Iceland are good and this "worst England result of all time" talk is pretty insulting.

Nobody is saying that. Theyre saying it's the worst England performance.

Phwoar Rooney ran that midfield again last night, I'm sure glad Hodgson is as smart all the retards on this forum who thought he performed well against Russia, might as well just take a bunch of cross country runners next time, this dumbass country will see it as an improvement.

Should have brought Albrighton, Simpson and Drinkwater, another actual winger and played 4-4-2 with Vardy and Sturridge up top. Which is more of a plan than what we had, expecting if you crowbarred enough name value into the starting XI other teams would just roll over.

The better Manning.
The second goal was the most Joe Hart goal ever, get right on top of it and then just fart it into the back of the net like a complete rear end. The fact that people still somehow convince themselves he's not total trash is a mystery to me.

Really? Which English loss was worse than this? Your team of Premier League millionaires and the world's highest paid manager couldn't get it done against a nation the size of Enfield with a manager/dentist. This is like losing a game of checkers against a bowl of diarrhea.

Iceland's Premier League millionaire is better than all of England's. There's no shame in losing to that.

I don't think the actual result is the main concern, Iceland have done well against other teams as good as (and better than) England. What loving grates is the manner of the defeat, we looked a complete shambles with absolutely no desire, cohesion, ability or inventiveness. I don't know what the gently caress happened to Danny Rose for example. Every time he got the ball on the left side he would just stop, stand still, look around a bit, then pass the ball back to one of the centre backs.

there's just TOO MUCH talent in england to be nursed into fruition. in iceland they probably get personal sessions every day since they were born. now england have players like "alli". you couldnt make it up.

As poo poo as he was, it's not really fair that Sterling is taking the brunt of the criticism

Kane was just as bad and Rooney only looked decent against Russia

Clyne is better than Walker too. Walker has zero end product

No wingers and teams figuring out if they park the bus we can't play through meant it didn't matter who was at full back as teams just doubled up on the only available width. Roy's plan A didn't work and had no plan B.

It's not hard for central midfielders to look poo poo when there's 9 men defending and Kane bumbling about looking like a knackered shadow of his former self.

Neither does Clyne, to be fair. However, his face isn't as punchable as Walker's.

quote:

SSNHQ has been told that senior England players:

Were surprised by the use of a 4-3-3 formation, which had barely been implemented in any of England's friendly matches in 2016.

Questioned the selection of Raheem Sterling for the Iceland game, after he showed signs of lacking confidence throughout the tournament.

Felt momentum had been lost by making six changes for the Slovakia game, which they drew 0-0.

Wondered why Adam Lallana did not start against Iceland after his impressive performances during the group stages.

Debated among themselves the merits of playing Wayne Rooney in midfield, for the first time in his England career.

Were left frustrated that Marcus Rashford was left to warm up for approximately 10 minutes before he was sent on for the final four minutes of the Iceland game with England in desperate need of a goal.

Felt his pre-prepared statement at the post-Iceland press conference was an indication he may have doubted the team's chances before the game.

no mention of kane's set pieces though
