We've wasted yet another 4 years. What had Woy truly achieved at WBA that would merit being the manager of England's National team?
Kept them up, once? That bar is set really high isn't it?
We have foreign managers/coaches & players winning our leagues, you don't have to look too far to find the problem. Britain's modus operandi of outsourcing everything starts to show you how crippled as a country we actually are.
Whom was the last English manager to win the EPL?
Oooops, NO English manager has ever won the Premier League in its 24 year duration.
Now that's something to think about isn't it?

Problem is the FA though isnt it as when they went to search for a foriegn manager they brought us a feffing swede ? and a facist dictator who was great with technical Italians who do as they are told but when youve got the shower off shit that we had or still got ? youre at a loss from the word go !!
The trick for me is to draft the fcukers off to spain italy and Germany to learn how to respect there work !!

Might be a good idea, set up our youth camps using the top European clubs as feeders.

I know players have to use their arms for leverage but he had both arms up above his and the French player's head. As soon as the ball hits it the ref has to give it if he sees it clearly. It's a "scruffy" way to give away a penalty, I agree, and there are plenty of other little things that occur in the area that ref's miss but it doesn't mean the ref shouldn't give them if he sees them.
The "You Are the Ref" refereeing expert did say that a year ago some referees would have given it but under the reclarification of rules which took effect from June 2016, it is 100% not a penalty and all referees at Euro16 should have been aware of this.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Last time France made the final (2000) was courtesy of a dodgy handball penalty decision. It was a penalty that got them to their last World Cup final too come to think of it. Bit of a recurring them there. Is Platini really not pulling strings any more?

People like Platini, Blatter etc. Never really go away, do they? It seems they just have less influence than they once did.

It has to be one of them I suppose. I'd much rather Portugal get their first ever Euro's than the French to get another.
August really can'tcome soon enough.
Ronaldo's done. That's harsh for anyone. The tears though..
