:00:57. > :01:02.Blimey, you've joined us, you are suckers for punishment. England are
:01:03. > :01:07.out of Euro 2016 after losing to Iceland and Roy Hodgson has
:01:08. > :01:11.resigned. A traumatic night for English football, the inquest has
:01:12. > :01:19.begun and these three have plenty to say. First, here is the action from
:01:20. > :01:31.Nice. COMMENTATOR: One group of players freighted in Iceland watched
:01:32. > :01:34.every group. Roy Hodgson has reverted to an England side that
:01:35. > :01:41.started the tournament and played so well for so long against Russia. The
:01:42. > :01:46.differences Daniel Sturridge replaces Adam Lallana. Kyle Walker,
:01:47. > :01:51.Danny Rose, Dele Alli, Captain Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane comeback in,
:01:52. > :01:56.plus Raheem Sterling, in football and finance Sterling has to perform
:01:57. > :02:01.better. Continuity is key for Iceland. They have fielded the same
:02:02. > :02:04.team as in all their games so far. Gylfi Sigurdsson is the best-known
:02:05. > :02:10.and the only one from the English Premier League. Gudmundsson's
:02:11. > :02:19.Charlton were relegated from the championship. England expects and
:02:20. > :02:24.showed against a nation at its first competition, punching well above its
:02:25. > :02:29.weight and with a population equivalent to roughly Leicester.
:02:30. > :02:31.Maybe that is one good reason for England not to be complacent against
:02:32. > :02:45.the arctic Foxes. Storage, through to Sterling, what a
:02:46. > :02:56.ball. Sterling, was he brought down by Halldorsson? The referee says, he
:02:57. > :03:04.is. Sterling won the race. A great ball from Daniel Sturridge. Just
:03:05. > :03:11.gets a foot on it and the keeper clatters into him. It is of course
:03:12. > :03:18.the captain, Wayne Rooney. WHISTLE
:03:19. > :03:29.And Rooney scores! Perfectly placed into the corner, it is the perfect
:03:30. > :03:34.start from the players with the Three Lions on their chest. Wayne
:03:35. > :03:38.Rooney stepping up, using all that experience, makes that look so easy.
:03:39. > :03:44.You could feel the pressure he was under.
:03:45. > :03:52.Wayne Rooney has a perfect record on in game penalties for his country,
:03:53. > :03:58.that is now seven out of seven. England need to keep it tight, it
:03:59. > :04:06.will force Iceland come out and attack England. Gunnarson, expect a
:04:07. > :04:10.long throw in to be launched into the box.
:04:11. > :04:23.That is exactly what's going to happen. And it's helped across goal.
:04:24. > :04:28.Throw in, flick on, goal for Ragnar Sigurdsson!
:04:29. > :04:39.What a response from the underdog this. Awful England defending. Easy
:04:40. > :04:44.as one, two, three. Look at this, catapulted it in, a flick on, nobody
:04:45. > :04:48.going with a runner. It's not as if they haven't seen them do this
:04:49. > :04:52.already in the tournament. A great, cultured finish from the
:04:53. > :04:57.centre-half. And for England it threatens to be quite a long 90
:04:58. > :04:58.minutes when they can't hold a lead for 90 seconds. And so the game
:04:59. > :05:21.begins again. Walker, two against three, Walker
:05:22. > :05:27.finds another option. The ball bounces pack of Skulason.
:05:28. > :05:46.Rooney. That was a test for the keeper. A chance now for Alli to hit
:05:47. > :05:50.it and didn't he just. He sits out of this one at the edge of the box
:05:51. > :05:55.and hits this one sweetly. Look at that the technique and confidence.
