This is maybe a stupid question now but why was Hodgson appointed in the first place. I mean FA have money, surely they can have any manager in the world.
Cause he is a Yes Man.

It was a baffling appointment. At the time the entire nation was calling for Redknapp and Redknapp was publicly saying he would love to manage England.

Then the FA ignored the whole country and went for there own man.

The scariest thing about watching England under Roy Hodgson is striking similarity to United under LVG. Pointless possession based football with very little penetration.
He doesn't understand how to play posession football, a few years ago he was parking the bus all of a sudden he thinks he's going to play tikitaka. What a joke.

Englands defenders are dogshit. If you add Hart to that, there is no way they could progress far.

Across the Universe....from Old Trafford.
Sterling - in fairness he did create our penalty, for our goal.
Rooney - he did score the penalty.
Kane - this guy is in bad form (for England) and should be benched for the remainder of the tournament. Perhaps the big crowds and tournament pressure has got to him?

I'd definitely bring on Vardy in place of Kane (is that not what happened a few games back)?
next 45 minutes you mean.

we are going out the way we are playing.

Can we not just start a petition to get England back in Europe if we go out?

Well, he was not good enough for LFC, so I guess England thought, he's good enough for us!

This sub makes no sense, no idea why Dier is the player being replaced.

How were we able to take the kickoff with one player? We've done it before like this but I don't know why that's allowed.

I'd genuinely rather listen to that Icelandic commentator than the ITV lot

Not sure what you people are on about. Wilshere for Dier is a perfectly logical sub. Get a passer in the middle.

He's taking the only defensive midfielder England have out, so no balance now. Iceland will score a 3rd at some point because of that.

If only Rooney was as good at opening defences as he was at opening cans of beer.
