That's the first thing Wilshire has done in about 20 minute. I'd forgotten he was on.

Why are people booing England keeping the ball and looking for options?

There is a reason that chucking it in the mixer doesn't win european championships.

England have clearly underestimated Iceland here. Look at England's first three games. Sure they didn't put teams away but they bossed them comprehensively and didn't let anyone counter them.

Iceland are a tough team but they don't counter that great. It's not like they have a breakaway threat like Bale who England stopped except for Joe Hart who undid his teams good work.

In this game it seems that England are lethargic not secure against the counter. Iceland have had more chances than all of England's 3 group opponents. This has to be down to attitude. They came out disrespectful, scored early and thought this is going to be a fucking stroll.

Now the shit is running down their legs and they are struggling to function.

Yeah, not sure I agree with that. England have just come out and been same old same old, they are absurdly naive tactically. Iceland just happen to be the best team we've played so far. I don't see any sense of taking them lightly?

I am not sure Iceland are better than Wales, who England had pushed back for almost the entire match.

Iceland are quite a way above Wales in my book, I think that's my point - England have played the same in both games, the difference here is Iceland have far better managed to stay in the game and dictate the rhythm.

Alright, we've all had a drink and a laugh, but this is getting silly, now, come on, there's barely ten minutes to go. Come on England, take the party hats off, forget you're "letting them win" like drunken uncles in a back-garden kick-about with the nephews and nieces, and start taking it seriously.

The look at Vardy there from the lino was priceless.

That was nearly it. A poor touch saved England.

They were talking about constant disappointing exits, but somehow he's still surprised about this.

When Iceland lump the ball up the pitch, they lump it up into an empty area and another Icelandic player is the first one there. They lump the ball up the pitch and keep possession at the same time. It's amazing.

Roy has forgotten the third sub.

Hodgson going to use that third sub or nah?

Rashford on.

No hint of desperation about this at all.

I'd have taken Kane off there, the big stiff get.

That is truly fucking shocking.

What a free kick.

Plenty off laugh-out-loud moments from England tonight. It's cheered me right up.

[longeared]

Fucking hell, that free kick would be atrocious in a non league game.

I think the English boys have been instructed by parliament to lose.

We need some different headlines boys, ta.

Whatever the head of the Icelandic football association makes, I hope it's more than John Delaney.