:05:56. > :06:09.Gunnarson, sees Saevarsson moving forward. Here is Gunnarson. It was
:06:10. > :06:11.left by Dier, come to Sigurdsson. Iceland have turned it round to
:06:12. > :06:23.lead! There is disbelief right around the
:06:24. > :06:28.ground from the England fans, and Iceland supporters. Great play here,
:06:29. > :06:35.far too much space, look at this. You have to get tight to him. Cahill
:06:36. > :06:39.can't get there. Just placed it, but Joe Hart should save that. Needs a
:06:40. > :06:49.stronger hand. Just can't keep it out. England one, Iceland two.
:06:50. > :06:57.Sterling, that was clever movement. Kane. Alli and Sturridge over. Over
:06:58. > :07:02.to Sturridge. Can you find Raheem Sterling? Others are there to help
:07:03. > :07:10.now. Sturridge in, Harry Kane! Saved by Halldorsson. Better, better,
:07:11. > :07:13.better. Definitely better. Sturridge shaped himself nicely. Good save
:07:14. > :07:31.from the keeper. Skulason down the side, just pop it
:07:32. > :07:38.in like a server. They keep the ball very well. Gunnarson. No direction
:07:39. > :07:44.on that one. A coming together between Rooney and Saevarsson.
:07:45. > :07:48.Almost crept inside rather than outside the post. Skulason. Joe Hart
:07:49. > :08:01.would have seen that so late. Kane had to keep it, Alli had
:08:02. > :08:05.strayed offside. Rose, being held and pulled by Gylfi Sigurdsson. Rose
:08:06. > :08:09.wanted to take it quickly, Sigurdsson stopped him and he gets
:08:10. > :08:13.the first yellow card of the match. Rose did well, trying to play as
:08:14. > :08:15.quick as he can. He fouled him, Rose is up on his feet quickly. Wants to
:08:16. > :08:29.keep the momentum. In from Kane, Smalling! He couldn't
:08:30. > :08:32.direct it, he won it. Again, another teasing ball in. Smalling can get up
:08:33. > :08:48.but he can't get the direction. Walker. Backs himself to beat
:08:49. > :08:54.Bjarnason. Rooney! Off the knee and into the ground. Frustration rises.
:08:55. > :09:01.It is, painful, really painful right now.
:09:02. > :09:14.The fans break-out into Don't Take Me Home. The players have to get to
:09:15. > :09:17.work. The referee didn't like that challenge there and the card is
:09:18. > :09:24.coming out of the pocket for the Liverpool man. He picked his pocket
:09:25. > :09:31.that, he had to foul his opponent. Smalling miscued it. Iceland's
:09:32. > :09:38.corner. Sigthorsson, awkward, a big customer. You just have to take that
:09:39. > :09:41.ball at its highest point. You shouldn't be holding, just go and
:09:42. > :09:48.win the ball. Iceland's first corner. Bjarnason. His team-mate got
:09:49. > :09:54.in his way but it's not away yet. It hit Hart. The overhead hook was
:09:55. > :10:00.going in and it struck England's goalkeeper. It is another massive
:10:01. > :10:04.let off. Absolutely nobody picking up... Look at this for an overhead.
:10:05. > :10:10.Fantastic effort there from the centre-half again.
:10:11. > :10:17.Walker. Sturridge. Just enough on that from Skulason.
:10:18. > :10:27.Sturridge. Alli! Always underneath it.
:10:28. > :10:39.It's a good ball in, just leaning back.
:10:40. > :10:50.Kane to Alli, Alli caught late. There is a yellow card for the
:10:51. > :10:51.Iceland captain. Harry Kane on the free kick again, which won't please
:10:52. > :11:04.some. Kane wide, this time. It was never
:11:05. > :11:09.anywhere near on target. A tired looking Roy Hodgson. It certainly
:11:10. > :11:17.is. Don't be looking at the watch yet. Vardy, first chance he's had.
:11:18. > :11:24.Looked good tackle from Ragnar Sigurdsson. Outstanding tackle.
:11:25. > :11:31.Vardy, we know about his pace, he has to get this exactly right. You
:11:32. > :11:35.will just be tackle. -- beautifully timed tackle.
