Hodgson is utter garbage. England were poorer than Sweden, France, Ukraine and Italy and were somehow only defeated once.

I am glad our players can get some rest now ahead of the new season. We were horrible to watch throughout and lucky. A bit like Chelsea in Europe. Unlike Chelsea we got what we deserved. You cannot play like that and not expect to get beaten. You need to press in the modern game. You need to work harder than that. No team should EVER play that deep.

dont agree that he is garbage, disagree with his post match conference where he says england came close to beating a top team, they didn't they came close to not losing to a top team, still, he has brought himself 2 more years in the job

Young, Milner, Rooney and Welback were awful throughout the games, and yet Roy started them every game. Carroll didn't have anyone to pass to whenever he took down the ball. Thought Gerrard was rubbish agaisnt Italy too. If they're going to lose, they might as well loose playing attavking football, not hoping for a penalty shoot out.

We were utterly sh1te. No attacking threat until AC came on and then virtually nothing. How poor were Young, Welbeck, Rooney et al. Only SG and AC and JT looked better than pub players. Worst England performance for years. Glad we didn't win, that would have been so cruel in Italy who came to play football. We parked the bus and got exactly what we deserved.

I hope I am wrong but I think that could be Roy Hodgson's last game in charge at a major tournament, penalties are cruel but Italy shaded what was a poor game overall, maybe more time and things will improve, might have been a bit to soon for this team as a unit.

It was hard to watch after the first 20, we arent good enough and thats fair enough, one positive note in Roys favour is he got the guys to relax and they seemed more together, it wins you nothing though.

Roy Hodgson did a great job but england were found out tonight. Nothing to do with Roy's selection or tactics we were simply not good enough. Roy Hodgson got the best from what he had. Winning the group and getting to the quarter final was a respectable achievement considering he has only just taken the job on. The english press is very unforgiving but I predict he will read well for Roy tommorrow. The problem we have is our youth and coaching systems we simply don't have enough quality and that goes for Ireland, Wales and Scotland too.

Well, given that the FA like boring predictable managers i dont think so. I think he will take them to the next world cup (assuming we qualify) Given his defensive tactics thats not certain.When you get 3 points for a win. Overall i think RH done as well as any other manager would have done. I dont think he should have relied on rooney so much

Yep I am not convinced they will qualify, I could be way off the mark though.
