Demoted, not banned. Big difference.
Yeah massive...

I was joking about when I said ban worthy but you seem to be very serious Rex. You didn't actually mean what you said about England did you? Rival banter and all that.Yeah massive...
Yeah I think the Euros expanding is a good thing. Iceland deserve a special mention btw, 320 000 population. Incredable.Small nations rising everywhere!
About time, the international football has been so boring up until now!
I am actually very confident in England's chances for Euros. We are no longer trying to force overrated out of form "superstars" into our first 11 due to their names (with exception of Rooney at moment). The team is full of players technically and creative wise supeiror to previous sides as well as being much faster and more mobile. Another plus is there far less pressure on them this competiton without the overhyped names. This is the best English squad since euro 96.
With Holland, Spain, Italy, Germany on the slide, it looks promising for England.
Kevin Strootman is a big loss for Holland.
Woy will do **** all.Are you kidding? Dreadful England squad atm and will do nothing again at the Euro's after a piss easy qualifying group.
We'll let you have your moment in the spotlight mate. And maybe in 2115 Bale's great great grandson can carry you to another major championship
I'm actually an Englishman living in Wales and i don't feel quite the same animosity towards this country as you do towards England. Still, you'll forever be in our shadow in football and rugby.
Just forget about Wales and England, simply play as Great Britain.
You might actually win something as well.
You're forced to support England, but you'd rather support the UK?Unfortunately.
It's annoying because my passport says "The United Kingdom", but I'm forced to support a team that isn't actually my "country" if that makes sense.
Blind is a terrible appointment indeed, he won't change anything, just continue the same ****. The same players, who are the favourites, keep getting selected no matter how poor they are. Can't believe someone like Bruma, who isn't even a stand-out player in the Dutch league keeps getting selected. Same for Tete, who's played 9 games in the Ajax first team gets called up, it's unbelievable. The team and manager are a perfect fit, though, both without a spine and both without leadership.I only watched the second half of Holland - Iceland, but dear lord, how bad are we? I saw the line-up and the only thing I could think of was: Where have the times gone that we played Bergkamp, Kluivert, Davids, Overmars, Cocu, De Boer, Van der Sar, Stam...
Van der Wiel has no business being in the team, this was his first game in 92 days. He was terrible in possession and gave away a stupid penalty. Martins Indi is a liability. Blind will of course play LB because his dad is the coach, but he's terrible as well. I really only like De Vrij there, he's going to have a good career imo.
Our midfield is too lightweight. Sneijder hasn't been great since what, 5 years? With the exception of a few games now and then. Klaassen a huge talent, but has to play defensive midfielder where he is an attacking one. And those subs.. Why the **** did we bring on Quincy Promes when we need a goal, with Van Persie on the bench? Huntelaar also did nothing in his 40 minute-appearance.
Congratulations to Iceland, and thank you Latvia for giving us some hope to get third place over Turkey. Though that might change next Sunday, can see us losing there easily without Robben.
I've argued at his appointment how bad Blind was, he's done **** all in every position he's been, but it doesn't matter. As long as you've been a good footballer you can become our NT coach. Anyone on A-M want to apply?
Spaking of England, I think they are on the rise. Som very nice talented players in Jack, Sterling, Ox, Theo,.. Add Rooney, Welbeck, Henderson, Clyne, Shaw, Baknes, Hart, etc etc and I believe if all get ready and fit for Euros they can make a mark. Even if not, they are on the rise.
Not sure they have a right coach, but I dont watch it closely so I am not right person to give opinions
