That video of Steve Maclarens face as he watches the second goal go in is a belter.

Steve McLaren's watches the second goal go in

Why does anyone watch the stupid game we may have invented it but we have not been good enough at it for 50 years. it is 25 overpaid yobs chasing a plastic bag full of wind around a field.

I'll do it for 10% less and improve on his record.

Come on Wales !

It's a fact that since 1966, England have won only six games in final tournaments.

Now call an old sceptic, but that tells me it's not all down to the manager and players

Iceland have put in place a 12 year plan to develop football in their country. It included putting heated pitches near to schools (as in England playing fields are being ripped up) and they have 1 top coach to every 825 Icelanders compared to 1 coach in 11,000 for England.

So sorry, Marco, but in all honesty I have never seen both teams struggle with penalties like that
England, yes, but Germany and Italy, no.

It was actually quite comical, and could have gone on longer if Buffon hadn't managed to dive over the last one.

Does anybody know if our travelling circus (probably cruel to circuses actually) of fans behaved themselves afterwards?
