england v iceland

"rashford actually ran at iceland"

That's the thing, young players are enthusiastic. Same for Rooney, when he started off his international career. Downhill ever since.

What was it Hodgson said "We fear no one"

manager will get sacked & 10 mil compensation, no matter what manager you get ifs there is no soul you aint gonna win nothin

How much do these players get played when playing for England?

They should withhold the Managers pay as well. Taking money by deception

we have soul and fckn passion just the players are fckn gash,throw in a fckn turnip managing them and thats what you get

No leaders , a gutless rancid performance

we fear no one except iceland

joe must be glad everyones focussing on woy.  he blew it big time.

Will the F.A, finally realise that this fiasco and its like stem from the coaching of kids? Iceland's are coached by UEFA qualified coaches.

Iceland have one UEFA 'B' qualified coach for every 500 people.

England have one for every 10,000.

So many have the Luke Donald syndrome. Rich with no need to win big championships. It's all wrong, you should be rewarded for winning not failing.

2nd goal was his fault no doubt, another overpaid city t.....r

Yep it's not lack of passion they are just not very good players technically or mentally

woys resigned

I reckon Crouch is right about their inability to perform under pressure - but they're supposedly elite sportsmen getting paid fortunes - the idea is that they're supposed to perform at their best under pressure.

we,re a team of individuals,kane,sturridge just have ione thing in their minds to shoot whatever the situation,thing theres alot of jealousy between the players

Bollocks Roy

Hodgson's interview a joke saying the players were hungry yeah for burgers

He had his speech already written

love to play for their country, didnt look like it, bring back michael owen & gazza

woy's done a runner like camoron

i've got a betting slip. £50 Ireland.

the r looks a bit like a c.  any chance ??

'these things happen' - yep, every 2 years.

What a weazel

what century is roy talking about, the year 4250 i predict

Honourable man = Loser

FU roy, never come back

YELLOW BELLY

He had his speech already written

before he came to france

He should have went after the World Cup disaster.

honourable man, he would of been sacked anyway

Roy is a nice guy but clueless about football I mean how was your main striker taking the frees

That's right Woy wun away you utter Wemainer

England 197 X  the population of Iceland. That says it all.

Everybody knew that had the smallest knowledge of football that he should not have got the job.

woy just gone fave ahead of Bo JO for prime minister

He said,"the players did everything i asked of them".what the hell did he say to them.Pity he didn't ask them to score goals!!!.

lee dixon seems to know exactly where we went wrong, what we should have done etc etc 

why is he not employed by the FA ??

The FA are pricks

iceland scored two decent goals, england barely created anything of worth

Lagerbäck: "I've never lost to England"

our lass could do the same job he,s done he picks the 20 best players as percieved by sky,motd,no thought into a style of play
drinkwater ditched,no thought of albrighton,

Redknapp not even listed on the odds for next manager shows how poor the coverage is

i reckon alan pardew to get the job, hes got passion & soul, a lot more than the players anyway

Big Sam?

fck me,on my deathbed when i dont even know my own fckn name i'll still know the population of fckn iceland

Diego Simeone. Pay him what he wants and get a the hard bar steward and winner in. Southgate ffs do me a favour.

Redknapp

forgot about redknapp, another good choice

Now that's passion

Gordon Ramsay should be the next England Manager

Farage and Jeremy

Wrighty and Dicko reckon GNev could n't have been involved in organising the defence, they obviously missed his coaching spell at Valencia.

photo's bollox, she was never down that end of the pitch

Not one of the England players plays abroad.  They are happy with £100k+ a week playing in "the best league in the world".
They wouldn't get a game in Germany, Spain, Italy unless they are selling shirts.
Any England players snapped up for big money to play in China?

And the England manager selects his team by putting in at least  representative of each of the top clubs, Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs.

Goldfish memory will kick in and fans will be expecting England to win the World Cup in 2018.

resigned ?  bit like getting caught with your hand in the til by the boss and then telling him you've had enough ....

