Still waiting for the unselfish Sturridge to start putting in some work on the field. He'll do something world class to turn this match around I'm sure.

Those english coaches tend to be arrogant and hold down England's undeniable talented youngsters.

At least that's one thing I can't blame DD for. He's meticulous and figures how France can lose against anyone.
At the same time, under him, we CAN lose against anyone :laugh:

It just doesn't make sense.

If you're going to play long ball throw in Vardy or even Rashford and let them sprint.

Or throw long balls at Sterling since running is basically the only thing he can do well.
Wilshere and Milner (also a good chaser) are also better long ball passers than what they have out there now. If they're going to play those tactics they should at least play the right players.

These long ball tactics are so awful. Sturridge rarely breaks into a full sprint these days so I don't know how anyone could expect him to chase down these garbage passes that go way over his head.

If only they had players on the team who excelled with this tactic, guys such as Vardy and Rashford. Unfortunate that they don't.:sarcasm:

Iceland should attack down the middle not the wing, Rooney does nothing defensively.

Also, that ref is ripped

Don't have much hard feeling towards that english squad, lots of young exciting players.

But Iceland is such a great story. How can anyone root against them?

Man Who Thought He'd Lost All Hope Loses Last Additional Bit Of Hope He Didn't Even Know He Still Had

INDIANAPOLIS–Despite assuming that he had lost every last possible ounce of hope long ago, area office-supply coordinator Bob Dempsey, 31, was surprised to discover Monday that he did, in fact, possess one tiny additional shred of hope, which he subsequently lost.

I want England to win, but Iceland overcoming huge odds to go deep into the tournament is such a great story.
