If you'd said before the tournament that England would have done as well as Spain, no one would have believed you.........

No, attack were pretty good. You might be suffering amnesia as everyone was saying after the Italy game the attack was great and its something we'd never seen in an England side for ages. Last night and the Italy game, the defence and midfield were the problem, not the attack.

The Kevin Bacon advert - I wonder if that boy has opened his eyes yet

England weren't abysmal getting knocked out against Germany in 2014.
But being knocked out after two matches is. |

Has Alex Salmond used England's elimination as ammunition for the "Yes To Independence" campaign yet? |

That won't be another disappointment.
Surprising how AM is rated in the UK media. He's crap. One lucky result.

Roy Hodson has to be one of the worst managers to coach england.

Its the first time since 1986 england failed to qualify for the knockout stage, I'm surprised Roy Hodson has survived for this long.

Rubbish England deserved to be knocked out to be honest. The Premiership might be the best league in the world but it's not because of the English players. It has killed the national game and will continue to do so or the decades ahead.

2006 world cup- England get to Quarter Finals, 2010 they get to 2nd round and 2014 out in group stages, things seem to be getting worse for them

We reached the quarter finals in 86. |

Tactics were wrong in my opinion.

Even Sven, Hoddle or Capello would likely not have qualified from this group with this set of England players. They might have, but then again Hodgeson may have if Rooney's header against the woodwork vs Uruguay went in for example, but it's a game of fine margins.

Roy Hodgson deserves to get eggs and shoes thrown at him when he returns to england, I'd be the first in the que to have my bucket full of eggs all ready. Rooney is a talented player and he plays rooney on the left??? what a joke, he should of been playing in the middle not the left. The defensive organization was complete a joke in the contrary to the sophisticated organization of Italy and Uruguay.

So what is it going to be? Lots complain about Rooney being on the left and lots of others complain about him being moved to the middle. Fact of the matter is that the team performed best in the match when he was on the left but he played better in the middle. So its a fine balance to strike. And Italy and Uruguay aren't particularly sophisticated defensively. It's just that English football has a kick and rush culture that is too easy for experienced players to defend against. |

I thought before the tournament started England wouldn't get out of the group.

I have watched all the games up to now and what I could see is that most teams played with fire and passion , that did not seem to happen with England , I feel gutted for my English Grand children

IF I am honest, It will be a much better tournament now England are out. I have got to the point where I see the England flag and I see failure.
