Just cut a hole in your seat.

Yep, don't buy this 'sub standard.' Lacking fortitude and spirit and bottle perhaps, but Iceland are in the quarter finals. Wales are in the quarter finals. It isn't just about players, it is about playing as a team and to a system that works. England players were played out of position...

No, we didn't really threaten, but with the right system and right tactics and formations (as you alluded to with Kane) we could have been more threatening. As you say, Kane taking corners? Hodgson either picking players out of form (Sterling), or players that weren't fit (Wilshere).

Well one thing has been immediately identified in this thread right here today. Hart talking about the next game against the French in the tunnel and Kane not even knowing if we had to win. There's a touch of arrogance about us that makes us think we have a goddamn right to be in these...

Thing is, OSB, we dominated all three group games despite not having a clear plan, the right formations, good crossing, a keeper playing well etc. Not saying we ever could have won the thing, but how much better could we have done if we did have the clear plan and right tactics and formations...

I thought 2 for Rooney was rather generous. Worst ever performance I ever have seen from him, CJ. One thing you can always be confident of with Rooney is that he can pass the ball. Last night he couldn't even do that. Would love to see the pass accuracy for the whole team. It had to have been...

Surely Harry Kane isn't that thick is he? Oh, and thanks Joe Hart for giving the Iceland team their team talk for them.

And Hodgson was in the clouds.

If it was Shearer he would need good coaches around him.

Iceland. 4 games, same team. I know they have less to pick from, but still, continuity. Lee Dixon said about a week ago, a back four need to stick together as much as possible. You develop an understanding and know how and when to cover each other. Changing the midfield messed stuff up too...

Yep. England remind me of the City in so many ways.

A German managing England!! What!!! What!!!!!!! Next you will be telling me we are going to be leaving the EU!

We could always change the words of 'Take me home' to 'We've got no home.'

Well, true. Look how dismal England rugby were in the World Cup, less than a year ago and look at them now! Gone from Barnstoneworth United to Barcelona in an instant.

Before the game I would have told you I would have been shocked, but as soon as we went 2-1 down you could see the way the game was going to pan out, with England getting worse and worse and more and more clueless as the game wore on. I wasn't shocked at all to see 'same old England.'

Take a sweater. Quite often the freezer compartments are left open.

The hairs on the back of my neck are standing up just thinking about it.

Yet Greece won the European Championship with average players. It can be done. Look how far Iceland have got on the back of will, energy, belief and never say die attitude. I agree we are not that good, but players last night who CAN pass, didn't. Kane has a great shot on him. In this...

Well yep, it's not just the players who bottle it, it's the managers too. Capello and Ericksson could both set our stalls out incredibly defensively and negatively when we have had very talented forward players. Hodgson made many mistakes. He should have taken Townsend, possibly Andy Carroll...

Change your name to Give the FA the Boot and we may be on to something.
