have ever seen in their bank account.
