Last 16: England v Iceland 27th June, 8pm

[JimJams]

I don't get the praise? He's not done the honourable thing. He even said it in his conference, his contract was up after the Euros. We're out of it. His contract is done. It's not like he's got years left and he's stepping aside. He's fucking finished because we're out. He's not made a choice.

Non of the players or their captain got the bottle to face the cameras ???
Fucking spineless cowardly fucks

 

[Bilo]

Louis van Gaal should be all over this job.

"The worst defeat in our history. England beaten by a country with more volcanoes than professional footballers. Well played Iceland."
- Gary Lineker on Twitter

(This is their national stadium, by the way... No, I'm kidding.)

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Utterly utterly embarrassing, humiliating. We deserve all the shit we're going to get.

Well done Iceland, remarkable story.

 

[DarkSithLord]

And ran down blind alleys. Let's not fucking deify him. It was all shite.

No player completed more take-ons vs. #ISL tonight than Marcus Rashford (3). He came on in the 86th minute...

 

[Pagnell]

Already been said but the useless fucker should have been binned after the last World Cup. Onwards and upward. Hopefully. But who the fuck do we now get in. No one English that I can think of.

 

[The Unbeliever]

And so it begins again. Another manager, same shite. Doesn't matter who it is in charge, it'll be the same thing. There is something deeper wrong with England than just who the manager is.

Seriously. It will not make a not of fucking difference. Qualify for 2018 against the no hopers and then go out.

Wrong if Conte can create a team with the talent he has available then we can. They have been running around like a bunch of headless chickens for the past 7 games. Changing formation and starting 11 wildly nilly, that's down to a shit manger whose idea of tactics is to throw 11 players on the pitch and leave it up to them. We have good enough players.

 

[Master D]

Iceland didn't even play that well, seen them better than that in the previous matches. That match was a "where were you?" moment, it will be talked about for fucking decades. Tragic.

 

[Murphy]

That game utterly smacked of his quote about 'systems not being important'. Pretty clearly if you're going to persist with Sturridge on the right hand side in the 2nd half when he will not use his left foot. Must be blind not to see Rashford was needed with about 20 minutes to go at the very least. Just clueless, a competent manager surely would have got more out of that team, and at the very least set them up in an effective way.

That being said, all bar Vardy, Rashford and MAYBE Smalling were a disgrace tonight. Don't think I've seen a worse England performance, absolutely spineless and embarrassing. Manager shoulders a lot of the blame but those players better take a look at themselves.

Bunch of gobshites, the lot of them.

 

[Reaper]

Gareth Southgate early favourite for England job ffs, im done watching them if its him.

 

[Saddlerrad]

That, was genuinely the most spineless, bottle-lacking performance that I have ever seen from a professional football outfit, in a game where they were cast iron, absolute, favourites.

It's the same old shit with England, even if we had won tonight we were walking into a spanking by France.

I cannot get excited by these tournaments, I cannot get excited by meaningless fucking friendlies that ruin and interrupt the domestic season against the likes of Armenia, Lichstenstein etc. They benefit nobody, hinder players and they lead to relaxed, diabolical performances in big tournaments like tonight.

Make no mistake tonight, that is England's worst result in my lifetime in a competitive tournament.

 

[The Unbeliever]

No player completed more take-ons vs. #ISL tonight than Marcus Rashford (3). He came on in the 86th minute...

Getting passed players has fuck all to do with anything. It's getting quick ball into or behind their back four to England players making themselves available in the box. None of that all, Kane and Sturidge were anywhere but centrally in the box.

 

[The One]

Disgraceful

That should be the end of Rooney's international career

 

[Pagnell]

Bar Wenger (of which there is zero squared chance), that's a fucking sorry bunch.

You know summat's up when your Celtic friends don't have the heart to laugh at England.

 

[Blitzballer]

Sherwood for England

 

[sl1k]

Bloody told you lot about my yoot rashford. My calls were dismissed, turns out hes one of the only player with #passion for that shirt, and caused more problems down that flank in the few minutes he got than ive seen of anyone else this tournament.

FWIW - Gareth Bale of Wales, yes Wales is currently laughing at our country this evening. Fucking Wales. Glorified bottom half, below par Championship team.

 

[tinpot]

Hahahaha!
Lineker's opening line on MOTD.
"Surprised you've joined us, you must be a glutton for punishment."

How do you feel about the passion comment?

Now you've gone and done it!

My pre-tournament pessimism was more than justified then, though even I didn't expect to plummet out to a nation with less people living in it than the centre of Bristol.

Spineless, gutless, naive... the list goes on.

Stuck up for Hodgson before this tournament, but that was hilarious. The whole thing. Dare I say it again, but the 4-3-3 despite selecting one winger... yadda yadda yadda.

The fact it took him 86 fucking minutes to bring on a player who can actually beat a man took the piss as well - Sturridge isn't a winger, and for all Sterling's pace he doesn't half love a check back.

Hodgson sacked now, yawn. Expected. All the top managers are in employment, the FA will probably go down the same route and bring in someone equally unambitious, such as Pardew or Southgate. They may even go that one step further and appoint Gary icanovercomplicatesuchasimplegameonafiftyinchplasma Neville. Nothing would surprise me.

 

[Saddlerrad]

How do you feel about the passion comment?

Absolutely over the moon

 

[Nilsson]

Shouldn't single anyone out as everyone was at least below par, Rooney, Alli and Kane especially, but how Joe Hart let that 2nd goal in is beyond me. It really wouldn't surprise me if the reports about Guardiola not rating him are true.

It was so obviously not working so why not just give Rashford 25 odd minutes up front?

Getting knocked out by fucking Iceland, shameful.

 

[Pagnell]

Hart's days at City are numbered.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Um, I don't really know what to say. That was utterly abject. Rashford actually demonstrated more energy and endeavour in five minutes than most of the side managed in ninety. Genuinely dreadful.

Mega congrats to Iceland though. A fine performance and a deserved win.

 

[silkyman]

for all Sterling's pace he doesn't half love a check back.

He's on the wrong wing so has to check back. Which has benefits when they can cut in, but switch them around a bit occasionally!

Willy Hills has Neville as the front runner for the job.

Seriously.
