Rooney what the f*** was up with him !
Joe Hart is he really the best keeper we have.
One word embarassing!!
It was an almost "Wassall home to Hull in the playoffs" like performance. No-one turned up, or if they did, they ****ed off home after 15 minutes. I can honestly say I have never seen a more inept performance in an international game (not even Brazil in the 2014 World Cup semi final). Boosted by a 2nd minute penalty and the lead I anticipated a comfortable win as Iceland would have to come out and play, rather than sit back and absorb what we threw at them. I was right - it was a comfortable win: for Iceland.

Could we take anything at all from the performance: no. The much vaunted new golden generation stunk the place out. Defensively weak when under only slight pressure: Kane was diabolical (I think a doping test should be done on him for sedatives); Rooney showed why he is not up for the play-maker role and perhaps will retire from International football now; the rest were just shoddy, imprecise in their passing, slow and seemed to have no inspiration.

In fact Wassall would make a good England manager with this lot to work with.
