brilliant to see them blunt the'might' of Ronaldo and it is super to see a long lost footballing country back in Hungary heading the group. Will Christiano spit his dummy?

Ronaldo is a great player but a cock... his comments about Iceland were mean spirited, unsportsmanlike and disrespectful... like a child not getting his way, like he has a divine right to win.

Ok I know Italy were through already but if you want to see a class act after a defeat especially... I give you Gianluigi Buffon vs our lot at the final whistle last night and his reaction.

On that note i'm wondering why I'm so hungover almost 24 hours later.... I'd normally blame myself but this one is on Robbie Brady :mrgreen: :Hoorah

Appalling performance from England but let's not take it away from Iceland they played a brilliant game of football,tactical perfection they made us look like idiots....I would rather give the well deserved praise to Iceland rather than mock a hopeless mess that is England....up the Welsh

Helen, going into this tournament with those two Spurs lads as the fullbacks... Well it was always doomed to failure wasn't it... Having said that Joe Hart.... Hmmmmm.

the Italian side are considered to be one of if not the worst Italian side ever. But it's clear that they have great tactical awareness and work their arses off and have really impressed me so far. Iceland have the same qualities and for anyone to beat a side like that you have to work as hard as them, match their intensity and then hope that your better qualities will win through. Just looking from the outside in here but you don't get the impression that the English guys work hard enough for each other and were out fought and out ran by Iceland. Incidently I have an Icelandic friend who works in the Whale Watching business, they don't win much so I kinda have to be happy for her and them,

Well I worked with John Grant a bit this year and Petur and Jakob from the band are Icelandic and are very happy so I'm happy cos we certainly didn't deserve anything but defeat....teams win not individuals....Portugal are a good example historically but seem to be pulling it round

I am always a bit of an Italy fan but they have been super. They attack in numbers then manage to get ,8 men behind the ball when they are defending. They are so fluid. The level that they and Spain played at yesterday was a million miles from England

All credit to Iceland. ..> With England it's the same every tournament, they just don't seem up for it!
Up to the penalty it looked very promising but then after Rooney scored said penalty, it was almost as
if it was a case of "job done!"

Good luck to Iceland and if France don't turn up in the 1st half, as they haven't done in the past, then
it could all be over by halftime.

Now having an Icelandic parent company, at least I still have a job! :P

I prefer the Spanish anthem: No pompous patriotic lyrics, just music.
