The ONLY Euro 2016 thread

[augie]

Just watching the summation of tonight's game on rte and a fact was mentioned that absolutely blew me away - since 1966 engerland have beaten just 6 countries in a knockout game (excluding games won by penalties) in the world cups and European championships It is even worse when you consider that those 6 countries includes the names of Paraguay, Ecuador, Cameroon and Denmark

Mr Wenger England need a new manager come on you know you want it.

[augie]

After another dire and costly error, should somebody check Almunia's residency rules again???

Hart is another clown who is vastly over-rated and who has allowed the fame to go to his head - instead of doing cringeworthy shampoo ads, he should be putting in extra hours trying to find the type of skills that truly world class keepers display every fcuking week

Has to be up there as the worst England performance in recent history

Well done Iceland, it just goes to show once again you don't have to be a multimillionaire to succeed in football, just show heart, desire and discipline oh, and to play as a team where everyone knows exactly what they are meant to be doing and when to do it

Talking this desire to leave Europe to a whole new level

On a serious note, after 25 minutes we were forced to endure listening to jim beglin writing hodgson off and I don't think that is fair - no he is not blameless, but a team with the quality they have, should beat that Iceland team without a manager. the English players continue to let the manager, their fans and their country down, but yet they will escape relatively unscathed (with exception of shrek) whilst the manager will be absolutely lynched

Do we really have any quality players?

The English press have been talking up Kane, Alli, Vardy etc all season but we've seen their true level and Rooney is as over-rated as ever.

One test might be to consider if we would want to see any of the current national team in an Arsenal shirt. I can't think of one, and we know how fantastic our team is at the moment.

Spot on mate it makes a mockery of players earning thousands of pounds a week everyone in that Iceland team knew their job and they had so much more hunger and desire than the England players.

Nail on the head there mate. Any achievement in football is talked about in terms of money these days but the players and most managers are still clueless when the pressure is really on.

Despite the millions - is 2016 better than 1989 ??????

[the playing mantis]

hahaha

golden generation my arse. 5 scum players what do they expect. a crap premier league standard where scum simply stood still and took advantage of big clubs self implosions, yet there players get lauded as the 2nd coming. now we see the truth. yes the mongoloid is good in the pl the rest massively overrated...eric facking dier??? really!!! walker and rose, christ i havent seen a worse pair of england full backs. as for dier just a dirty bastard.

[Perryashburtongroves]

Vardy is shit, all the scum players are shit, Rooney is a fat slob, Hart is shit , Cahill is a donkey, Sterling is shit, Sturridge is shit. Yet, they'll all sit there and moan but suck their cocks off on Match of the Day next season when they 'put in a shift' against Bournmouth or Burnley.
That Rashford did more in five minutes than fatty Rooney has done in four tournaments and English football really is horrifically fucking terrible.

[Nos89]

10 players from two teams that finished the season poorly. Took that form with them.
Absolutely woeful. At least both Irish sides left the tournament with a bit of pride.

[rodders999]

Yet again against a team that doesn't defend on the half way line the rat faced chav with the wanking glove can't do jack shit. Same thing will happen him next season when the league has finally wised up to Leicester.

The greatest bullet ever dodged I tell ya. He's fucking SHIT!

[silus]

The second half performance was quite possibly the worst performance I have seen from so called international footballers.

You know it's bad when I've got more hope of seeing Arsenal win the champions league in my lifetime, then I have of seeing England win a major tournament.

The fuckers should be made to swim home.

[rodders999]

And for a manager to have a pre prepared resignation letter in his fucking pocket? Jesus Christ that is the most loser, small time pathetic thing I think I've ever seen from a manager.....and we have Clueless FFS!

He's an educated man, not an illiterate Redknapp type. He's more than capable of thinking things up and phrasing them when needs be rather than having them prepared. It's the FA and that rent-a quote chav *word censored* Dyke, who need to take the blame for another laughably, pathetic tournament.

[Block93]

Just want to put something in context - I said on this forum a while back that Walcott should have gone and not Sterling. Walcott has struggled this season, but Arsenal are an infinitely better team than England, and quite frankly Walcott's class would have stood out amongst that rubbish this evening. He was probably as lucky to not go this time as he was unlucky actually to go when he was 18, or whatever.

But at least this evening has made me feel a lot happier about the Vardy situation.
