There's nothing better than the increasingly pissy tone from both Darke and McManaman as the minutes tick away. They are both so mad at the English team.

McManaman's tone of voice is EXACTLY the same as the tone of voice used by a guy who was mugged on the subway in full view of a police officer.

WHAT are they doing?
HOW is this possible?
THIS is terrible.

I'm just laughing out loud repeatedly at these Kane attempts. He's young enough that you have to wonder if he will ever be the same after this. He's lucky the media aren't giving him the Sterling treatment but he may even get some of that after this one.

The narrative that Iceland is a hapless minnow will surely continue if they hang on in all of the delirious England self-flagellation. But, you know, when a team keeps churning out result after result that causes everyone who plays them to say, "I can't believe we lost to them," maybe at some point it's appropriate to give them credit.

Iceland had a fantastic Euro qualification campaign. Everyone wanted to say that the Netherlands just sucks, but maybe Iceland deserves a bit more credit for kicking their asses twice. Good results against Turkey, Austria, Portugal. This is a good side.

McManaman

After hearing his call of Vardy's free kick, I'm now convinced he's going walk in to England's dressing room and cock-slap everyone in there.
My word, yes. He is absolutely on the verge of challenging every player in an England shirt to a duel.

Darke shifted to "how do we Brexit Hodgson before he can get on the plane home" mode about 6 minutes ago.

Well that sucked. The only hope is to blow it all up and start again, but somehow, even though there'll be a new manager, I don't expect anything to change.
