Football (Soccer)

As usual, watching an England match is a painful experience - when will I ever learn?  I persuaded the barman in the AA lounge at LAX to put the footie on (flight to Vegas delayed couple of hours) and am beginning to regret it…

::)

Well at least you got.a full bar to get you through the second half!

[rocket]

yeah heads up and now go go Iceland, ups I mean England  ::)  

[Giles]

As I just said on the dreaded FB:

I'm not that worried. If we lose, I'm sure there will be some twat who starts a petition for a rematch…

[rocket]

or check if they have a Irish background, oh wait they are out as well…

[Giles]

I have turned the TV off.  I can't bear to watch the post match analysis…....

[Cole]

I say it again. I C E L A N D. Looking forward to hear the moderator this time, after he allmost lost his voice last time.

Unbelievable! Many Congrats to Iceland!

Seriously what England needs is a good manager. They have great players but that's about it.

@van:

BREXIT 

We'll have to beat Wales on Friday to complete the BREXIT.

That was basically everything that's great about football vs. everything that's wrong with it.  Congrats Iceland, you totally earned that.

Well done Iceland.

England were bereft of ideas. It was like watching a Sunday league pub team, still half pissed from the night before. Embarrassing.

There are two good things to come out of this though.
(1). Hodgson fell on his sword. And quite rightly so.
(2). The FA will save a few quid on hotel bills.

3. And like most other recent World Cups and Euro's, I have my life back again sooner rather than later….

[spitfiredealer]

God they were awful 2nd half.

It's weird I am ok with them going out like that to Iceland. They didn't deserve to go through.
If we had of lost on penalties to Germany I would of been seething but this I am cool with.

@spitfiredealer
I am also of the same mind. If we had played a blinder, & lost, I would be gutted.
However, we got beat by a better team, whilst playing shite. I have no complaints.
C'mon Wales. If they don't progress, c'mon T.P.D's. (I was born very close to M'gladbach).

@Giles

I never took you for a footie fan.

[Giles]

I'm not. But that does not mean I don't watch important games….

[Max Power]

[louisbosco]

such disappointment. yet again.

[Megatron1505]

England have been shit for 50 years, I'm not surprised at all.

Italy still looking strong, and I still think they'll win it.