Anyone see Private Eye cover?

http://www.private-eye.co.uk/issue-1420/current-issue

get a fkn haircut Rooney

TV coverage no comment on Kane taking free kicks and rashford the corners how is that not the managers fault

Garreth Southgate next ffs

some players rise up when they play for their country, but others seem to collapse under the pressure

Over a 1000 posts, this is like the good old days!

Sterling plummeting against the Króna.

Try My Best
Starts at kids level when they coach it out of them to express themselves. The result is that you get this utter **** when noboby can create anything. Young kids who can play but not very big are put on the bench for kids who can't play but are big. The coaching in this country is crap.

Spot on.  If a kid's birthday is in January he has a year advantage on a kid born in December.  The smaller kid never gets a game all the way through the under-age years.

James Milner ..birthday 4th January
Jack Wilshere .................1st January
Eric Dier ...........................15th January
Jamie Vary ......................11th January

Next PM Theresa MAY ?

No vubiant,next England manager!

Nigel Pearson  should be the next manager,  you no why !

Football's coming home.

Like watching my sons sunday team, Inability to pass the ball 10 yards, letting the ball slip under your feet when trying to control it, getting your centre forward to take free kicks 35 yards out and he just sends it into the stand The  re-introduction of Sterling after his previous performances ( Lallana had actually been one of our better players ) says all you need to know about the manager . Shambles

Re the above .Sons district side played someone at the end of the season who the Coach had never seen play simply because he was 6 ft 2 in at 13 years old old.....

Big Sam might be worth a shot - he is good with struggling teams tbf.

At least we have now seen the last of Hodgson and Rooney.

I agree Coppen. See it in my sons team as well.

listenin g to people ringing in-talking about passion-weve got passion by the fckn ton,just the skill levels are way behind,roy is the icing on the fckn cake tho-a chump

Well happy with my Iceland back tho rommel

wd,i thought it was on the cards,didnt have the guts to do it tho

Icelandic commentator on tonights match

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8skM_v5a5I

Roy not realise he dissing himself in resignation speech.
Squad claimed to be 'brilliant, hungry and talented'...yet he couldn't get them to beat any one out of Russia ,Slovakia or Iceland!

genuinely gutted for england but what a crock of sh@t my only consolation is that I support Italy

'Roy will take the positives out of it and move forward'

lol'd at that

The only positive is that we won't be seeing Roy again!

not all of us have short memories, this failure has gone on for years.

Don't know if it's been said, but that speech Hodgson gave, very strange, it was all down on paper and struck me as having had to have been pre written, what sort of mindset is that.

Also, Neville couldn't even find the gumption to get out there in front of the cameras and left it to a poor sorry looking doddery old fool to speak for him, how he has fallen in the past 12 months from being king of the sky gadgets to a failed manager and failed coach.

Commdnts in this thread are pure gold

Difficult for the kids they have had nothing to look up to since 1970 and all the losers since have been running things.

Only in England could this script be written and only by guys that have absolutely nothing to say on football.

club football rules...apart from the very rich balmy army..who cares about international comps.all they bring is a risk of injury to their superstars.

The problem with the England team is that the players  have all the power. We need a manager who will make all the players sit up and listen. Someone who will frighten the players and can get them to play to the maximum. Whether such a manager exists is another matter.

england players bust a gut for their country every time they play(as do all the home nations and the republic of ireland boys too)just our players are pretty poor,if we played to our strengths and had a half decent manager we could get to the last four of both comps....erickson,capello mclaren and the tragic born loser Roy-all mugs

It all started in 1966 with Jimmy Greaves, since then: Duncan McKenzie, Tony Currie, Stan Bowles, Matt le Tissier, Vinnie Jones, Alan Hudson, Rodney Marsh, Peter Osgood, Denis Mortimer, Billy Bonds etc etc etc. Artists and Warriors. Most of them decades ago admittedly but the FA and their coaches have systematically bred talent out of native footballers.

get rid of Hart - liability of the highest order

At least he admitted he was at fault for two goals in the tournament unlike arrogant tw@t Hodgson who never remotely looked like he knew what he was doing.

A great thread that needs to be archived so that we always have a reminder of just how unbelievably rank England were
