When people wonder why I'm watching/liking football, I often wish I had videos like this to link them on the spot.

Only team in the quarter finals that doesn't deserve it is Poland imho. Switzerland played better.

Ohhh, someone is scared I see.....

You don't have talent. You think you have talent, but you don't. What you have are mediocre players and an average skill level raised dramatically by foreign talents. And it shows. Sorry, but this bubble needs to burst finally. I can't hear "we have a better league" to follow anymore and you lot not caring about your national team. There used to be a time when you did care. And those fans booing in the stands today did care, too.

Says the guy who supports a team who gets all their talent from their rivals.

Can Arsenal do us a big favour and revive Oxlade-Chamberlaine?

Not sure if I understand this comment but w/e.

You can't hear? Well, you're not English so thats irrelevant to me. I think we have talent, not world class but individually we have talent.

Well once upon a time he seemed a good prospect for England. Then he died, he plays at arsenal, sort it out.

I really hoped the underdog English side could upset Iceland, but the Vikings were just too much of a challenge. Still a very spirited performance by the plucky Englishmen to keep it within one goal.

Who's next?

To be honest you are right. We need a rule that every premier league team has to have atleast 6 English players on the field at a time. I hope this humiliating defeat we have suffered will wake people up to the reality that there is not enough being done in English football to breed English talent. I had a feeling this was coming and this is the only positive I can draw from it.

Fucking gold.

LOL? Which players would you take? I mean, who else is there? Is this again attacking the manager to find a scapegoat? This is their best team. It won't get much better than this. I mean, who came up with the bonkers idea to put someone like Rooney in midfield anyway? Fights like an ox but has no brain at all to direct a game. :P

He might have picked the right 23, but if he can't make them work together in the field, it's his fault. He also picks the starting 11, which was far from the ideal choice.

It's never going to happen. The FA and everyone invested in the EPL is too interested in the money it rakes in.

Andros Townsend for a start, finished the season in great form for Newcastle and is a right-winger, something we lacked. Drinkwater deserved a spot over Henderson for sure.

Townsend is what you call a quality replacement? He only played 16 games last season, is that right? 4 goals, 2 assists? In 16 games? That's 288 minutes per goal. compare that to Müller's 117 minutes per goal.

Townsend wasn't even in the squad for most of the season. For half a dozen games he was put in the second team, too. This is a replacement you want for your national team? Yeah, that explains a lot about English football, really...

I'm gonna love all the memes that will follow

Ohhh, someone is scared I see.....

Not at all, honestly. I was worried about Croatia tho. Don't you think Switzerland played better?

You loose against people who play in the 2nd german national league (in FCK no less lol). Not sure what you understand as talent...

Yup, well a compotent manager might get us past the likes of Iceland in the future, but will not fix that problem.
