They think it's all over! It is now!
I've been saying for days that Iceland would turn us over, so I suppose I'm the only Englishman to have done anything right tonight!

Methinks Hodgson will be collecting his pension from tomorrow. Unless the sunshines at the FA are way stupider than we give them credit for...

Nah, Dyke was on the point of ditching him already. I doubt they'll wait a second longer.

Here's hoping. They need someone who knows one end of a football from the other...

Maybe time for a younger manager and give them time to grow the... oh f*** it, who am I kidding? They'll pick some old duffer who'll play like it was 1966 and screw around with the team so no one has a clue what to do.
Maybe tempt the magic one? Or Pochetinno. I don't care of the manager isn't English: I just want him/her to win something!

On a serious note I'm not sure any manager in the world can get a winning side out of our fundamentally flawed football structure. By the time the players get to the point of being available it's usually far too late. There is no consistency across the levels and coaches are rarer than hen's teeth. Iceland has 185 FIFA A-licence coaches, England 1190, only 6 times as many for a population 160 times greater. Spain, with a similar population to England has over 13000. Even our most talented players therefore arrive in the international arena essentially clueless.

How much did you win?
Makes me wonder what 'Arry would have done over the last 3 tournaments.

Why do the English persist in believing they will win?

2 world wars and one world cup, doo-dah, doo-dah... 
The same reason anyone believes they will win I suppose.

I think it's reasonable to expect England to beat Iceland. Seeing as all ofvengland players play in the pl and a lot of Iceland players play on the lower leagues of English football and Iceland don't even have a professional team in their league

A loss to them would have lingered longer.

Seriously, you should've kept Sven-Göran Eriksson.
But then again, winning with that team would have been a wonder of biblical proportions.

If by "political intrigue and sexuality" you mean "cheap drivel written by morons who understand nothing about the world outside of American couch-potato land", then yup.
