@@odsonneedouard2253 henry used to take corners tbf

i've seen toilet brushes that could've whipped in a better free kick than harry kane in france

Neville is a shit coach, Hodgson out of his depth, Rooney in midfield & Kane on corners. Lol

Everyone. Literally every single English football supporter looked at the screen in aguish when we saw an England corner. Every single corner that was taken was a waste and we all knew that if Harry Kane was in the box we'd have converted so many more. Anyone can ping a ball onto the penalty spot for a big CB to get his big slab head on it. Literally even I can do that 10/10 times. Such a bloody waste. You can't tell me that there was a unanimous agreement in the England camp on the decision for Harry Kane to take corners. I'm not understating it when I say that he was without a shadow of a doubt the WORST player to take a corner. I'd have preferred Joe Hart to take them.

One header against tunisa is hardly every corner..

Adrian 1977 Kearney it is dumb to take away a box threat but you definitely can’t just have “anyone else take it”, you still need a good corner taker. In Rooneys case, he wasn’t the best at headers and he was pretty good at whipping in a corner.

@Adrian 1977 Kearney you're totally right, take into account Van persie and Rooney were more all around players, so they have the ability to take a corner properly and set up the play, though Kare is a pure 9 which make that decision nonsense. England coaches are horrible. The one's in charge of the national team tho

No. Y'all are stupid if you genuinely think it matters which professional footballer takes a corner. Any of them can swing it in. All that matters is that they're not preferred elsewhere. I can hit the penalty spot every single time, and I can swing it in or out. You telling me i'm better than some professional footballers at taking corners? I'm pretty sure you'd all rather Kyle Walker swing it in than me. Pretty sure Harry Kane failed to beat the first man a couple of times as well. Maybe Beckham set the bar too high.

I don't know why people keep saying Iceland was as much underdog as countries like, for example, Northern Ireland or Austria. Especially for England fans, they felt so much humiliated. Yes England were bigger, better team, but remember Iceland were dominant in qualifiers, and for sure they would pass group stage in Euro cup. Iceland would give a very strong performance either way.. And you are saying like they didn't have star players, they did though, Sigþórsson, Sigurðsson, Guðmundsson to name a few

@@andrenapitupulu9499 Iceland has 300,000 people. England has 50,000,000. England has always been quite bad (in every sport) despite their population where they usually aren't much better than their tiny Celtic neighbours. The 3 best players ever produced from the British Isles don't come from England.

Tony H There’s no such thing as the British isles

@@tonyh7994 Doesn't make sense. No direct correlation between population and football team. If a country have 23 stars, then they are a strong team, just it.

@Eryk Zagozda They are looking down on Icelander football team, and that probably will go forever

Spot on mate. Couldn’t be more right. England had themselves lifting the cup before they got their kit on that night.

Yea I remember watching the game and it was so satisfying for a non England fan because I just remember the commentator saying before the game, “Lets face it, England are going to win” Never go into a game with that sort of mentality or youll get caught out, and thats what happened to England. But they were also really shit

@@PavelDurov21 Lol they didn't have themselves winning the cup, they had themselves beating Iceland though.

Yep exactly. Sometimes it's written in the stars for teams. Happens all the time for the minnows of the FA cup/Carabaro Cup. Iceland done pretty well at that tournament. Not a huge fan of the belief some people had that England should have steamrolled them. Media hype would have most believing that.

Iceland were strong, they dominated in Euro qualifiers, beating Turkey and Netherlands, and they would be 1st if they didn't mess up against Latvia. Also they had like 3 star players... And guess nobody mentioned that Croatia went to WC final despite ranked 2nd in qualifiers, below Iceland. Well, despite anything, Iceland will always be considered underdog by media, and that's kinda a good strategy maybe

LOL

GGMU FC he’s usual good on free kicks but god why was he on corners😂

This was peak banter era of England - it's nice to see that things look to be trending upwards for them!

Harry kane in net would of topped on how shambolic that world cup campaign was.

Could you pick your current 25man squad?

Gazza had no discipline and was unfit in 1998. That was why Rangers let him go. Sven was OK as the England manager.

