I'm not qualified to comment, but suffice to say 5 million souls pi$$ed off due to a footy game is quite sufficient for such a small island. Another 50 million won't help matters.
2144: "Without doubt, the defining image of McClaren's short reign. With their backs against the wall, England need blood, sweat and tears, and yet McClaren stood there helpless, umbrella aloft, not even prepared to get his hair wet! What would Churchill say?"
That's it then. Russia's win puts them ahead of England in the Group E table. Steve McClaren awaits the press mauling tomorrow. It's not going to be pretty.
I have to say, I do feel an awful lot better now than I did at this time on Saturday!!! See ya england, what will the championship do without you. Unlucky.
Don't usualy watch football, a good game (For Croatia), I guess. England looked out played throughout the match and Croatia earned the win... Now remind me Sam, Netball, that's the game with long-legged girls in shorts, right?
Terrible performance from England tonight. Deserved to lose, and on this campaign didn't deserve to qualify. Sam Allardyce should have had the job when Sven left.
Yeah you are right, nothing to do with luck! england are an inferior team period! Glad someone is agreeing with me, didn't expect that. Yeah we won't be there either, but we had a far superior campaign than you. At least we can hold our heads high. Eff Oh

Well they may start to look at what is wrong with the national team & why The Premiership Gravy Train - the best league in the world we are told - is not producing a national team England can be proud of. They might look at the manager and the coaching system and why English players only rarely perform in important games.
But they probably won't.
Sad for me to say but I think the result is the best thing that could have happened because the problems with the game surely can't be ignored. Can they?
Eff oh: Teach us what it's like to have that Socttish 'passion' - the one for losing at everything, all of the time. Maybe we can achieve those same outstanding levels as the Scots. It's gonna take a lot of work. Our team can be bad - very bad... but as bad as Scotland? It's a big ask. McClaren's the man for the job.
At least we can walk away from this knowing that we didn't do a pop song for the group stages of the European Championships.
I don't think we deserve anything for not being good enough, unlike another team I can think of.
England have too many players who think they're better than they really are...and the obscene wages most of them earn probably subconsciously supports their delusions of grandeur...
The Croatians played controlled passing football...England resorted to the long ball...the right team is going to the finals...
Yeah you are right, nothing to do with luck! england are an inferior team period! Glad someone is agreeing with me, didn't expect that. Yeah we won't be there either, but we had a far superior campaign than you. At least we can hold our heads high.
