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

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.

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

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.

...and ridicolous "beau geste" of Pellè before kicking his penalty.....was seen in all over the world......I would like kick him 'til the moon!

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

Only that they've boycotted Iceland and gone to Farm Foods instead.

Where they lost 5-4 on penalties...
