Is it?

We've not even played a top side this tournament.

In fact, we've not even played a second tier side.

Russia, Wales, Slovakia, Iceland.

Think of the goals we've let in.

Comedy defending vs Russia.
Soft free kick vs Bale.
Comedy defending vs Iceland x2 including poor goalkeeping.

At the least you could say 2 of those could've been stopped and 2 were gk errors.

You need to be able to defend before you can attack.

Do we need a new manager? Do we even need to compete in international football?

I think it's probably best to sit it out for a decade or so. We've loved and lost, now let's try never loving at all.

No-one wants to be England manager. Or Prime Minister for that matter.

Twitchy with Rosie as his number 2 (can smell a player a mile away).
No...

England's last decent team was under Hoddle. Probably the best Englishman out there.

What about Sir Trevor?
Would have been a great shout 10-15 years ago.

Give it to Beckham or someone. Pretty face for the media. Players will respect a 100 cap hero.

Hire a proper coach as his assistant to be tactician. Everybody wins.

Only work if the FA is blown up and we start from scratch like Germany did. I just don't see it.

They'll hire another yes-man c*nt and nothing will change. We'll qualify, pick out of form, 'big name' players and embarrass ourselves again.

If the system didn't change after we failed to qualify under McClaren then it won't change now.
