That was for Sweden. But we've made it 2-2 now.

I hate watching England.

I thought it was rugby where you had to kick the ball over the bar..

 

[Mephistopheles]

Are England through now or what?

 

[FB]

No, need a point against Ukraine

I asked this on chat but nobody is on there so I'll ask it here.

I'm not very good on football so can someone tell me why England are playing in those colours and not the white they usually play in after all the other coadjute are wearing a rather smart yellow...

I think that's one of official colours England play in and since white is close to yellow, they had to use the away kit. I think they have played in yellow in the past but I cold be wrong.

BTW: well done England, one step ahead

Every international team has a 'home' and 'away' kit, just so the colours don't clash on the TV. England's traditional away kit - as we were classed as the away team - is red, but for some ludicrous reason, Umbro (who make England's kit) decided that it should be blue. For reference, our 'home' kit is white. We usually only have to wear the away kit if the home teams' home kit clashes with our home kit - basically if Sweden played in green, we would have played in white.

mjo I'm colour blind and even I can distinguish between yellow and white, I thought Millwall were playing for a moment there...

 

[Jos the Boss]

The colour of the away kit should be the second colour on the flag I think

England, England, England.

Now lets go and beat those Ukrainian's and hope Sweden beat France!

 

[Incubus]

Of course it were Arsenal what saved the day.

 

[Jos the Boss]

I think you'll find Man United scored the winner!

 

[Incubus]

With more han a little help from Arsenal... OK I'll stop now. Let's not go there.
I'm right though

Have you gone mad or have I?

 

[Jos the Boss]

This group is fantastic! Portugal are doing well as are the other 3, who's going to make it?!

 

[mjo]

Sausages and tulips.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Which ones tulips?

 

[gethinceri]

And you're wearing your knotted hanky Emjoe?

 

[Mephistopheles]

Surely it is better if England go though at the top of their group or doesn't it work like that I mean is their next fixture harder now than it would have been.

Bear with me I'm thick as far as football goes...
