Has wilshere done any cross field passes? We’re bitterly disappointed. Somethig about the other team not playing and parking 11 men behind the ball. We’re tired, no energy, the heat and occasion got to us, long season etc blah blah blah
Isnt one of iceland players a dentist..maybe we should have a referendum on who should stay in the team.
And p45 for woy in the morning
Because that’s what England managers do. They picks names first, formations second. They then try and cram the names into the chosen formation. Other, teams, rightfully, choose the best player for each position of a chosen formation.
Hence why Scholes was always out left so that the monumental egos of Lampard and Gerrard could be accommodated in the middle.
I’m shocked that people are surprised at engerlands mediocre performance. I mean what did you expect? No world class players, inability to either follow a game plan or think for themselves (let’s face it they are mostly a bit thick)
Wouldn’t stand a chance against a top team like Germany/France/Italy.
If they miraculously scramble through this then it’s just delaying the inevitable of being outplayed and out thought. Running around like a headless chicken means you eventually hit a brick wall
If England grab a spawny goal equaliser all will be forgiven I’m sure.
Roy doesn’t really have a clue does he…probably better if they did go out and get someone in who knows what he’s doing. How can Iceland be beating them when clearly your players are so much better on paper?
@bongo, yes, i’ll grant you that pulling on an England shirt seems to instantly diminish any skill they may have had to begin with.
Don’t particularly blame Roy, he doesn’t really have a quality squad to work with. England should have won 2002 world cup, but team has been on a gradual downward spiral since then. Might be decades before a squad with potential to win tournaments comes around again.
Papers are going to have a field day with the br*xit metaphors tomorrow, ..a daft little country that thinks it’s bigger and better than it actually is. Utterly clueless and hopeless, I’m embarrassed for yous.
As England once again skulk off home early after another utterly rubbish performance
…this is why I don’t really care about England FC. They’ve let me down enough in the past to the point I can’t be bothered putting in any emotional investment.

Pretty much. I used to go to the pub with mates to watch the england games even though I’m generally not a football fan. None of us bother any more. I don’t know why anyone would be surprised at this result.
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that they want a decent break for their summer hols before returning to training(work) so rather that go out in the group stages, go out in a plucky battle a stage or two later and then get that nice summer break. You only have to look at the number of silly yellow/red cards that come out in the run up to Xmas resulting in a three game ban over the Christmas break to realise it goes on.
