Same old England.

There is no hiding from the fact that Roy Hodgson's side have been utterly woeful. A below-par Euro 2016 in which England scraped through the group stages culminated in one of the worst results in the country's footballing history. And that's saying a f*****g lot. England were outplayed, outrun and outfoxed by European footballing minnows Iceland who have a population the same as Leicester. The tiny island nation were simply better organised and more well-drilled than England with their embarrassment of footballing talent. But former England captain Rio Ferdinand said we should have seen this latest and greatest debacle coming a mile off.
