June 27, 201610 yr The players are probably more concerned about how their investments are going to do as a result of Brexit.
June 27, 201610 yr Seriously joe hart how many times does he make stupid mistakes? Gonna cost us Sick and tired of silly mistakes
June 27, 201610 yr England are mince, they haven't played anyone decent all tournament and have looked like mugs on a gamely basis. That being said they should still win this, not even England can cock this one up.
June 27, 201610 yr Plan B? I'm not sure it's technical or tactical; it's effort and commitment - being faster to pass and to close down and tackling assertively, not backing off. This game reminds me of our group games in the last World Cup.
June 27, 201610 yr I'm way too old to expect much from an England team in a tournament but for some strange reason I had a slight feeling of optimism ahead of this game. Well that was good while it lasted.
June 27, 201610 yr Terrible 45 mins. Probably one of the worst I've seen from an England team. Not really sure we have what it takes to turn this around tbh. Wish we were lumping it long to a Carroll or crouch, at least then that would constitute anot actual game plan!
June 27, 201610 yr No excuse for England, we play against teams like this week in week out. Very very poor, how can we get done by a long throw?
June 27, 201610 yr It's f**king Iceland. If this was a qualifier, England would win by 3 or 4, but as soon as the tournament starts, they crumble. Also, why the f**k are we playing different to how were playing the friendlies and the qualifiers ? why change everything that got you to the tournament in the first place ? It's like as soon as any tournament starts, everything changes. The style of football changes, the formation changes, the players roles change and the team selection changes. Why not just stick to the settled side that got us here in the first place ?
June 27, 201610 yr What a game. Loving this. Iceland making England look like Farmfoods. Some very critical pundits. Joe Hart is awful again. No idea why he seems untouchable.

Could have done with Carroll for Iceland's goal, would have done a better job than Rooney
June 27, 201610 yr Should Noble have been there? Arguably, plus others. Hodgson is an easy target but you pick by form, not by reputation imo.
June 27, 201610 yr England haven't exactly been Sterling, have they? They've been positively Dier. Definitely Waynening as a football country. The only ones that Rose to the occasion during the first half were the Icelandics. Jeez, England might as well field a side of pensioners who can't move without Walkers or Kanes. At least those pensioners would play with Hart. There's a real mental Cahill to Clyne the second half. If they can't do it, they risk getting pelted by Stones.
June 27, 201610 yr "England are getting beat off Iceland" and "embarrassing" are reasons why I despise English commentators. Ian Wright is a tool.

Why not just stick to the settled side that got us here in the first place ? I keep saying this but play an English style. Iceland are playing an English game imo. We are being beaten by our own natural game.
June 27, 201610 yr "England are getting beat off Iceland" and "embarrassing" are reasons why I despise English commentators. Ian Wright is a tool. Embarrassing somes it up perfectly.
June 27, 201610 yr "England are getting beat off Iceland" and "embarrassing" are reasons why I despise English commentators. Ian Wright is a tool. No offence to Iceland but, on paper, this shouldn't be a contest. Respect to Iceland as you are winning deservedly.
June 27, 201610 yr England haven't exactly been Sterling, . Brexit really has affected the currency hasn't it, on and off the pitch.
June 27, 201610 yr Brexit really has affected the currency hasn't it, on and off the pitch. Yeah, the team sure has taken a pounding.
