I can only ask for leniency on behalf of my national team as clearly Gylfi was slightly getting in the way of that elderly gentleman's slow evening jog.

Someone made a comment about the England team lacking 'Mental Strength@. Does anyone exactly what this means, whether they agree and what the remedy would be?

I suspect it means different things to different people @Rampage - for me it really is the ability to recognise if your plans and assumptions are not working out and being able to keep doing the basics well whilst clarifying with the coaching staff what adjustment to make and then implementing. As we saw, we panicked, we became unable to do basics correctly, we start lashing out in anger rather than channelling energy into something more positive.

Excellent post HantsRam. i missed this during the game, it was posted on a local site and of course people are appalled but are not being too harsh, most complimenting Gylfi for not rolling around in the grass and just getting on with it. Looks like Gylfi saw it coming and leaned back enough to avert injury. Lars Lagerback said before the Portugal game that video evidence of faking contact and injury and lashing out that is missed in the game by the ref should be punished after the game. i agree with him, but in this game there is no point to it, Rooney has probably played his last England game anyway, but in the season that is starting now i think video evidence needs to be considered after matches to cut out this sort of thing.

Agree totally @ramit. Completely unnecessary by rooney and cowardly. Not at all the image of England most of us would want you to have to see.

ramit Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 i am so sad to read what occurred in Brighton. We Icelanders have fondness for the English, we do not judge the nation by it's few idiots. There were no problems at the match or after it. not one instance and i will think of that in the future and not this distasteful isolated incident. http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/14586400.Bottles_thrown_at_Icelandic_family_after_team_s_victory_in_Euros/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Okay, i'm almost done now, but here is a video i simply must share with you, it's a very big, very angry Newcastle supporter going on a monumental rant about England, Roy Hodgson and the FA. Full of profanity and rage, so headphones on when watching this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon pall sigmarsson I think was mine. Back in the 70s. We offered up brian jacks - the "king " of dips and Geoff capes . The contest seemed much more gym like back then......
