Spain just ain’t what it used to be, there’s no chemistry between players, it’s obvious and on top of that you get that “Pedro incident” in the middle of the tournament - it just tells things aren’t right. De Gea was very poor against Croatia, and I was expecting Casillas to step up today, but Del Bosque is certainly a stubborn man, also with Fabregas in the middle, with perhaps some better options on the bench (Koke from Atletico Madrid, also Mata had a great season but wasn’t even called for the squad). Italy showing once again the best spirit and unity of all teams. They’re also very dangerous up front on counters, with Giacherini and Eder. Too bad Germany or Italy will have to pack things for home as soon as quarterfinals. From all we’ve seen, they’re two of the best teams on the tournament.

Is that Icelandic Commentator ready for more over the top screaming. 2 mins to go

OMG England are OUT!!!!

I am so disgusted right now. That was the worst performance I have ever seen by any team.

I think we should be banned from all international competition for the next 5 years.

English Football est mort.

Another Euro Exit, Another boss resigns.

Hodgson steps down.

Players were awful, it’s not all Hodgson’s mistake. I blame him for not having the courage to put 3 strikers up front, with Ronney acting behind 2 classic forwards. Instead, he made up a new position for Rooney (which should be Wilshere’s at first place).

Remain 0 - 2 Leave

Seriously .. I didn’t knew the English was that eager to leave Europe.

Roy Hodgson should be the next British prime minister, as he is the only man in England with a coherent plan for leaving Europe.

The people have spoken and England’s footballers are listening.

Actually, it’s only the second match where they showed that. There was none of it vs Sweden and vs Ireland, imo. Especially the Sweden match was piss-poor.

Iceland wins for best spirit and unity of all teams, imo.

Come on England. That is really sad!

They moved on the pitch like a bunch of geriatrics. Worst team performance of all the matches in the tournament, imo. I don’t get how they were even worse in the second half.

Instead of waiting for his resignation after the match, the FA should’ve sacked Hodgson in the 55th minute for still not having brought on Vardy, who should’ve been a starter.
I don’t get how you qualify with 30/30 playing 4-4-2 and then for no reason whatsoever play 4-3-3 in the final tournament, and leaving the in-form striker on the bench. And still playing Rooney who is far too bad as a striker nowadays, and lacks creativity to be a decent playmaker in midfield.

And then Hodgson waits until the 87th minute to bring in Rashford. He had a full 6 minutes to liven up the match. It’s almost like England WANTED to lose. Vardy and Rashford were the only two that did any running in the entire second half.

And in the meantime, Iceland were defending solidly (that tackle in the box by Sigurdsson on Vardy was a thing of beauty!). Well-deserved win.

Top notch defending!

Sweden, no matter how poor they played here, is a very stubborn, hard team to crack, almost like Iceland (albeit with a longer and better tradition). Italy was nervous, yes, it was a second match in the group and anything could still happen, yet they still managed to win 1:0. Against Ireland it didn’t matter any more, they were cemented first in the group, and when you offer holiday to Italian, he’ll hardly refuse.

Sigthorsson
Sigurdsson
Hodgson
