It's more than just Hart even though he'll be the fall guy. It's just too easy for Iceland to create good chances. A better side will do even more damage.
Well we will never know for sure, as we will not play a better team at this tournament at this rate.

How often will we be saying this, I hope that you have this ready to copy and paste for the rest of the match.

What happened to "They'll sit back"?

They aren't and we're doing **** all!
The problem we have now is by letting them take the lead they can afford to sit back whilst we try to get a goal back and then hit us on the break at their leisure.

Joe "Butterfingers" Hart.

Fraser Forster must be praying for Hodgson to die or get sacked, why does he not give him a game?

True enough.

Maybe I'm plucking at straws but you can't think Iceland can maintain this level of pressing and harrying for 90 minutes.

People need to calm down. This was always going to be a tough game. We'll get through this in the end.

He is class for City when they won the leagues, it is odd.
Not odd at all!
He's just another player who cannot play his best at this level.
No matter what the result of this match is, he's droped two appaling clangers in 3 and a half games. He should never play at this level again!

Iceland are only a slightly better version of Northern Ireland.

we need to get this to 2-2 before the break then we can re-group...
Even 2-1 down might be okay. It's more important not to concede a third.

I wonder how much money you would have had pre-tournament if you had said Wales would be the last home nation standing??

Why the hell are we playing possession football as if we are winning when we need to be attacking directly and creating chances?

England can maintain the boring sideways passing with no invention or creativity though.

How can we be calm ? We have all experienced this so many times with England.

He's right. The defence struggles as it is without a weak goalkeeper added to the mix.
Yes, Hart has been good for England and Manchester City in the past but he certainly isn't untouchable and with Fraser Forster on the bench I think Hodgson should have real questions about whether to continue with Hart's run at major tournaments.

England voted for Exit. The football team are just delivering.
Shame that didn't apply when Wales beat Norn Iron

England struggle to score from open play and really open up a defence to create clear cut chances.

It is Butland that should be our number one, with Forster his back up, Hart should be no way near the first team.
