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
