The England players apparently wanted to go to the Somme but the FA said they needed a rest. Who put them idiots in charge?


He also stated after 2014....

"The next young player who says he does not want to play for England should be ordered to ring the parents of a soldier who has died serving his country in Afghanistan and tell them his reasons."


And this nob is on the TV panel in England, I believe?

Maybe you have one or two points but it doesn't take away from the fact that they're all a bunch of overpaid overvalued molly coddled babies who couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag let alone a 2-1 deficit to Iceland.

I know the Talk sport commentator you are referring to and I've heard his post game rant a few times. It was obviously done because it's his job but it was amusing all the same.

Mark Saggers, just remembered his name.

Maybe England would do better if their country responded to getting the quarter final like this.

:dance

Well done Iceland!!! Worth mentioning that Iceland has a smaller population than most decent sized English cities........ I bet a huge proportion of the population turned up!!

I think being smaller countries, the players and fans are more in touch with their national identities which helps to create a team spirit that can help offset the gap in talent.

Can Wales do it?

I reckon no. I expect a few dirty tricks from the Portuguese, especially Ronaldo.

Why are both teams wearing an away kit?

It looks confusing even in HD.

Nice move. Just a bit too much to do though there for Bale.

A bit of the Teddy Sheringhams about that corner.

Lovely play from Bale. Suckered their man in, then went. Decent strike as well.
