Linker introducing MOTD as if Roy died. Jeez.

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

BBC highlights just starting. Rooney has scored from the spot.

Don't ruin the result for me, lads.

Come on, England!

Edit: Oh no.

You can call Samaritans at 116 123

Real talk, was Roy Englands worst manager ever?

Real talk, was Roy Englands worst manager ever?

McClaren was far worse, he still had players like Gerrard, Lampard and a prime Rooney but still fucked it up.

 

[sora87]

Real talk, was Roy Englands worst manager ever?

Top 2 for sure

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Real talk, was Roy Englands worst manager ever?

Nah. At least Hodgson qualified for all the tournaments he could, unlike Steve McLaren.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Real talk, was Roy Englands worst manager ever?

Remember how good England played at USA94?

Oh wait, didn't qualify.

 

[El Topo]

I'm not saying they were favourites or anything; but I firmly believe that this was on paper a mostly strong team (barring Hart and Sterling) that Hodgson squandered.

Oh, absolutely. You could have done better with the team. I mean, there is *some* amazing talent.

 

[Floody]

Real talk, was Roy Englands worst manager ever?

No, it's definitely McClaren, he had the "Golden Generation" (a lot at their peak), and didn't even qualify. Roy was just completely shit, a distant second.

 

[Inversive]

I was watching the game with my old man and the exact thing I said at 70 minutes is where is Rashford? Young player, little pressure/expectation, fast and skillful.... But no, Roy keeping that Kane/Sturridge combo going and Sterling for a good chunk.

Yep said the same to my mate, roy was clueless.

 

[Hasney]

Nah. At least Hodgson qualified for all the tournaments he could, unlike Steve McLaren.

And Graham Taylor.

 

[Alucard]

England being England, as usual. The media never learn.

 

[Big_Al]

Watching the MOTD highlights and some of the condescending shite from the commentators is fuckin irritating.

 

[Audioboxer]

Man those Kane set pieces. Seeing them again on highlights show.

Fucking awful. Like so bad.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

I wondered if this might end Joe Hart's status as England's number one keeper, but then I remembered he plays for a Big Club and is thus guaranteed the role forever. We also must find a space for our eternal talisman Rooney, shiteness be damned.

 

[Uzzy]

Real talk, was Roy Englands worst manager ever?

Don Revie? Keegan was pretty crap too.

 

[Jamie OD]

I take it people have seen this?

"oh no"

Just when I thought I had my fill along comes the dessert.

 

[la_briola]

England players frantically googling football after playing Iceland.

 

[CelticKnight]

Watching the highlights on MotD, saw a few Germans and a Welsh fan celebrating among the Iceland fans at the final whistle.

 

[Majine]

England players frantically googling football after playing Iceland.

"What is Iceland?"

lol city big club?

 

[usp84]

So since 1996 they have only managed to pass a knocout phase one time in 2002 and then get beaten by Brazil.

Ah the replies are great. It's like the english fans have no clue why the other home nations hate them.

 

[Big_Al]

Shearer going all in on berating the English team.

Rooney can take over as GK after a stint as a CB.

The things coming out of this are killing me.

This one deserves more attention xD

 

[Skele7on]

Harry Kane takes on Lawn Mowing.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

lol city big club?

Well, a rich club anyway. In close geographic proximity to an actual Big Club, yes.

 

[elty]

How horrible is each individual for England? I heard is Kane is horrible. Did Dier played horrible too since he got sub?

 

[Ape Gone Insane]

So how does each individual players play? All I heard is Kane is horrible.

Dying seconds of the game and he was still taking corners.

 

[derExperte]

He'll need to improve tenfold if he wants to survive more than one season under Pep.

Come on, England!

Edit: Oh no.

He he...

Real talk, was Roy Englands worst manager ever?

Taylor presumably.

 

[Floody]

So how does each individual players play? All I heard is Kane is horrible.

Rashford played for 5 minutes and was by far the best player for England tonight, should tell you everything you need to know about the rest. Kane, did nothing all game and spooned a few set-pieces at the end, it's probably why he's currently getting most of the stick.

 

[GeeTeeCee]

He'll need to improve tenfold if he wants to survive more than one season under Pep.

I hope so. I don't support City, or particularly care about the England squad, but even I'm sick of watching Joe Hart flail helplessly at all but the weakest of shots.

 

[sora87]

Damn, bbc pundits have been savage

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Damn, bbc pundits have been savage

And Robbie isn't even on tonight!

 

[Firemind]

Tbh Rashford was playing against a tired Iceland. Rooney and Kane were still woeful though.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Damn, bbc pundits have been savage

To be fair, unlike Ian Wright... none of the BBC team have seen Space Jam.

 

[kmag]

I hope so. I don't support City, or particularly care about the England squad, but even I'm sick of watching Joe Hart flail helplessly at all but the weakest of shots.

Forsters a really good goalkeeper as well.

 

[RaginRoss]

My personal highlight of the typical English arrogance was the half time analysis:

'Do they drop Joe Hart for the quarter final?'

You just can't make it up. They'll never learn.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

As a scotsman i am loving this on multiple levels

 

[2700]

He'll need to improve tenfold if he wants to survive more than one season under Pep.

His distribution is awful, I think Pep will be looking to quickly replace him

 

[GeeTeeCee]

Forsters a really good goalkeeper as well.

Yeah, it's a shame he never got a good run here at Newcastle, where he was trapped behind Krul before Krul ended up injured forever.

 

[LNBL]

Shame that overhead kick did not go in

 

[Skele7on]

It's all that shampoo in the eyes, you imagine trying to be a goal keeper in that state.

That's why afterwards he was seen punching his head, trying to wash it out.

He was anything but flake free though.

Best part of that arrogance was the ITV guys all said Roy should keep him in the team.

Just mental.

At least these BBC guys seem to see whats wrong with the team, rather than pretend Iceland just pulled of a cheeky fluke.

 

[AngryMoth]

Southgate at 2/1 to be the next manager? Fucking hell. Stand by for more of the same

Lol, Shearer putting his hat in the ring on MotD right now
