European Championship 2016

Hoddle? Magic player back in the day. Certainly had vision and ability by the bucket load.

He messed up his last job at Wolves way back 2006. Way out of touch.

I still think that overlooking Gary Neville would be a mistake. Paolo Di Canio could maybe do a job there.

I loved Paulo, can't remember the quote exactly but he said something like " Am i wining I don't know, all I know is I am always fighting". Could do with that kind of heart right now. Anything is better than the other kind of Hart.

Yes, Paulo di Canio .... It's just what we need in Britain right now. Yet another posturing delusional quasi fascist in the public eye or washing all over social media

Sorry, was the mention of Gary Neville not enough to indicate that my last post was laced with a strong dose of ?

As an aside though, I do like the crazy Italian, and the fact that he always had such a bond with the fans made him popular in most places he went.

What about Tim Sherwood?

What about Tim Sherwood?

Way too inexperienced for the job, he would be slaughtered.

I would not mind Southgate/Shearer/Gazza/Waddle partnership with Venables/Hoddle playing a supporting role.

Graham Taylor is out of work I hear. Or Steve McClaren.

Absolutely fucking priceless ! It made me search for one of his first interviews with a Dutch reporter when he took over at FC Twente. Fuuur shuuuuuurrrr!

Everyone is harsh on england I think, they just don't have that good of a squad right now. The "golden generation" of terry, lampard and gerrard(:S) has fairly recently departed and now they are just a bit between era, they just need their young and inexperienced players to keep at it and get more experience. Although the way the press and fans beat em up it could be hard for england to develop properly, there seems to be a lot of unnecessary pressure following the team always.. The squad was one of the weakest for england for quite a while and it didn't work out for them. No need to crucify them.

Iceland are also way better than people seem to be giving them credit for, they were 25th in the world last year, which is not great but it's not like it's a bunch of fishermen england lost to. They finished ahead of the dutch and turkey in their qualifying group, and then beat austria and finished ahead of portugal in the group stage :S.... Lars Lagerback is also a very experienced manager. Good work from iceland, this team has been coming for a while, I remember back in 2010 their under 21 team gave scotland a going over in the qualifiers for some under 21 competition( i think european)... it is icelands golden generation right now and hats off to them.

Quite right about Iceland, but what did England's "Golden Generation" ever do? They're probably more of a disappointment than this lot.

I agree that time was more disappointing for england fans(but not me :S)

I do think they were a bit unfortunate in 2004 though, if rooney hadn't broke his foot and urs meier didnt disallow the goal they could well have progressed v portugal and had a good chance of going on to win it... of course "If ifs and buts were candies and nuts we'd all have a merry Christmas"... Funny how it was big phil scolari who put england out three tournaments in a row too ..


1-1 goal for wales

The squad is not brilliant but its not shit either - and even a mediocre team can be organised and show some fight.

I am not bitter but hope the Welsh get battered today.
