That's the crazy part about this upset- it's not like England was denied by the post, a great goalkeeper, or referee,or Iceland being particularly clinical in their finishing. Iceland simply wasn't conceding many chances and even could have scored more goals. | ||

From looking at the squad of Reykavik FC and seeing that several of their players have been professionals in other scandinavian countries, I assume they're still full time football players. Could very well be that some of their players are semi-professionals though, and probably with other Icelandic teams they might all be semi-professionals, but still. Probably fair to assume that the number of full time professional players they can select their squad from is like,~ 100.  Absolutely fantastic result though lol. Even though I always cheer for England, Iceland is basically Norway's younger brother who refused to change - and I'm loving their success. And England was as disappointing as ever. Rooney in particular was a complete disaster, Kane had a pretty terrible second half as well, and Hodgson deserves plenty of blame for not subbing on Rashford earlier. Guy was instantly dangerous when he came on - 15 minutes more and he might have gotten something done. Obvious exaggeration, but it brings your point across I think  ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/mfPaM86.jpg) On June 28 2016 06:27 Liquid`Drone wrote: same way france deals with strikes lolol In seriousness, I'm pretty certain that in Norway, more than 15% of the population are on vacation at the same time during summer. It's no big deal. And I'm pretty certain that the remaining 85% of the population are not going to work tomorrow anyway. 99% of Icelandic tvs were watching the game vs Austria, prolly even slightly more during this game. Really looked like the entirety of Reykavik was gathered in their large public tv area from what I saw. :D Pretty sure more than 15% of Ile-de-France residents are at the coast between July 14th and August 15th also | ||

Then Nigeria for one year. He was also managing swedish clubs from 77 until 89, and involved with Swedish younger/B national teams from 90 until 2000. Not disputing that he is a dentist by profession from like, the 60-70s, but the past 25 years has been spent managing national teams.. | ||

But continuing to start Sterling, not subbing on Rashford until the 86th, (keeping Rooney on the pitch for 20 minutes even after he made like 3 terrible passes indicating that he was completely drained).. It's like, I totally get using Vardy and Rashford as subs because they are much better against a more tired defense, especially Rashford was just dashing through them like nothing at the end, which he prolly wouldn't have been able to do at first, but why on earth would you wait until the 86th minute to make changes when England had been failing to produce much of anything for a 30 minute period? That's the crazy part about this upset- it's not like England was denied by the post, a great goalkeeper, or referee,or Iceland being particularly clinical in their finishing. Iceland simply wasn't conceding many chances and even could have scored more goals. Yeah, at least Deschamps was not afraid to get rid of a midfielder and bring another forward against lesser teams during the group stage, same for swapping kante out at the half time against Ireland despite him having a decent game. In a knock out stage you should be even less afraid to be ballsy. | ||

Heimir Hallgrímsson (The dentist) and Lagerback. | ||

The England players obviously weren't good enough today, but Hodgson must be blamed for the inexplicable team selection and bizarre (or nonexistent) tactics. | ||

Actually Hodgson earns(ed) more than both of them combined... And more than any of the other coaches on the EURO. Yeah, the guy that told Harry Kane to do the free kicks, instead of waiting for crosses in the box... That guy is the highest paid coach. | ||

 Poor dude must have been devastated ... It's not an upset really, if you look at how England has played during the group stage. They had no clear plan of attack, their key players such as Kane or Alli have been clueless. Rooney did alright in maintaining the pace of the game and making passes around the field but that's about it. It also didn't help when Kane, Alli weren't playing their best, despite being on the field more than any most players. Hart never delivered in the big stage, though I don't think he did a horrible job. So if you judge England just by how they played their games, you could feel that any team left in the competition would be able to give them the boot. And there's Sterling. Both the player and the currency performed like absolute horse shit in the past days. Yet, Roy still used him for most of the match. I guess the donation to send Rahem home never made it to France on time. | ||
