Somewhere, on a holiday far from France....

Reckon an out of form Theo would have been better that the sh**e that was Kane in this tournament

Great day at the Euros!
First game was just a great game, Italy's tactics and passion v a Spain playing on past glory.
This game shows how poorly the FA runs the national team....Roy is so over the hill...Not like there are no talented players,..
Congrats to Iceland, to Italy....

England have won one of their last eight games at major tournaments.
A last minute winner vs Wales.

Just heard the Icelandic commentator's newest efforts. He's outdone himself 😆

England should form their own trading bloc and have their own football competition, they could invite the Channel Islands the Isle of Man and Gibraltar and call it the British Empire cup.

Wales would probably win it.

Birkir Bjarnason and Ragnar Sigurdsson have to be in with a shout in the best XI at the moment. Bossy players.

Sigurdsson was unplayable tonight. Holy shit what a performance.

We should get a petition going where people can vote for Dolph Lundgren to play Lars Lagerbäck in the movie someone's bound to make about Iceland.

Yep. Just predictable and ultimately not competitive

Roy gone. Hmmm who next?

Iceland remind me of Greece circa 2004. And just like Greece did at Euro 2004, I can see Iceland knocking out France too. France seem to struggle creating chances against good deep lying defences and look suspect on set pieces/long balls (exactly where Iceland excel)

.

France have a lot more guile and won't be caught by surprise like England. Kane, Rooney, Alli, and Sturridge are all shoot-first players with little creativity. Walker and Rose's main attribute is pace- doesn't make sense playing them against a team that will sit deep.

But then again, Iceland have proven they can give anyone a game

Hodgson has resigned immediately as expected.

Feel for him, seems like a good guy but this result is right up there with the one against USA in 1958.

Coombs

They've got to stop trying to make clever or patriotic coaching decisions. They have to get a top manager known for winning games, not just for making a fist of it at lower-mid table clubs or bringing young players through. Don't think one of those with an English passport exists tbh.

France are much tougher mentally than England, they have a far better midfield and Griezmann is streets ahead of any of the goalscorers that England have.

I reckon this is as good as it gets for Iceland, they won't beat France.

I hope they don't anyway, I'm going all out for France now.

Coombs

Desperate for Wales to beat Belgium, but have little hope.

lorddulaarsenal

I want ze Germans to win and think they will.

I still can't believe they've lost to Iceland.

I've seen some things watching England in the last 20 years but oh my word.

Feel sorry or all you guys that actually are invested in the team and the players. This must hurt like hell. It's worse than humiliating, it's genuinely shameful.

That said, I am happy as can be at the players being shown up for the overrated crap that they are. Even on here too many good things have been said about the likes of Hart, Walker, Delli Alli, Kane and all of the others really. Steaming pile of shit of a team and a squad. So, so, so overrated. Not a single genuinely quality footballer in there.