:11:36. > :11:51.This is embarrassing for England now. Gunnarson,. Stunning to see a
:11:52. > :11:56.team playing with such confidence, way above themselves. They are
:11:57. > :12:06.getting so close to another piece of history, Iceland.
:12:07. > :12:13.Good touch by the other Bjarnason. Gunnarson, Gunnarson steps inside
:12:14. > :12:20.Wilshere. The save from Hart. It could have been a goal. Look at his
:12:21. > :12:26.run from deep, determination, he has the power to shrug off Wilshere.
:12:27. > :12:35.Gets his shot. Joe Hart comes to the rescue. It's happening for Iceland.
:12:36. > :12:41.Hart stays back. Didn't have to make the save, but on another day that
:12:42. > :12:46.might have been creeping in. Wayne Rooney, the captain of his country,
:12:47. > :12:51.is making way for 18-year-old Marcus Rashford.
:12:52. > :13:07.Rashford, Rose got in his way. Rose was fouled.
:13:08. > :13:15.That's gone in the wind. Dear oh dear. England have nearly gone.
:13:16. > :13:29.That's just unbelievable. Gudmundsson, still has the energy to
:13:30. > :13:38.run with it. Rashford. Rashford goes on, but a drop of the shoulder and
:13:39. > :13:41.it comes off Saevarsson. Someone in an England shirt showing something.
:13:42. > :13:47.Why wasn't he on the pitch earlier? A great run from the young man. He
:13:48. > :13:56.will take the corner. It wasn't a good one, it is a goal kicks
:13:57. > :14:01.Iceland, who are nearly there. His run here, Rashford, just that little
:14:02. > :14:06.bit of cunning nests in his play. The great tackle, in the end, to
:14:07. > :14:12.deny him. That is it, time up for England and may be Roy Hodgson,
:14:13. > :14:24.unless they can create one last. Alli. Sturridge. Sturridge's cross
:14:25. > :14:28.to stop he is missed. Vardy got a flicked on it, corner is the shout
:14:29. > :14:34.and corner is the call. The last chance. The ball into the box, what
:14:35. > :14:41.about that for a bit of defending? Joe Hart is up. Harry Kane's corner.
:14:42. > :14:48.Hart didn't get to it. It has gone behind. England are out of the
:14:49. > :14:59.European Championship. And England's embarrassment is Iceland's ecstasy.
:15:00. > :15:10.This is surely as Baz as it has ever been for England -- that. Maybe
:15:11. > :15:15.worse than losing to the USA in 1950, and Norway in 1981 and that
:15:16. > :15:21.commentary. Roy Hodgson, Wayne Rooney and the boys took a hell of a
:15:22. > :15:28.beating. And after last week, they will be loving it right around
:15:29. > :15:34.Europe. England out of Europe, it is a theme! Well done, Iceland. They go
:15:35. > :15:40.on to Paris. They will play France. They deserve everything of the
:15:41. > :15:50.success they are enjoying. England out. England embarrassed. England
:15:51. > :15:56.won, Iceland two. Yes, England humiliated and out.
:15:57. > :15:58.After the final whistle, Roy Hodgson delivered this final statement to
:15:59. > :16:04.the press. We are in the results business. My
:16:05. > :16:09.contract was always up after the Euros. So now is the time. One else
:16:10. > :16:15.to oversee the progress of this young, extremely talented group of
:16:16. > :16:19.players. They have been fantastic and they have done everything that
:16:20. > :16:24.has been asked of them. When I arrived, I was told that players did
:16:25. > :16:28.not turn up to play for their country or that they would pull out
:16:29. > :16:32.at the last minute, but I have not seen any of that. These players love
:16:33. > :16:38.to play for their country and their commitment has been on questionable.
