Watch Iceland give France a game - I would expect the French to win but they are pours at the back, just like England.
Let's give them another tournement donee we write them off

Wilderness years for England now fans lost interest, players do not care, lack of credible managers and next up a qualification campaign for a tournament nobody with an ounce of sense would be interested in travelling to

Whatever, he has gone now, I am not a youngster and have seen many disappointments in sport, but I really am struggling to beat tonight's, its not the losing and going out of the competition, I can handle that, its how they did (or didn't) it, truly shocking, and do you know what, I feel so much for all the people who have paid out a vast amount of money to go and see this lack of passion.

Too much money, not enough hunger and a belief that they are better than they are. We'd be no worse playing third and fourth division players in the national team.

Poor?
Spain won the European Championships in 2008 and 2012, and the World Cup in 2010.
I looked up the Faroe Island results, they lost 8 out of 10 in Euro 2016 qualifying, 9 out of 10 WC 2014, 8 out of 10 Euro 2012, 8 out of 10 in WC 2010, and 12 out of 12 in Euro 2008.
So your team first mentality in last ten years delivered 45 defeats in 52 games.

Ever the optimist, Mark's probably already moved on and is looking forward to England's World Cup 2018 home and away qualifiers.
He and the other diehards deserve so much more than they get back for their troubles following England.
I hope they get some decent sightseeing in before returning since there wasn't much worth watching this evening.

He's enjoying himself and you're being a t**t. This is an Albion forum, not an England forum. Go boo in the corner if you're really that bothered about the performance of that shower of sh1te.

Statement from The Football Association:
Like the nation, we are disappointed to lose this evening and that our run in Euro 2016 has come to a premature end. We had high hopes of progressing through to the latter stages of the competition and accept that we have not met our own expectations or those of the country.
We back Roy Hodgson’s decision to step down as England manager and will discuss next steps imminently.
For now, we congratulate Iceland for reaching the quarter final and wish them well against France at the weekend.
Finally, our sincere thanks go to the travelling fans for their incredible support tonight and to everyone back home for getting behind the team.

Unfortunately they get exactly what they deserve. If they stopped going to every England game for a couple of seasons, blindly following perennial underachievers, maybe the English players would start focusing on their skills instead of the bling.

Trying to find the word(s)....abject? Risible? Incompetent?
I think I will go with shite, after much soul Searching
Top half of the Championship would fancy themselves against Iceland (and Hungary, both Iirish teams etc). Long throw? A freaking long throw ffs! Wtf are those guys doing instead of preparing to face their next opponents.
Woeful...oh I quite like that. Maybe I'll go with woeful instead of shite...
