England Euro 2016

[J Sid]

whats shocked me more is Englands record in knockout tournaments

This is ridicules.

England have only won 6 games in knockout football since 1966:
Paraguay 1986
Belgium 1990
Cameroon 1990
Spain 1996
Denmark 2002
Ecuador 2006

which begs the question, why do they both entering?

Millionaires by their early twenties, no wonder that they are not bothered. Too much money and not enough hunger or desire. Also lacking in technical ability. A lot of the blame should lay at the Blazers at the FA.

Sometimes you think the managers are too loyal to these players.
This time there were too many players not ready (fit or at the top of their game) or not regulars in their premier league teams.
Tactics were questionable ( Kane taking corners, resting 6 players for game 3).
Lots of questions.

The players are picked on how popular the FA think the england shirt sales will be ,it is a business after all its why they pick yes men for the managers job

i know its probably been said before, but they should have appointed Cloughie all those years back, agree we seem to appoint the yes men all the time, southgate next........good lord.....

rather see someone like Eddie Howe myself.

Looks like Southgate has said no to the job. Lucky escape. Always thought he was a bit wet behind the ears!

Congrats to Wales on Friday.
Commiserations to Italy but they threw it away with some of the worst penalties I've seen.