:16:39. > :16:43.I have been asked to speak on their behalf. They arrived with me as part
:16:44. > :16:47.of my coaching team and they will leave with me. I am sorry it has had
:16:48. > :16:52.to end this weight with another exit from the tournament. These things
:16:53. > :16:58.happen and all I can do is wish everybody the very best and hope
:16:59. > :17:02.that you will still be able to see an England team in the final of a
:17:03. > :17:09.major tournament fairly soon. We have been unable to do that. Thank
:17:10. > :17:13.you very much. There can be no excuses, England
:17:14. > :17:19.were beaten by the better team tonight? The result cannot lie. We
:17:20. > :17:24.had 95 minutes to put right. We had to take some responsibility and
:17:25. > :17:28.myself personally, I will take responsibility, I should be saving
:17:29. > :17:31.at least two goals in this tournament. It alters in a bad
:17:32. > :17:37.situation and we were not to recover. Some of the best players in
:17:38. > :17:40.the Premier League on show, why can you not gel, why do not want it as
:17:41. > :17:45.much if that is the difference? What you just said is not the case. It is
:17:46. > :17:50.not a question of wanting it, there is nothing more than wanting to do
:17:51. > :17:54.well in this tournament. They are just words and I have said before
:17:55. > :17:58.the tournament, they are just words. We have been in a good place in a
:17:59. > :18:03.lot of tournaments, but we have not ultimately done it. We will get a
:18:04. > :18:07.lot of criticism and we deserve it. It is about growing as players, a
:18:08. > :18:11.lot of young players and people who will learn from this and hopefully
:18:12. > :18:15.quick and try and bring English football back to where it belongs.
:18:16. > :18:19.But right now, we put it as a low point and we will have to take that.
:18:20. > :18:25.Is this your lowest moment in an England shirt? Obviously, the night,
:18:26. > :18:29.it is. I think you cannot compare it with all the -- with other
:18:30. > :18:32.tournaments, it is always disappointing when you go to a
:18:33. > :18:39.tournament but we are all gutted. With help we let a chance that. We
:18:40. > :18:44.believe we had won the game -- we believed we lacked a chance slip.
:18:45. > :18:49.With hindsight, was it a mistake to rest so many players against the
:18:50. > :18:56.packet? No, I do not think so. Going into the last 16, we were confident
:18:57. > :19:01.we could win that game. -- against Slovakia. The night, it has cost us
:19:02. > :19:07.in not getting the chances and not creating so many clear-cut chances
:19:08. > :19:10.to get back in the game. But we fought and we tried. It is
:19:11. > :19:16.disappointing, but we have to move on. We are a good team, we know
:19:17. > :19:18.that, and we have to move on and look forward.
:19:19. > :19:22.I cannot say it is as a prize, I always said to the players that is
:19:23. > :19:28.the loss of the is if you do a good team performance, even if you are an
:19:29. > :19:33.underdog, you can always when fashion that is my the loss of life.
:19:34. > :19:37.Even we created some cleaner goal-scoring chances than England's
:19:38. > :19:42.did even if they had a lot of possession. We have a game plan, we
:19:43. > :19:47.believe in the things we do. I think it is the belief and the power we
:19:48. > :19:50.have. Together as a team. It is the greatest moment of my football
:19:51. > :19:56.career. And he was one of the stars and
:19:57. > :20:00.congratulations to Iceland. Where do we start with England in this
:20:01. > :20:03.tobacco? Well, that was the worst performance I have ever seen from an
:20:04. > :20:10.England team, ever, from start to finish. We were outfought and out
:20:11. > :20:17.thought. We were out battled. And we were totally hopeless for 90
:20:18. > :20:21.minutes. And I said after the three group games, I did not think England
:20:22. > :20:26.was good enough. I argued with you and Danny and Stephen, I did not see
:20:27. > :20:30.enough in those performances. It looked as though Roy was making it
:20:31. > :20:36.up as he went along, he did not have a system. Tactically inept? Yes,
:20:37. > :20:40.players in the squad who did not deserve it. How can you pick Jack
:20:41. > :20:45.Wilshire? He has not played 90 minutes over a year? 140 minutes
:20:46. > :20:51.this season, how is he fit enough to represent England? He brought him on
:20:52. > :20:54.at half-time to save the game. After taking him off after 50 minutes the
:20:55. > :20:59.other day because he was not good enough. He has put his neck on the
:21:00. > :21:04.line for James Sterling who has not performed and played for his team.
