That is all.

I agree 100%....McLaren is a disgrace....what kind of stupid formation is a 4-5-1....when have England played that?

The FA should do what they do best.....FINE the manager for not making the team win....just like they always fine Chelsea for "failing to control their players".....I doubt they will EVER fine Man U for anything.

McLaren is a joke, end of. Terrible management but wasnt helped by terrible performances by the players.

He doesnt drop Robinson thru out his whole terrible spell and now that hes finally getting his form and confidence back he drops him for someone who hasnt played a full international into the biggest game of Englands recent times.

He better not recall Robbo now, I want him out of the England firing line. Carson could get ruined by this for his club too.

Atleast Spurs England players will get a rest while this competitions on, fresh for the start of the next season.

I'd have money on it that McClaren is gone by the morning.

Failed to do his job.

Thank you...bye bye.

Miki, I'm English, but also a long term Croat fan.

Glad to hear that rrrrronaldinho:)) this team deserves that really,see you in Austria than (taking the title of course)))

Bring on Brazil!

Combined selection of the world...)

can i point out the irony of this situation, the fa didn't want hiddink so they went with mcClaren.
and now hiddink's russia is going to austria and swizerland and england is staying home.
it's time to tell it how it is, at this moment england doesn't have good enough coaches last year's top teams in the premiership were all foreign coaches.

lets not be to harsh on McLaren, i agree he isnt good enough for england, but its the FA that gave him the job in the first place. how do you get a job in the FA they all idiots or what.

lets be honest im not sad england didnt make it, makes the scottish defeat not that bad after all

he still needs to go! ... his tactics are crap .. his player selection is crap

England are crap in general.

look at all the times you choked and you will understand McClaren is just the spot of the iceberg (sp lol ! )

Guus Hiddink called this Group E drama "Russian roulette" (he knows this deadful stuff already ) after Russia and England ended up against their chances...

oh well ~ everything's so shiet with the match ~ the formation with so many mids was a joke ~ and how could he put in lamps and gerrard at the same time? they can never work fine with each other! and the first croatian goal shouldn't have been a goal literally ~ bloody mcclaren T.T

We completely got what we fully deserved.

Had we scraped through it would have only succeeded in conveniently covering up what a distasterous campaign this has been from start to finish.

Congratulations Croatia, you look a formidable side and your confidence can only grow.

The England hierarchy in the FA, Steve McClaren and all the players can only hang their heads in shame - no excuses, they are paid more than a Kings ransom to perform and wear the shirt with pride.

Carson dropped a clanger okay, but he shouldn't be singled out. The English press will be looking for a scapegoat and unfortunately it will be him until the next one comes along. His save in the second hald was world class.

Gerard? I just don't know, I really don't. We all know he is more than capable of passing the ball over the first player in front of him, as are most Sunday league pub team players. But not last night.

The second half was an improvement and Beckham again showed his worth - remember Macca unceremoniously dropping him from his first squad...then having to grovel back....the whole campaign has been an absolute farce from start to finish, and the only silver lining will surely be the inevitable departure of the Manager.

I'd like to thank, and also apologise to Israel - despite you putting the outcome into our own hands, we were not able to show an ounce of the fight or spirit you showed v Russia.

Here's to a good EURO '08 next summer - I hate to say it, but it can only be for the better without our shamble of [beep!] on display.

So hard to take. A New Manager is needed and we can't afford to just look at English manager.Jose or Big Phill both have the quallities to do the job. I thought Carson was abismall last night but i wouldn't put the blame on any1, the team itself isnt good enough

I hate Hiddink, can't believe Russia is in the world cup

[quote="Johaldo8"] ... and realise that our players aren't as good as what we think they are. Sven did a great job with the mediocrity he was working with. /quote]

"Mediocrity" may be too tough but, indeed, half of those whom we saw yesterday are not the guys for a top team. Those who are were on the bench.

i will put the same amount of effort into my post as the england boys have put into their performances.

[beep!]

That is all.

Stop talking Sesame Street will you, if you have something to say be man enough to say it.