I rated this comment so highly until you mentioned John Terry. Have off it, you mug

@@Gsdizzle19 i think everyone can

@football memes But not for England, for Chelsea absolutely

Loooool😂😂😂😂😂

Knowing Ronaldo he'd score direct from them

Ronaldo did take corners at United, used to take them for Portugal, too...

He used to take them 16 years ago when portugal could afford too . Portugal 2 goal against Netherlands in euro 2004 , Ronaldo assisted the player by taking a corner .

@@DiogoSilva-lf2oc A 19yr old Ronaldo did, just starting out. Massive difference, and irrelevant. Prime Ronaldo is nowhere near the corner flag during a corner. He's at the end of the cross 2.5m up in the air, leaping like a salmon.

That sounds very familiar!

Now where have I heard that before.

Tony H I really feel like we can win big in the next 10-15 years I’m sure other national teams are worrying about our excellent youth development

@@M-A_04 Now you're just trolling haha

Tony H I’m actually not and when u said you’ve heard this before, I have no idea what u meant honestly can u explain?

We've got quite a tough group at the euros next summer, having Croatia, Czech republic and then likely Norway/Serbia. It will be much harder than playing against Tunisia and Panama lol. We then may have to face either France/Germany/Portugal in the round of 16 if we win the group. Its gonna be quite tricky tbh, I'm a bit worried about us defensively.

You deserved the win. We were absolutely crap.

I remember watching it and was gutted we lost. But I could see how much it meant to the Iceland guys, and the fans were awesome. And yeah you guys were the better side. 🇮🇸

Stay proud, well earned victory!!

@@Gcalt The True Geordie's Football Hangover video on the match was legendary too. Back before he whored himself out to Ladbrokes and started making shit content.

English Stacey shush

I lost hope when in an interview Roy said Daniel Sturidge was on fire in training. Proceeds to leave him on the bench...

@@jamiemidge4983 Yeah & Vardy too, instead playing Kane who looked exhausted from playing in a very intense pressing Spurs team. Still don't know why we didnt play a diamond with 2 strikers. Thank God that incompetent owl is gone

This is why fans have connected so much with that line: "Looking back to when we first met, I cannot escape and I cannot forget"

Now look at us

Everyone in Europe enjoyed it, except english people of course

Still an overrated team. Don't look at result of last WC because that easy route to next rounds will not happen everytime

Still overrated af

We will get there again, dont worry

I love how england live rent free in everyone's heads

lmao they are still bad, 2018 was pure luck, they defeated Panama and Tunisia (last minute penalty lol) and then won against colombia on penalties and Sweden....they face two good teams, they lost 3 times (Belgium x2, Croatia) They cant compare to France, Spain, Germany

Booo

Connor Slatter not to mention coming 3rd in the nations! Bigger things are coming

Stanley Smith Damn right 💪

Roland Deschain keep dreaming pal

@@godsaveenglandfromthebriti2865 Yeah, i take that back from the line up, hes energetic which i feel england plays best with players like that, but id be more than happy switching him for an engine type player.

Excellent analysis

I disagree with that analysis

@@elite4370 give us your analysis then

Thanks Michael Owen

Naw dude.. its gone ta ROME

@@godsaveenglandfromthebriti2865 Awb in a back 3 is interesting, I like it

Yunus Shaikh Harry redknapp, England manger. Lol. Harry, is good at keeping sides from the drop, he’s got no European experience to fall back on. He would be a disaster like Hodgson or Allardyce.

The 3 best British players of all time are a Welsh man, a Northern Irish man and a Scot. England struggle to produce top talent even in other sports.

Tell that to the Greek team that won the Euro 2004. Teams and tactics win, individuals fall. England managers never set a team out with a winning tactic and then picked players to suit that tactic. It was always picking players, then trying to shoe-horn a tactic to fit those individuals. And in part it wasn't the managers' fault, if they didn't pick this star or that star, then the press would villify them when the team had a poor performance. Even at club level, there aren't that many games for everyone to be patient for the manager to bed in a tactic, so it's unrealistic for this to happen at country, where there was even fewer games. So, managers had to hit the first game winning, so they ended up having to pick the best players to win, and win well immediately (probably why we tended to qualify quite well but did bugger all at tournaments). When in fact, the more successful countries gave some time and go with trying to get their team to play with a cohesive tactic.