:21:05. > :21:09.Harry Kane on corners in the first game -- Raheem Sterling. From start
:21:10. > :21:13.to finish, it has been hopeless. Rio, what you think has gone wrong?
:21:14. > :21:19.You look at these players, some very good players. We see them every
:21:20. > :21:22.week. They play against footballers that on paper and the clubs they are
:21:23. > :21:28.at, they should not compare. How can it go this drastically wrong? I
:21:29. > :21:33.agree with everything all in just said. Embarrassing, to be honest. If
:21:34. > :21:36.you get into a tournament and you do not know your best team and
:21:37. > :21:42.formation, you will run into trouble. It was proven in all the
:21:43. > :21:47.games we played, we just get past with 90 seconds to go. On paper, we
:21:48. > :21:50.should have put outside is easily. One of the biggest problems other
:21:51. > :21:54.than not knowing your best team and shape, when we got into wide areas,
:21:55. > :22:01.with full-backs especially, we had no real idea. There was no real loss
:22:02. > :22:06.of the ad idea of where to run. There was no, Harry Kane is in the
:22:07. > :22:11.box, and they will run off him the other side, there was no finesse. No
:22:12. > :22:16.inventiveness in any of the play. Going forward. I was excited by this
:22:17. > :22:20.England team before this tournament and I was led up the garden path a
:22:21. > :22:27.bit because qualifying was so easy, and you believed the hype. But I am
:22:28. > :22:30.buying into youth. I did not expect to win this tournament and I did not
:22:31. > :22:34.say we would have a chance of winning it, but I thought because of
:22:35. > :22:40.the young players we have got, we would have a vibrant work ethic, as
:22:41. > :22:44.individuals especially and at club form, I thought we would have a
:22:45. > :22:49.chance of coming out of this tournament with a little bit of
:22:50. > :22:53.positivity. Absolutely gone! I have lot -- I have watched a lot of teams
:22:54. > :22:57.at this tournament with a mixed bag of talent. But most of them that
:22:58. > :23:00.have done well have been really well organised and had a game plan.
:23:01. > :23:05.England did not seem to have that. I have listened to them and they have
:23:06. > :23:09.hit the nail on the head with every word and the one thing that stood
:23:10. > :23:13.out for me is that I do not think Roy knew what he was doing, I do not
:23:14. > :23:17.think he knew what was his best team at any time. I do not think he knew
:23:18. > :23:21.what was his best system at any time. And I think his loyalty to
:23:22. > :23:28.players has cost him not only his job, but what has cost is a really
:23:29. > :23:32.horrible way of going out of the tournament, in all honesty. Those
:23:33. > :23:38.players have let him down. Which players are you talking about with
:23:39. > :23:43.the loyalty? Wilshere, Sterling, Cahill? Harry Kane as well,
:23:44. > :23:48.fantastic season, he has not performed at the tournament. Jo Hart
:23:49. > :23:53.as well. He has stuck with players. The one that sticks out massively is
:23:54. > :23:57.Sterling. You have a manager and he has so many players to choose from,
:23:58. > :24:03.you would bury your selection perhaps as a squad, and by and
:24:04. > :24:08.large, some blame has to go on the players as well? Yes, as players,
:24:09. > :24:11.knowing a lot of the players in the dressing room, they will take
:24:12. > :24:15.responsibility. At the same time, you have to be guided. I play for a
:24:16. > :24:20.manager at Manchester United, when things left, things did not go well
:24:21. > :24:23.and it showed me managers mean a lot in a team. He sets the tone for the
:24:24. > :24:29.players to carry out his ideals and ideas. Our players caved tonight.
