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

[Captain Scumbag]

Certain games are best viewed not as sporting contests but as unintentional comedy. This was one of them.

Well done, Iceland.

 

[silkyman]

Hart's days at City are numbered.

You really have a problem with him don't you?

 

[Bartonyellow]

Do me a favour and get rid of your stupid avatar.
I've just watched 11 c*** on the pitch. Don't need to see your Jimmy krankie look-a-like

 

[silkyman]

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.

#ManLikeRashford
#ToldYouSo

He had one good run then ran down a few blind alleys.

 

[Pagnell]

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.

Neville has left the FA so it won't be him.

 

[Pagnell]

You really have a problem with him don't you?

As England keeper, yes. He's shit in an international shirt. As City keeper, no. They need far better if they want to get where they want so hopefully they keep him as long as possible. As a person, I don't give a fuck, I don't know him.

Hope this helps.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Saves the ignamy of losing to the French I Suppose.
Can't quite believe we are looking at Southgate as our saviour for fucks sake.
Is that what we have come to?

 

[Pagnell]

If they give it to Southgate I'm done with England.

 

[Bartonyellow]

there are no candidates for the job. So bang your cv in lads

 

[Stevencc]

If they give it to Southgate I'm done with England.

You really have a problem with him, don't you?

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

I wouldn't care if I never saw Sturridge in an England shirt again. Didn't even look like he gave a shit.

The rest were also shit but he pissed me off the most.

Kane probably the most disappointing player at the tournament.

Oh, well done Iceland. Deserved it and I hope they go all the way.

 

[Pagnell]

You really have a problem with him, don't you?

It's the teeth.

 

[snortingfrogs]

Rumors going around twitter that Zola is going to be the next manager.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Where do you even start with that, don't want to take too much credit away from Iceland who did what they were excellent at for 90 minutes, very well organised and brave, but that was absolutely pathetic from England. Started off well with the penalty but as soon as they got that instant equaliser from us switching off from a set piece, I knew it was going to be a long night. As it got further into the game our players seemed frightened to get on the ball and make things happen, even the simplest 5 yard pass was being made to look like rocket science, embarrassing. Again we dominate the game possession wise, but we could have played till next week and we still wouldn't have carved out a clear cut chance, absolutely no cutting edge or substance to us not just tonight but all tournament.

Onto the next point which is Roy, he has absolutely done the right thing in resigning immediately after the game, although he obviously wasn't getting a new contract. His squad selection for this tournament would have been absolutely fine had he played a diamond formation, but why in fuckery would you choose 1 out and out winger in the squad.being an out of form Sterling at that, and deciding to play with wingers? Jack Wilshere's inclusion over Danny Drinkwater was also absolutely ridiculous. On top of that he saw clearly in the first game against Russia that it didn't work, Kane taking set pieces also didn't work, he addressed this in the next game which after 45 minutes got it right, however it didn't work against Slovakia, so what does he do? Reverts back to the same idea, and personnel that didn't work out in the first game. It's been an absolute joke of a tournament for us, skimping through a piss poor group and being embarrassed by Iceland, this is far worse than 2014. We do however have a very promising young group of players which you'd like to think will benefit from this experience, the next manager must however stick to a style of play and a system and choose the right players for it, not based on a player's club or reputation. We need to build our own style of play and stop trying to copy every other successful nations methods, as it's clearly not working. It definitely runs deeper than just the manager, but the next appointment is so important.

[Pagnell]

Hodgson was never likely to stay on beyond this tournament bar us winning it, so the FA likely already know who will be taking the job on.

 

[Laker]

Total embarrassment, worst night in English football history. Rashford aside, not one of the players who played tonight should play for England again. Yes I'm serious.

Hahahahha! You fucking dicks!]

And the biggest whoosh ever is handed to you. Check my posts in league 2 last season, I said practically the same thing before every Cambridge game.

Whooooooosh!

 

[Jockney]

Some of our brightest talents in a decade forever tarnished with the negativity and failure of a manager who I backed unconditionally, for my sins.

Howe, please. Anyone positive, please. As bad as they have been this tournament, Kane, Alli, Sterling, et al, deserve more.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Also why did it take until the 85th minute to throw Rashford on? We're chasing a goal with a positive, fearless young striker sat on the bench, bloody ridiculous game management.

 

[Jockney]

Total embarrassment, worst night in English football history. Rashford aside, not one of the players who played tonight should play for England again. Yes I'm serious.

It's England fans like you who are part of the problem.

 

[Laker]

It's England fans like you who are part of the problem.

Oh do one will you, I'm in hardly a rational state of mind. At least let me have my moment of nobheadness and I'll be back with it tomorrow.

FFS Roy

Of those available, I'd take Howe (whether he'd take the job is another matter).

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Genuinely think he'd turn it down.

 

[Big Bird]

Never seen us exit a tournament in that manner. Not even being able to pass the football 10 yards, and hiding, hoping somebody else does something. Fuck right off. Are you kidding me?

No leadership on or off the pitch, a manager who had 9 months to prepare a formula to send us into this tournament with the best possible chance of succeeding, and all he could conjour up was a system not befitting the players he selected, with absolutely zero idea on what he should do if plan A isn't working other than throw on all your attacking talent and hope for the best. He got away with it against Wales and was praised, but the only reason he made those changes at half time is because he knew he'd be slaughtered if he took 5 strikers and the likes of Vardy didn't get on the pitch.

What the hell did he do for those 9 months in between beating San Marino and the start of this tournament. 3.5 million a year, for what?

And now you're giving me Gareth Southgate as his likely successor? Another dour character with zero charisma, another character who's unlikely to tell Harry Kane he's fucking shit at free kicks, another character unlikely to spread the fear of fuckery into any player who thinks a performance like tonight is mildly acceptable. If he gets the gig my dwindling enthusiasm for England will vanish into thin air.

Fuck off FA, fuck off Roy and fuck off if you're not going to man up and give everything for the shirt.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Seriously the only English man I'd entertain giving the gig too would be Eddie Howe, but I think he'd stay loyal to Bournemouth. We can't just select the next manager purely because he's English, there's a very limited pool of English managers and are any even good enough? I think the next guy will be foreign, or Gareth Southgate.

 

[mistermagic]

Laurent Blanc is available...

 

[Benito]

The indigenous team won.

 

[james porter]

Well I was proved correct as soon as the squad was announced .My first words where "wrong players " too many of the same type of striker .taking players not match fit always comes back to haunt us .Squad looks unbalanced .
1 wide players to give width and open the centre up . Andros Townsend who can cross example
2 one striker who can batter defences (Andy Carol ?) for example .Those taken easily pushed off
3 speedy inform striker Jermain Defoe
4 why did it take so long to take Rooney when every one could see he was crap tonight
Now the games what was the formations if any. Where they told we win by going forward not side to side .does the manager order them to back pedal when the other team have the ball don't tackle until our area is neared . When we have the ball move into space not take turns playing statues or running alongside the player with the ball . who ever takes over please make the players watch real class football as played by Iceland the worthy winners

 

[Destruction]

Funniest thing I've seen in ages.

Some of our brightest talents in a decade forever tarnished with the negativity and failure of a manager who I backed unconditionally, for my sins.

Howe, please. Anyone positive, please. As bad as they have been this tournament, Kane, Alli, Sterling, et al, deserve more.

And I was just about to say "Where is that Jockney who was cock-a-hoop after that Russia performance" but fair play, I'll let you off.
