btw, every international tournament I'm reminded of how godawful the english commentators are. Even up to the last few minutes their chat was to belittle Iceland, as if England should automatically be better just because they're the larger country... Iceland have built a team that plays well together - england struggle to find two up front that can play together!

The only thing better would be if they defeat Portugal in the final.

Aye, I should rephrase that to mean the mainstream TV commentators. I think in general the 5live commentators are meant to be decent? Should have muted the telly and put on the radio :)

I bet it still isn't sinking in how poor England are as a team. This was the first match I've watched. I stopped just after the 2nd half.

As someone that regularly went to see the team I support and Man U games I think footballs a broken sport. I just can't support these people with shaped eyebrows and thier own nightclubs.

Think I'll stick to the UCI downhill on redbull.tv and rugby union thanks.

:up:

Eddie Howe would be my choice, give him time. I touted him to replace the Hodge in the last WC too. Credit to Iceland though, England may have been devoid of ideas but Iceland were playing some steadfast football.

100% this. they flattered to deceive in the group stage, but ultimately a combination of a shit goalkeeper, clueless manager, and inability to create anything in the final third meant they destined for Engxit

Iceland have actually played pretty well, so all the post-match commentary was condescending. so what if they have only 330,000 people? if they can find 11 decent players out of that it's game on

Or purely on who is playing well at that time, rather than going for the same people out of loyalty.