The Germans- we don`t need great ones(big egos) we need good players who make a great team.....but actually each nation plays football according to its own philosophy, the choice of yours.

Good point. England need to do that.

real madrid barca rivalry is the most intense hatred Ive ever seen on a football pitch, i dont think any of the english clubs have the same hatred.

@@MrAlumrocky Clearly they are able to put it aside for Spain, when Barca Madrid hatred was highest from 2008-13 they won 3 major tournaments

Also because basically the whole Spanish team is Madrid / Barca - well it was for when they were good. The players were so used to each orher

@@MrAlumrocky England darbys are much worse

You deserved it you played very well. Shame you seemed to run out of steam in the quarter-final but at least you got there.

Hard work and discipline it was inspiring and that was just the fans!

Luck greenwood wasn’t playing

Fair play mate. England are pretty much giants in the global game. Maybe just outside the biggest teams but a huge nation so that was one massive achievement by your lads.

Ruben Modare ahahahaha lucky Shearer wasn’t playing haha

@DillyDyson007 Add Micah Richards to that list. And Danny Murphy.

Then you've never heard Jose Mourinho

Politicians?

Reid McEvoy disagree there buddy. Jose is a gift to football in that sense. If you’d have said Pep I’d understand.

You mispelt Jurgen klopo

In 2016 the press didn't build england up though. Nor was there any criticism or articles to distract players. Surprisingly the press haven't been an issue for 2016 or 2018. The failure at euro 16 was entirely due to Hodgson and that bumbling overrated clown Harry Kane

WOOOPdoctorFROGhere i don’t know where you were in 2016 then.

@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere it was Hodgson's fault no doubt but the press absolutely built England up as well beforehand. They would not shut up about England's 100% record in qualifying even though it was probably the easiest qualifying group I have ever seen.

@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere Kane is not overrated, you're only saying that cause he was most remembered for his abysmal corner taking

@@martymcfly5528 did they bollocks. Get your head out of the bin. Muppets like Lineker would repeatedly ask his pals the rhetorical nonsense of "does the fact that there's no expectation on this England side mean they might not feels as much pressure". England's atrocious world cup 2014 campaign meant that expectations at the Euro were at an all time low. There was no pressure on that England team and they still bottled it.

😂 belter

The country is still in Europe.

@@BobBobOnRU-vid I don't think you understood what was meant by it lol

@@swaglad9728 Ofc he does. What most people don't understand is that the UK are still in Europe, they're just not in the Union.

English Stacey it worked

I honestly just thought Iceland played well. I didn't feel the need to make excuses.

@@godsaveenglandfromthebriti2865 But still we beat you and draw against Argentina..Iceland probably only team ever to double on Messi I guess you silly boy😂When did England last beat or draw against Argentina in a tournament 😂😂😂

Who cares you got spanked the next round

@@eddie770 don't listen to the english mate, they are bitter as fuck - iceland has achieved more in football in the last 60 years

He got the England job on the backing of what he did at West Brom actually lol

Short sighted comment. He was important to the development of St George's Park. They wanted somebody internationally qualified. He'd done a very good job at West Brom prior to that. It's not a coincidence that Dan Ashworth followed him too. Very talented setup there.

@@Symmetryful Short sighted comment. If anyone thinks doing "a very good job at West Brom" is prime reason to get the England job then THAT is the exact problem we have. Listen again, he lost at Anfield to Northampton and Blackpool then had a go at the fans. I didn't say he got the England job on the back of his Liverpool performances, but at a higher level he was clearly out of his depth. The man had Gerrard and Torres at his disposal but lasted only six months, andafter leading Liverpool to their most embarrassing defeat, he later done the same to England.

@@thehalfeatendoughnut1798 It's not though. I think you could argue on the basis that his playing style wasn't what England wanted but you can't argue he didn't deserve it on the basis that he managed West Brom. Most top managers start out at smaller clubs, even Klopp himself who took a second division German side to the higher reaches of football. The issue is, as I've stated, irrelevant to pitch matters anyway - someone like Redknapp wouldn't be intelligent enough to oversee the development of St George's Park, it should be bluntly stated.

