So who are you actually complaining about then if its not the bookies or the manager?
What point are you actually making about England being favourites? What influence does this actually have to anything in reality?
I also said the bookies were generally right. If they were 100% correct there would be no gambling market and indeed no point in sport taking place at all if all outcomes were always certain.
You are suggesting England should go into a game against a country like Iceland with the mentality of not winning, that is frankly stupid. Not Ali and The Rock being on the same level type of stupid but still up there.
