Lionel Messi: Argentina forward retires from international football

Can we have him?

How many shots did the Iceland goalkeeper have to deal with in the second half? At the moment I can't remember one.

if only he was 32feet tall..such a shame these goal posts are so small

I knew we weren't going to win the damn thing but we could've bowed out gracefully on Saturday against the hosts and everyone would've been happy.

Alan Pardew

Maybe a "foreigner" for the next manager? It hasn't done the Rugby Union team any harm having one!

Don't even think about Ranieri

Been watching football for about 30 years now and I've not seen as poor a performance from any of the teams I support and that includes Shrewsbury Town!

Spineless, gutless, no pattern, plan or ideas.

Still, the overpaid prima donna's return to earning 200k per week for doing sod all soon

 

[gavgav]

This has seriously put me off football! It's so frustrating watching some vastly overpaid player pass to someone, then the one who receives the ball totally cocks it up. We could've been there till midnight and not scored!

Stick to the lower leagues, much more fun! Give me Shrewsbury Town over that lot any day

Still, the overpaid prima donna's return to earning 200k per week for doing sod all soon

You wonder if that is maybe on their minds when playing at tournaments like this, and time is running out for them to fit in a holiday before pre-season training starts again - "Sod this; if we beat Iceland then we're stuck here in France for at least another 5 days. If we lose then I could be lying on a beach in the Seychelles with my wife/GF in 2 days time". I know it shouldn't be a factor, and that playing for pride should put paid to anything else; but from that performance tonight you have to wonder.

England and foreign managers hasn't worked, I like Pardew but I think he is too controversial for the FA...

Controversial in what way?

Maybe a "foreigner" for the next manager? It hasn't done the Rugby Union team any harm having one!

Presumably not one of those dole sponging immigrant foreigners?