:24:30. > :24:32.Yes, you can talk about England players being under pressure, we
:24:33. > :24:35.have all been under pressure and had to perform under pressure. They
:24:36. > :24:41.caved and the manager caved, he should have brought on a lot earlier
:24:42. > :24:46.Rashford. He did more in five minutes than anybody in the previous
:24:47. > :24:50.85, 86 minutes. Everybody caved tonight. It is not about pressure,
:24:51. > :24:55.we are blinded by our Premier league and we think it is one of the best
:24:56. > :24:59.in the world for talent, it is not. We are totally and utterly reliant
:25:00. > :25:03.on foreign players and foreign managers for the excitement. We are
:25:04. > :25:06.not as good as we think, the players are not as good as we think they
:25:07. > :25:11.are. There has got to be truth in that. Let's look through the game.
:25:12. > :25:15.Defensively, we will always worried going to this tournament even though
:25:16. > :25:20.they has not been pressurised much in the group games, it happened.
:25:21. > :25:25.This was the game they played earlier in the tournament. It would
:25:26. > :25:32.have worked on this every day since getting this draw. They would have
:25:33. > :25:37.seen that. It is not about the Aron Gunnarsson, Walker. You will say,
:25:38. > :25:42.the second, we will clean-up. You breeze is him. That it is not about
:25:43. > :25:48.the ball. Going forward, he is a very good players, but he needs to
:25:49. > :25:51.and those questions defensively. Organisation is vital, concentration
:25:52. > :25:56.at these poignant moments, you have to do that. Iceland have done that
:25:57. > :26:03.in every single game so that is no surprise to England. What is Gary
:26:04. > :26:07.Neville doing? He was one of the best defenders we have had so surely
:26:08. > :26:12.they have had to work on defensive set pieces all week because that is
:26:13. > :26:15.what Iceland have been good at. Why is Rooney deems not good enough to
:26:16. > :26:20.head a ball into the box but good enough to pick up one of the best
:26:21. > :26:24.header from a throw in? That is where the first goal is from. So you
:26:25. > :26:30.have to look at the manager and coaching staff also. Second goal?
:26:31. > :26:35.Well, where do you start? It is good play from Iceland and we have to
:26:36. > :26:40.give them credit. This ball travels 40, 50, 60 yards. We still have
:26:41. > :26:48.enough time to shovel over. Look at the players. No pressure on the ball
:26:49. > :26:52.and look at the three players. Where is Dier? The two centre halves, the
:26:53. > :26:58.forwards in between the centre halves and defenders, no clue where
:26:59. > :27:00.they are, no mocking whatsoever, no organisation, no leader pulling
:27:01. > :27:06.everybody around and organising everybody. And when the ball comes
:27:07. > :27:11.in, touch, touch, touch, touch, and the third is a shot. That from a
:27:12. > :27:16.defender's point of view is embarrassing. From a goalkeeper's,
:27:17. > :27:21.and Paris in also. Jo Hart said it, he should say that. -- embarrassing.
