I agree, as bad as last night was this was by no means the first England flop at a major tournament. Since 1966 we have beaten one other World Cup Winner in normal time at a major tournament and we've never won a knockout game at a European Championships outside our own country. For a country with the footballing heritage and resources it has at its disposal that is staggering. This runs far beyond the manager of the national team.
Resign from well-paid cushy jobs? Yeh, right ... ... ... ...

No point one blazer will be replaced by another blazer.
They will never choose the right manager for the job or the right people to run it, it has always been thus and always will be.
FIFA, UEFA, FA, all the same, sitting back and watching international football slowly die due to the money in the leagues.

Greg Dyke had long ago announced he was leaving his job in July.

That's news to me - but cheers Bozza - I'll get you for making me look a chump
Sounds like Dyke is very well-intentioned, unlike some of his FA colleagues:

honestly what do you think that they can do better? what does a resignation acheive, other than to allocate some blame and pretend that resolves it? and what is "it" that needs to be fixed?

Agreed, I feel like Dyke was trying to change something and found himself repeatedly running into brick walls. The FA is a shambles.

Sooner or later i hope that tiny plucky Iceland will actually get some recognition for how they have been playing and not for the abject performances of the teams they have played so far , as predicted Iceland did a job on us and we were lucky to get the 1 . The FA are a complete joke of a organisation run by yes men who work for Murdoch rather than what they are employed to do , which is to improve at all levels domestic football and to implement the basic rules of fair play and conduct , as usual in such things they are lacking in both areas in fact a laughing stock . Joke organisation .

Surely the Premier League is the best in the world. And you get a decent hand out if you fail and get relegated.
