I think he'd have had more of a chance of getting into the England 11 by being the stand-out player of the Championship, rather than Zaha's stand-in at Palace, who look like they're going down next year on recent form.

His head looks too small for his face

Looks like the default FIFA career pro guy

Probably one of the few English players whose value has increased because of the Euros by virtue of not being part of that clusterfuck.

His watch is bigger than his face.

All our kids need a serious kick up the arse and Shearer has that ability in spades. Passion, instant respect - he's legendary amongst English footballers. The Klinsmann effect in Germany for example.

Pretty much, curiously the form and prominence of both teams year by year is fairly accurate, 1996 - England Euros, Keegan NUFC 2nd. Under Bobby we were doing better than England were comparatively, but then we've been relegated twice as well so it evens out.

Vardy comes on, scores 2, Roy's a genius.

Everyone was literally standing still mind, statuesque movement born out a set of players that have no consequences to poor performance as they know Roy will keep picking them anyway. Yup, Rooney included with his glacial speed. Tbh don't know why Roy didn't just turn up to the Euros with 14 players, pointless taking anyone else.

That well-renowned free kick taker that assisted and scored so often for England throughout the qualifiers.

Wilshere: "Kick me in the face, break my nose, now now now!"

Sturridge in 'passes almost to a teammate' shocker

In retrospect if I was the Icelandic manager I'd definitely call up Hathor Bjornsson for the lols. Try contesting a header with him lol.

There must be an echo in here..

Thought he and Rooney were probably the only players who looked decent in the first half for us personally. I think making everything go through Rooney has the whole team hamstrung. He's trying to be a playmaker and he's just not. I'd get on some more selfless players, hell even Milner for Rooney and Lallana for Sturridge and it would be like chalk and cheese.

Put the belly away, Ian.

He looks completely out of his depth this tournament He's doing exactly what he did in the U21 Euros last summer. Not interested in playing in a team mate, just wants to shoot every time he has the ball. Because hes isolated as f*** man how do people keep doing this. He is dropping deep to even get the ball. Makes it all the more nonsensical then that he continues his non stop shooting then Kane shouldnt be dropping deep, Sturridge shouldnt be wide. Sterling shouldnt be playing. How do you score with no striker in the area? Whos meant to score? Its all moronic. Ofcourse we're relying on set pieces and long shots, we are constantly outnumbered inside the box if we even have a striker in there. Also there's literally no movement in the middle when we're on the ball, it's so static and abject I'd swear you could put everyone in black and white stripes and slap a Wonga logo on the front and you'd not bat an eyelid as it looks exactly like it did for us under McClaren.

Why can't our players hit the ball at the goal at all? Literally the whole tournament we've been struggling at this extremely basic thing.

But we've already got 3 strikers on the pitch, and that's our problem, we've got no-one at all who has a clue on how to dictate play and unlock a defense.

Kane and Sturridge in the same mode, absolutely zero clue at bringing others into play. Not good enough to shoot from anywhere for England but time and time again they do it.

Fucking genius Roy Hodgson strikes again, picking players for countering vs a team that will generally sit back. Like the last 3 fucking games. Beyond incompetent. What position is Rooney playing anyway? Thinks he's Pirlo or something.

I really thought that was in.
