Won't help his CL record, that's for sure :)
He's always got next year.
Edited: England 1 - 2 Iceland at half time it's embarrassing, England are so predictable and pedestrian. Reality check England are not very good, even if we some how win this France will tear us apart.
Coming into tournament I was not sure how good England were, now it's painfully clear.
That said, the Dutch could have told you that the boys from Iceland are a very tough bunch to play.
Finaly a Brexit I do enjoy.
Is it not just Exit?
As Wales is in the quarter finals, it's not a complete Brexit, but a 2/3 exit.
True, Wales are still in they are the one British team I enjoyed most.
The came that equalizer which was a bloody great goal and that second one that was well done but poorly defended by Hart.
The whole game you were waiting for England to wake up and just go bananas with putting some serious scoring ability on the pitch and it never came.
Iceland did play like a team something that the English team cannot be accused of. Iceland worked and what the heck England was up to will be anybody his guess.
I think that they severely underestimated Iceland and did not do their homework as the first goal was a duplicate of the Iceland goal against Austria.
Iceland had nothing to lose and England did rightly so on the basis of their game today.
But don't worry England! We'll start our own non European tournament with you, Iceland, Norway and Switzerland. There you are guaranteed a spot in the semi finals! :D
Want any more of these? ;)
Do love Danny Dyer.
Is it due to big bucks in the Premier League?
:-j
Very much so though the apathy seems a lot worse now.
Then might the answer to be to pick up the players in the Championship League, those who are hungry to prove themselves?
I wouldn't use the word lazy. Shambolic, appalling, woeful... But lazy implies they could've played better, whereas sadly I'm not sure the could. Whether it was physical, mental, or a bit of both, nearly everybody looked dead. It was almost as if the equaliser killed what energy they did have.
Kane looked like he'd been playing non-stop since the start of the tournament, lack-lustre delivery, misplaced passes, piss-poor shooting and, most telling of all was the haunted look on his face. I mean he's gormless at the best of times, but he looked like he just wanted to get off the pitch last night.
Then there was Rooney, who has been decent to be fair to him, but he looked liked he'd gone too. Anyone who plays football will know that feeling when your legs go, you struggle to make the simplest passes. Bizarrely this seemed to to kick in early in the second half for Wazza. I could see his knees going every time he was pressured.
Why did Barclay not come on for Rooney when he was clearly flagging? Why did Rashford not come on when it was clear Rose was struggling to run the channel alone?
As per, it was a case of managerial ineptitude and psychological meltdown. The FA need to think carefully post Hodgson. This is the youngest team at the tournament and there is genuine talent in there. There's always been genuine talent, we're just experts at bottling it.
It's insane. Time to introduce performance related pay for future England managers. And the execs/board members at the FA should have their own wages cut but I can't imagine that's possible in our wonderful :P 'free market' economy. In our society failure - consistent failure - is rewarded. The FA/the Premier League pay out vast salaries to failed managers. It does have the stench of corruption. And heck, there's FIFA - which is corrupt!
Introduce performance related pay for managers and top players playing for England. At least that makes it a bit fairer.
