Hodgson: "I'm comfortable that, whatever way we want to play, we'll be covered. Systems wins you nothing. Football players win you games."

McManaman on comms is livid. Worst display he's ever seen from an England team. Not sure about that but it's a contender.

Rashford looked more deadly in the 3 minutes he was given than anyone else in this match.

Iceland deserved it.

Rashford had more energy and guts in his pathetically short cameo than the rest of them put together.

Think the solution is to put all of the lazy, feckless wankers on £500 a week.

One small consolation is that the Icelanders will give the Frogs a fright, oh and that our banks aren't quite as **** as theirs

We will be fine when teams come onto us in the knockout stages as they have to they said.

That turned out well, we played at our level which is poor.

Bye Woy.

Most damning thing is that I can't think of a serious chance in the 2nd half.

With a result like that what usually happens is a combination of one or more of the following:

opposition goalie has the game of his life
opposition defence defend like warriors and block absolutely everything
all your players have a collective mare in front of goal and proceed to miss everything.

That didn't happen, Iceland were comfortable.

I've seen a few over the years, and I'd have to say that McManaman's spot on. Maybe the loss to Norway in 1981 is the absolute worst ever, but I'm struggling to think of many others as bad as this.
And it isn't about a lack of respect for today's opponents. It's simply an objective assessment of what we saw tonight, and the complete lack of quality in all departments.
