Is there more skill and class on England? I'd have to say so.
Did I miss Slovak domination of the Russians?

Easily, no question about that in my mind.
This is the thing that gets me about England, they typically blow smoke up their own asses about the quality of their team when in reality it usually isnt very good.
This tournament though I think they've got a very good team, but its jut poorly set up and mismanaged. They've got excellent players.
Slovakia are almost the opposite, they dont have the same amount of talent or class, but they're getting results.

Germany are going to get hurt on the counter at some point this tournament, that is their biggest weakness, the fullbacks arent very good and Hummels is looking slow. Boateng was unreal today breaking up plays

Agreed on Poland, I thought their defence would be their undoing but it seems they've gotten on the same page, their defence today was excellent.
However, their plan has flaws. At the moment it seems as though they're going for the stalwart defence and banking on Lewandowski and Milik to get them goals. Thats well and good but as we saw today Milik is fallible and Lewandowski has 0 shots on goal over 2 games.
