Jack Wilshere has come out of the dressing room to the side of pitch. He's chatting to his girlfriend and posing for selfies with stewards
I dunno if I believe that but those were crocodile tears at the end. "Oh shit we're going to get torn apart on twitter, lets all lay down on the floor pretend to cry and look gutted and maybe they'll go easy on us"

Do you remember the time Harry Kane went in goal and was shite? That's the level Joe Hart played at in this tournament.

Getting worried about Chelsea next season having seen how tactically astute their new manager is

He's doing a great job playing the Italian way with a team of Italians. If he can replicate that with Chelsea then he's a great manager, but I wouldn't be surprised if he struggles.

Not really a surprise when you have an inept dummy in charge. Got one point in the world cup group stages and for some bizarre reason was kept on after that.

Lol. There's going out and there's going out with a whimper.

Serves him right for having Kane take the free kicks and corners. Muppet.

To be honest, I`m not surprised. England weren`t very impressing in the first game vs Russia. A little better in the Wales-game, but surprisingly tamed and dull vs Slovakia. Iceland on the other hand have defended themselves like heros all the way and have been extremely well organized.

I never understood why Hodgson got the job in the first place, and I never understood why Rooney was picked, and I really never understood why England didn`t play 4-4-2 with both Kane and Vardy.
Yes, Iceland were extremely well organised. Wrightie or Lee Dixon, I can't remember which, were right in saying that we didn't really have a system.

If we're going English it has to be Hoddle surely?

No, no, no! One of the problems is we go after the so called "experienced" managers and when has it worked? The game has changed and Hoddle is far too and out of touch and this can be heard in the moronic comments he makes when co-commenting.

What we need to do is take a risk and go for someone young and hungry but they just don't have the balls to do it.

Eddie Howe would be a refreshing choice.

Messi and the entire Argentina squad retiring.

Iniesta retiring from Spain

Bet Rooney and Sterling commit their futures to England

Went on redcafe to see what they were saying. Classic from a poster called ekkie thump.

"Proud to be an Englishman tonight. We left nothing on the pitch and you can't fault the effort either. We tried absolutely everything, standing still, looking gormless, falling over the weird round thing - the lot. It just never quite fell for us is all."

At least we've now perfected the art form of becoming the laughing stock of Europe.

Friend who lives in Germany told me there were loud cheers on his street when that result came though.

I'm in Berlin and I heard fireworks outside at the final whistle like after German goals and victories.

Why was Woy continuing letting Kane drown himself by keeping him on those free kicks and corners? Just ridiculous tbh.

Allis ball control and passing worries me sometimes, technique is lacking. Not much different to some of the more experienced players tbf though.

Howe wont take it, he's too young. International football is for experienced managers.
