We might as well face it that whatever Hodgson's tactics and clearly there were errors - the midfield needed changing far earlier, that the teams of 1986 and 1990 were class, and it also shows what a good manager Bobby Robson was. The 1996 Euro squad and 1998 team weren't bad either. Today's players just aren't good enough. It's not just the Premiership and foreign players. Look at the number of England players who used to play for top Continental sides - Hoddle, Waddle, Lineker, Platt. How many do now?

Tonight, I heard the strangest comment I've ever heard aimed at an England game on TV in a pub in London -

"It's like watching Palace vs. Swindon."

Er... what... therf UCK?!

Not Rooney?

I don't think so, don't think he's been great but Hart is held up as top notch when he's really not....

Its dawning on me now what it must feel like to be a Scotland fan, i imagine its like this but a little bit worse.

Funniest moment of the World Cup so far. Camera pans round to the Uruguay fans going head-mental after their second goal - and there right in the middle of them is a single Scotland fan complete with Scotland jersey and Scotland flag going equally head-mental!!

If I ever saw an England fan doing that as Scotland lost in a major tournament to a random Latin American team, I think I'd properly cringe with embarrassment.

Whereas the lad in question is being feted as a national hero north of the border. Funniest football thing ever
