England v Iceland

[triz]

Well you can't be...it involves projections, and you're crap at those
Anyway, Roger's better at economics and I don't agree about Rats being a Spin Doctor...
...bloody hell, Hodgson gone...you could go for that instead!

Wish Roy would talk to Corbyn! At least he's gone with a little dignity.

Yep I can't wait to get the blairite tory lites back in control.

if corbyn is forced out then almost every one of my peers (who supported him) will become so disenfranchised by the whole system, that if they ever vote again it won't be for labour.

Hurrah for the status quo, and hurrah for anyone at all that is an establishment crony without an
inch of authenticity in there body.

Who to vote for John Thomson or Tom Johnson. Tough shout.

On topic, England are sheeeeite

I am just so glad to see the back of Hodgson - I've detested the man since he was manager of Blackburn many years ago and was seriously insulting to the Rams after we'd beaten them on their own turf. If I remember rightly he said it was unacceptable for his team to be beaten at home "by the likes of Derby County". I don't forget such things and I don't forgive them either. He almost brought me round after the way he managed the win against Wales but the reality is that he has managed to fashion a career based on mediocrity and that caught up with him tonight. My only concern at his departure is that Gareth Southgate has already been installed as favourite to succeed him - will we never learn????

Rats can take the Chiltern 100s along with Corbyn.

Wow...with knowledge like that you can be leader...good call. Triz is already a bit of a worry though...realistic isn't it?

P.S. OT...no point in being genuine and authentic Triz if you go awol when it matters. Where was he during the campaign when his opinion could have made a difference.

[triz]

Don't worry mate, we will get in a foreigner. There are zero decent English managers.

[ramAnag]

Southgate? Jeez...the world has truly gone mad.

I know what's done is done ,but why on earth did he bring sterling back in & revert to Kane on free kicks
and to bring on Wiltshire when he clearly in the last game he was not up to speed with first team football
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.

Spot on.. Why take injured players? Wilshire.. How many times do we need to make the same mistakes? Sterling.. Completely out of form this season but we still take him and shoe horn him into the side.. How many times do we need to make the same mistakes?
Playing people out of position and shoe horn them into the side? How many times do we need to make the same mistakes?
We learn nothing, now the same old discussions about grass roots football will come up again.. There is no need to over analyse this, we just need someone who does not over complicate things and picks players on merit not on reputation alone. Play the game simply and play to your strengths.. Most of our squad would get in most other squads with the obvious exceptions..
Why did Kane look so good throuout the season and so poor in this tournament? In fact why did most of them? Management team...
Now we have senior people in the FA who don't know much about football.. That's fine from a business stand point but please nowhere near the selection of the new man..

Please, oh God, whoever takes over get rid of Rooney and Hart. Rooney has always been overrated and seems to be past his sell by date. As for Hart, he has never been up to the job. Just look at the cock ups he has made over the years.

Grant is a better goalkeeper than Hart.

If he is the best we have got, God help us!!
