Maybe we should start considering picking players from the lower half of the Premier League and the Championship as well* - seems to be working for Wales, Iceland, N Ireland, Ireland, instead of only going for players from the top and CL clubs.
*and play them, in their best postitions - if you have two very good players for one position, then pick one, and don't pick the other and play him out of position.

I support all the home nations, and the Rep of Ireland, and would be pleased for any of them to win.
Commiserations to you as you must have been as hacked as those in the studio ( and listening to them is quite funny when this is 'normal service resumed' from England) ...... you have not had a lot to celebrate over the past 50 years.
Crouch said it was due to the pressure, but there was no pressure against Slovakia and England were also awful and clueless offensively in that match. It's surely more to do with the game plan than the pressure.

Post of the thread.
Interesting point made on RTE there; Leicester City, Iceland, Atletico Madrid - no stars, but great TEAMS.

That is the exact arrogance that sets us up for defeats like this. Iceland deserve to be there. Leicester City proved what you can do with a well setup team of players who work together and know their roles.
We had none of that.”

Losing to Iceland is shocking considering their population.
Iceland played well don't get me wrong but Hodgson and the players should remember this for the rest of their lives. Total humiliation that will make them a farce in the international level for years to come.

He is going to be out of a job by October

In fairness to Southgate he did just win the Toulon tournament.

Crouch is talking out of his rear end - they'll probably be in a hurry to get back to the hotel and start playing with their gadgets and stuff!
What a dismal night of England failure.
Roy has resigned. Didn't waste any time did he. Wonder if he's been thinking of going before this game. Looks like he's reading a statement.
Iceland looked like the fitter side and more importantly, played as a team. You could see that one on one, the English players were technically a lot better - but that's was it.
It's not that England were playing badly - they just came up against a team who could somehow manage a strong defence as soon as they got the ball near the goal, and England failed to get around that. That's a tough thing for any team to come up against.

Isn't Rodgers a bit busy you know with Celtic??
"Young hungry talented"
Then why you ****** do you play them out of position.?
P8ss off Roy.
Again Roy your contempt shines through

Slight shock as England were favourites in most people's eyes in this match (across Europe - not just in England) but you are right in that it's not as if Gibraltar just beat Germany. Iceland are a lot better than some of the commentators are making out. Far above San Marino and the like, and England aren't at the top level either, so the media that try to ramp up the hype should maybe get their expectations under control.
Quick resignation from Roy.

That'd be literally nobody. Please at least learn how his name is spelt, you've had enough practice.
