Euro 2016 - hype, anticipation and general excitement

England ALWAYS have easy qualifying groups, 'Wrighty'.

Basically only saw the 2nd half, and England were fucking abysmal.

Crouchy otm, Iceland looked solid.

out of Europe twice within a week etc

Baker calling Crouchy a "lanky ponce" now

Iceland were superior in the first half

Maybe Boris could be PM and manager of the England football team at the same time. Then we'd definitely be rid of him after six months.

omg ITV fuck off now

I heard England got sson'd

Analysis on Dutch telly completely in line with LG's comments: England played with ten men, because they somehow brute force Rooney into the squad, even in completely useless position.

'we knew that we had a good chance of beating them' :D :D :D

Poor old Roy.

Oh, not another resignation by an honourable, decent man.

Woy resigns with a short statement and no questions after...deja vu etc etc

BREAKING NEWS

new manager must be somebody who doesn't want to play in Europe

Time for a female manager?

LOL where are they getting those odds?

Wayne Rooney player-manager imo

lol brendan rodgers 16-1

brillant result, my heart is already broken for Iceland vs France

say what you want about Rooney as manager but he is an experienced head who needs to be fitted into the team somehow

great clip of the Iceland players celebrating with fans https://streamable.com/pioh

Marcus Rashford dribbled past 3 players against Iceland. No player on the pitch managed more. #ENG #MUFC

Says something incredible that that speech looked to have been prepared.

about the only preparation they did for this tournament

Claiming it was written after game.

More like during the game. (xp)

If they're just going to go ahead and appoint Southgate or Pards idk why Allardyce couldn't be in the mix.

Allardyce would at least have the good grace to give Andy Carroll a call-up.

This is beyond belief too. "They've tried experienced people and it didn't work."

Shearer get tae fuck

After 10+ years of living here it still amazes me how quickly England supporters switch from confident bragging to self-loathing. By the end of the game tonight, half the crowd were cheering for Iceland.

(in the pub where I was)

the reasons for that attitude are extremely well-documented and not particularly hard to parse instinctively parse imo but I'm far too inarticulate to tap them all out onto a broken smart phone while in my drunken stupor

We all want to support the team at heart, but circumstances conspire against us

I should proofread, that was a disaster

The arrogance is bcuz ppl can't help but fall for the narratives of hope spun by the media in the build up to these things, the hatred is simply the self-loathing that kicks in once hope is lost and you realise that you've been had, again

We can all play it cool on an Internet messageboard but a few weeks ago I was on here crowing after 45 minutes of the England-Russia game and I daresay in 2 years I'll be back again

All very positive but worth bearing in mind that Russia are pish.

I did try to temper your enthusiasm. Like the dour Scottish bastard I am.

how on earth is gareth southgate the leading candidate here?

There's no point paying the England manager a lot of money at this point