:27:22. > :27:28.Defenders need to be doing a lot more. What was most alarming, zero
:27:29. > :27:35.communication. As a centre-half, you have the stop that. You have to come
:27:36. > :27:39.out of the back four and engage with the centre forward. The defending,
:27:40. > :27:43.waiting for somebody else to step up. That is what we talked about
:27:44. > :27:47.before, leadership. We were wanting somebody to lead that back four and
:27:48. > :27:51.communicate, it did not happen today. Going the other way, England
:27:52. > :27:55.hardly created anything. They created nothing in the second-half,
:27:56. > :28:00.not one opportunity. We were hoping they would do but nothing. It was
:28:01. > :28:04.the wide areas that were the most frustrating areas of the park. This
:28:05. > :28:09.is good from Dele Alli and this has to come in now. This is what
:28:10. > :28:12.strikers thrive on. Harry Kane has got a lot of stick at this
:28:13. > :28:17.tournament, get it in the box and give them something to attack. But,
:28:18. > :28:23.no. Back onto the left but, it is the best but of Sturridge so he will
:28:24. > :28:27.do that. I have never seen Raheem Sterling put that in with his life
:28:28. > :28:32.but anyway but that needs to happen. He does not even react because he
:28:33. > :28:36.knows that is not coming in. We like to let the back four drop back into
:28:37. > :28:40.comfortable areas of the park and not get that into the space and
:28:41. > :28:46.eventually, he becomes predictable. Overloading the bodies and he has
:28:47. > :28:52.nowhere to go. What you need... Is somebody telling him get the ball in
:28:53. > :28:56.the box? If you were playing, you would be screaming, I have made a
:28:57. > :29:00.run, it get it in. Get the ball in the box, what are you doing? How
:29:01. > :29:05.many times have we seen in the Premier league it is not happening,
:29:06. > :29:09.switchover. Go to the left is a left footer, Sterling, go to the right
:29:10. > :29:13.and you might get in a ball. No thought to do that in the game.
:29:14. > :29:18.Daniel Sturridge does not want to play on the right-hand side he is
:29:19. > :29:21.not a right fielder, he is a striker. We are putting players in
:29:22. > :29:27.the systems they do not play for their clubs. I have always said
:29:28. > :29:31.football is a very hard game in your own position, let alone somebody
:29:32. > :29:36.else's. And you have to pick players in form, we have made that mistake
:29:37. > :29:41.over years. And I thought for this tournament, pick players in form,
:29:42. > :29:46.not who think that they should eat and who have done a job a year ago,
:29:47. > :29:47.two years ago, players actually in form. Not for the manager to be
:29:48. > :30:01.loyal. How many wingers were on that plane?
:30:02. > :30:04.It cannot be right you're playing the first game in the tournament,
:30:05. > :30:06.then a second and then a third and on the fourth annual still
:30:07. > :30:13.scrambling around, trying to find your best players and your best
:30:14. > :30:20.system. That cannot be right. Wright, a bit of credit for Iceland.
:30:21. > :30:24.Magnificent achievement. Tiny, tiny island, with 300,000 or so people.
:30:25. > :30:30.An astonishing achievement and they had some good players. Every single
:30:31. > :30:34.one of them were outstanding. They fought for their team. Sigurdsson
:30:35. > :30:40.was absolutely outstanding for the 90 minutes. He got the goal, quicker
:30:41. > :30:44.than anyone at both ends of the pitch. Another set piece causing a
:30:45. > :30:49.problem. That is a centre-half, by the way. What about this tackle?
:30:50. > :30:54.Vardy quick, timed to absolute perfection. He was a leader, he
:30:55. > :30:58.dominated the game. He was exactly what England didn't have. I thought
:30:59. > :31:05.it was the easiest game in the tournament. England never really
:31:06. > :31:10.looked like scoring. Throwback football, the old Premier League
:31:11. > :31:13.about ten years ago, two forward upfront, having absolutely zero
:31:14. > :31:17.respect for England the way they approach this game. All the other
:31:18. > :31:23.games we saw, the heat map was in their own box. Here, two strikers up
:31:24. > :31:29.the pitch. Two players up front, and a rigid 4-4- two. People say you
:31:30. > :31:33.can't play that formation any more, but these guys show you can. You
