I don't know, I would say letting Leicester win the league was nearly as bad, but then again it is Iceland.

"Embarrasement"
"Gullibillity"
Kinda on this topic, just had a similar discussion and came to the conclusion that someone like Rafa Benitez could do pretty good as the England manager, he usually does well in tournament football and somehow almost saved that awful Newcastle side last season, so is still capable of getting a crap team performing. It'll never happen though, FA will give it to some other mediocre manager.

Yet another example of England playing themselves due to fear of immigrants
You know it's bad when The Daily Mirror are calling you a 'disgrace'.

Ha! We tried a few foreign managers and they didn't fair too well. Although not quite as badly as Woy.
that's because you never appointed a manager that actually wants to play footy.
Not really.
We hate the constant 1966 shit, Clive "JUSTICE FOR THE ENGLAND 11" Tyldsley, Ian Wright (he's a fucking mascot with zero insight) and "Every other country better watch out" shit.
The scorn shit is just cute.
Gullibility was put in there for a reason, ha ha.

If Iceland don't start doing adverts starring Joe Hart dropping various types of frozen foodstuffs, they're missing out on a huge marketing opportunity.

Whose idea was it to call this Brexit 2, because I can't stop fucking laughing that is brilliant.

Pretty much.
We never hear the end of 1966 even to this day.
If England actually won a tournament again (lol) the gloating from the English media would be insufferable.

Suck it! Not our fault Spurs bottled it and managed to finish third in a two horse race.
It has to be said England were awful tonight. The players sure, but the FA England setup is probably the main issue.

Pisses me off when people act like the English media speak for all English fans. If you seriously think that we all thought we'd win the Euros after beating Germany in friendly you're deluded. Yeah, there might have been some tongue in cheek comments about it from some people but they're not to be taken seriously. As for today's game, I knew we'd lost as soon as we went 2-1 down, Hodgson doesn't have the capacity to adapt a team during a game (The Wales game was a fluke, he made the two most obvious subs and benefited from the fact it was a big game and Wales were a bit shaky when we were putting them under pressure). ITV pundits do not speak for the general English supporting public, we weren't all talking about the quarters while we were losing, and most of us realised ages ago that we were going nowhere with Roy at the helm. Thankfully he's gone now but I'm not at all optimistic about his successor. Something needs to be done about football in this country but the FA daren't mess with the Premier League so there handy "solution" to the fact that we keep producing mediocre players will be B teams in the Football League, which is a disastrously shit idea and won't even work while Man City, Chelsea and United's youth teams are all filled with the very best talent from South America and Africa. Fuck sake lads, future of the England national team is bleak.

Both go hand in hand. The constant high expectations lead to this shit when they inevitably fuck up.

Hah, fair play xD I bet it's not too far from reality though, papers tend to go savage mode for this stuff.

To be fair to Ian Wright, whilst he gets overzealous with his support, he quite rightly called them out on being shit tonight. They should make Lee Dixon manager, he'd sort the fuckers out. Rather him than that horse faced clown Southgate.
at least he tried and did well unlike all the other shitters

If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two.

Is he good?
To be fair, I've not met a single English person who has any time for Tyldsley's nonsense. Don't get me wrong they seem to put up with it in the same way you put up with you'd put up with your alzheimer beduddled Granddad on a trip to the beach, rather than the nails on chalkboard reaction he elicits in the rest of the english speaking world but they're not exactly anything other than mildly embarrassed by him and the shite he spouts in my experience.
You know I feel sorry for McLaren somewhat, he is by all accounts a nice guy who is a very good coach on the training ground. He's just utterly, utterly unsuited to anything more than that. Continually promoted above his abilities, and some poor sad of a chairman hears tales of how good a technical coach he is, how good he is at training young players yadda yadda and before you know it Stevie's collecting another p45 and fat severance package.
Can't be that bad no?
What was Roy on, £1.5m ?
Didn't they pay Eriksson like £4m or something stupid to sack him?

If your FA is smart ( LOL ), you get on the phone immediately and offer everything that Hiddink would want to coach England. He's great at making shite national teams quite successful.
that worked well with the dutch squad innit

Pretty sure we wont be seeing sterling or kane on the national team for a long time
Not only will they be back, but they will probably start too.
antonio was the most dangerous english winger in the run up to the euros and he was playing right back.

Yeah, just like how similar our World Cup squad was! Wait...
Joe Hart, Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling, Jack Wilshere, Wayne Rooney, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Raheem Sterling, Ross Barkley were all part of the 2014 team.Danny Welbeck would have made it 10 of 23 that were there from 2014.
Luxembourg have 200,000 more people than Iceland... LUXEMBOURG. The fact that Iceland is as good as they are is incredible.

You surely must admit that over half the team being new is evidence against the whole 'nothing will ever change!' claim.
England fail to deliver at another tournament. Roy's squad choices were questionable to start with and showed they were ultimately wrong in the end.
Got to love his passion.

Shiiiieeeettt, can't wait for him in the PL.