@@Symmetryful But Klopp is a modern day manager with modern ideas. Hodgson is a dinosaur who refused to change and was subsequently outwitted by Iceland. We are light years behind the best in Europe on and off the pitch. St George's Park should have happened years ago. Money has been flooding into the game for nearly 30 years yet we were still appointing backward looking coaches. Yes, facilities are a giant step forward, and even a great crop of youngsters, but if you don't get the coaching set up right it's all meaningless. Look what Erikson did to the 'golden generation.' He couldn't even get them eating lunch around the same table.

Not soon,it's too heavily calcified.

Wheres manchester?

Glenn O'Connor they do for every world cup and euros where the fuck u been

A John Terry type player.

English4Football: adding some more meat to the bone as if it were, Ryan Giggs for me put it best when he said, "when I watch England play there seems to be a lack of ability to simply solve problems on the pitch" when the ref blows the whistle. I think he's right. I'm 41 and in my life time the only occasions I can remember England stopping key players from performing is Italy 90 (lucky against Cameroon in the quarters never stopped r.miller with others in that team but) great performance against w.germany no one could have asked anymore; Euro 96 outstanding against the Dutch and kept Germans quite like Berfhoff; sammer etc in semis; France 98 what a performance against Argentina, no one could have asked of any more and then limped into the semis in Russia during a very diluted tournament (i.e no Holland, Italy etc). All other tournaments England have failed miserably at containing marque players, never mind doing the simple things like defending corners properly 😡

Not from England so I dont support them, but you cant deny they have a really good team for the World Cup whenever that happens. Rashford, Sancho, Sterling, Kane, Vardy, Jordan Henderson, Rice, Grealish, Maddison, Trent, Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Chilwell, Maguire, Joe Gomes, Tomori, Dean Henderson, Pope.And not to mention youngsters like Greenwood, Brandon Williams, Foden, Reece James, Curtis Jones, Saka, Bellingham... World Class team atm with a bright future.

‘overrated’ because we’re English, maybe? Idk, just a thought.

Persianbabak 4th in the World Cup and 3rd in the nations league in 2 years is pretty damn good if you ask me

No one ever said england were a great team in recent years. Even though they won every single game leading up to euro 2016 or world cup 2018 (either one of them). But the english invented football, their squad right now is looking excellent, and the English footballing youth (grass roots, or academies) currently coming through is incredible. A massive portion of british lads nowadays play football. England are going to be amazing soon

People say this but won't properly justify and explain what they mean. Was the generation of Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes, Ferdinand, Terry, Campbell, Beckham, Rooney, Owen, Cole etc overrated? Despite what those players did in their careers and how they're viewed now? Won fuck all for England, underperforming massively in the major tournaments. We're not the only nation (or football team) to have wasted a golden generation of talent. Overconfident? With the arrogance of some supporters, the media and possibly the attitude of the players (harsh here imo), yes. Overrated overall? I can't agree with that, never mind being the "most overrated national team in history". Sounds like an agenda.

They weren't overhyped. Where are you getting this from? You're just making it up! Even Lineker said a number of times during euro 16 that there was no expectation on England, suggesting maybe that will take the pressure off. The press had given up on England after World Cup 2014. For once, they weren't the problem. Unlike the mid 2000s when they seemed intent on disrupting the squad.

WOOOPdoctorFROGhere mate I’m English, and I have never been able to Stand the national team, they have always been useless, you could count on one hand how many world class players England has produced, they have never produced a pele, maradona, cruyff, messi , zidane etc, won 1 World Cup, which probably would not have been won if not on home soil, 99.9% of english coaches and managers seem to be totally clueless as well, Brazilians respect Germans and recognise there talent and achievements and vice versa, the English to the elite nations are a joke, always have been and probably always will be, the only people to bang the England drum are deluded english fans and the over hyping english media. Your only speaking through patriotism, if you were any other nationality you would not give England the time of day.
