I liked the comment I saw, "We crashed out of Europe twice in five days."

My favorite was an England fan in a game thread saying "My country hasn't been this embarrassed in days."

Love how Iceland is all in when defending their third.

They better get used to losing.

The England of the past would have invaded and added Iceland to the Empire.

They could at least tickle fight over some fishing grounds.

I was fortunate enough to order 5 hand rolls with a sixth on stand-by....

toss in my latest two rigs purchased and the gear ratio is whatever I choose.....

And Wayne Rooney said that 'sometimes the better team doesn't win'. Actually the better team did win. Perhaps had England's football team not been so consistently arrogant about it, this wouldn't be so funny.

I saw the game yesterday. It was a clinic. What was so amazing was the offensive efficiency of Iceland when they got the ball in scoring position.

And again, not to muddy this up, but the "elites" are getting their asses handed to them. It's rather funny. Country/politics/personalities aside, how hard did Portugals primadonna whine after their game with Iceland?

The meek shall inherit the Earth...

Iceland is a great story and tremendous fun to watch. And their fans - wow - what a showing. Have really enjoyed watching their run this tournament.

8% of their population traveled to France for these games.

As an English rugby fan I have to say that the tears of my fellow countrymen are delicious. The whole team/admin/fan base are so arrogant and lazy that they need to fall down. The players in that game were completely inept and without any passion or love the the game or shirt.

Nothing like the rugby or cricket teams.

The London Oratory School only fields rugby and cricket teams. Football is for the hooligans.

My school only offered rugby and cricket, although the rules of football were first written down at Cambridge with people from Eton, Harrow, Charterhouse and indeed Rugby School. Still, these days it is pretty much totally for hooligans.

Rugby - a game for hooligans, played by gentlemen.
Football (the kind that Americans call soccer) - a game for gentlemen, played by hooligans.

This makes me anxious for premier league. It may be one of the last good seasons.
