Sterling has been dogshit all season, Wilshire and Sturridge haven't even playedI think we pretty much had the best XI players playing tonight tbh. That's the worst thing about it.

Vardy is an out and out sniffer of goals, Llana has been our most creative player all tournament (not saying much admittedly) - playing a winger formation, with no wingers and no one that can cross a ball (or anyone that can head it either). No wonder we didn't score many goals
Barkley has second most assists in the premier league amongst English players

Rugby and cricket I support England over my club/County. However the national football team has underachieved so often I feel absolutely no connection with them in the way I feel for SAFC.That's an absolute given for me. Anyone who prefers country over club, wrang uns.
If you're English and shit you get a game if you're playing for the right club these days.
I've never seen a football turn itself into a huge hungry and very angry sabre tooth tiger on steroids, but joe hart did last night.Out of the England shite Hawks picked

Kane
Vardy

Hart is f***ing shite
Townsend
Drinkwater
Defoe
Noble
There's four to get us started.
I think they a glaring omissions, the 2 biggest ones being Townsend and carrol, you can say what you want about a player being shot or whatever but they're 2 players that should fit together like a well oiled machine, Townsend cross the ball, carrol head the bastard down or at goal. So simpleYou might be right but none of those are glaring omissions, apples and oranges.
It's not like we left a world class player out of the squad.

He was playing through injury a lot though, he had a few niggles through the whole season, he never looked fit through the tournament either waySturridge played 30 times for Liverpool and England last year, but apart from that...

I'm not defending Hodgson, far from it.
If putting a lot of balls in the box wasn't going to be a game plan then Carrol shouldn't have gone. If he had of took him then he would be a good option the last 15mins as we weren't passing through them but unless that's a tactic you'll consider then it's pointless bring him.
It's not like he left out Kane, Vardy and Ali out of the squad who were probably the best three English players last season, decisions were made but none were a glaring mistake.
So why did he take Wiltshire, sterling and rashford then?I hate all this guff about big club bias, and picking "form players". Two of the biggest disappointments of the tournament, Ali and Kane, we're two of the best players in the league last year. You can't more in form than them.
England were rubbish for a few reasons. One is that our players aren't good enough - the ones we picked were by and large the best (you could squabble if you wanted to about one or two but it's borderline stuff), and they just aren't as good as we think. Secondly, Hodgson went from a man who has built his career on being organised, clear thinking and logical/pragmatic suddenly went ducking barmy and couldn't make his mind up. He played 433 for two years, then one injured striker and he builds a squad for a diamond system he's never tested, before changing his mind and reverting back to 433, by which point we have no wingers. He's got a striker in midfield, a striker on the wing but constantly cutting inside. A shot to bits winger playing in a role which isn't his best and his biggest, best centre forward taking set pieces , but never getting an actual cross into the box.
Just utterly muddled thinking all around really. But nothing to do with a big club bias or anything like that. That's just silly.