:31:34. > :31:38.have guys willing to run and move and they have a game plan in place
:31:39. > :31:42.that they all adhered to. And again, you come out, you play, we will get
:31:43. > :31:46.the ball back off you. The way the manager spoke after the game in his
:31:47. > :31:50.press Conference, as if to say, we knew we were going to get answers
:31:51. > :31:53.and we would have time to beat this team and we were confident. And it
:31:54. > :32:00.was proved. And they out for England. They did. If you put a team
:32:01. > :32:03.together, to work together as a team rather than individuals, you can win
:32:04. > :32:07.matches, and that is what they did. They outfought them, alt worked
:32:08. > :32:12.them. They seemed to want it a lot more in these areas, even when
:32:13. > :32:18.England were trying to probe. They were fully committed all the time,
:32:19. > :32:20.working for each other. That is a striker, tracking back, brushing
:32:21. > :32:26.Dele Alli off the ball like he wasn't even. They did this, that
:32:27. > :32:30.constantly. Swamps the England players, giving them no time or
:32:31. > :32:37.space. The amount of miles they put in. A special mention to Gylfi
:32:38. > :32:41.Sigurdsson, was excellent today. We've had Russia, we didn't beat
:32:42. > :32:45.them. We had Wales, we beat them in the last minute. We had Slovakia, we
:32:46. > :32:50.didn't score against them and Iceland tonight to outfought and
:32:51. > :32:55.outplayed us. I go back to my point earlier. I kept hearing people say,
:32:56. > :32:58.we had possession, we just need to take our chances. Don't talk about
:32:59. > :33:03.possession, it's all about putting the ball in the back of the net. The
:33:04. > :33:09.players caved tonight, as had other is to say. Roy has gone, what is the
:33:10. > :33:13.answer? Is there an obvious one? I don't know. We have gone for
:33:14. > :33:17.ultimate experience, people with experience coming out of their ears.
:33:18. > :33:21.We have gone for a foreign manager. I think we have to go for someone
:33:22. > :33:26.young, dynamic, who understands the young players coming through. Gareth
:33:27. > :33:32.Southgate is with the U21 's, he has dumped Italy well with them, he is
:33:33. > :33:35.with the FA. He is the obvious choice, especially when you look
:33:36. > :33:39.elsewhere in terms of English managers, unless they go for and
:33:40. > :33:44.again. That didn't work either. That is the problem, we've just gone
:33:45. > :33:53.through a time when managers have taken new posts. I want to see the
:33:54. > :33:59.FA... You wanted to have the job before? Yes, I said that to them and
:34:00. > :34:03.they said, no, it's a lack of experience. I said, you hire
:34:04. > :34:06.experienced guys and pay them a bulging and I couldn't do worse.
:34:07. > :34:13.Germany did it with Jurgen Klinsmann. Would you take it now,
:34:14. > :34:17.still? Absolutely. I would offer my experience, even if Gareth Southgate
:34:18. > :34:20.got it, for him to take players in with experience who have been there
:34:21. > :34:24.and done it, that has to be of benefit or so. There is a person out
:34:25. > :34:31.there that would say no. There's one here! LAUGHTER
:34:32. > :34:34.There is not person who would they know, anyone worth their weight in
:34:35. > :34:37.gold with a bit of confidence would love the challenge. You can't do any
:34:38. > :34:42.worse than what people have previously done. Sounds like a
:34:43. > :34:47.Shearer and Ferdinand double act. We will move onto the other match
:34:48. > :34:52.played today, a repeat of the 2012 final between Spain and Italy. The
:34:53. > :34:55.sixth meeting between the two side that the European Championships,
:34:56. > :35:01.making it the most played fixture the tournament's history.
:35:02. > :35:09.COMMENTATOR: It is being called a final played too soon. They met in
:35:10. > :35:14.the final of the European Championship four years ago and will
:35:15. > :35:19.meet in World Cup qualifying for 2018 in Russia. But today it is
:35:20. > :35:24.Paris, the perfect venue for the big occasion. Italy go back to plan a.
:35:25. > :35:31.Antonio Conte deciding to go with de Sciglio. Vicente del Bosque goes
:35:32. > :35:35.with the tried and tested, the same 11 that started all three of their
:35:36. > :35:41.group games. Danny, when the teams are looking at the pitch, conditions
:35:42. > :35:46.have changed with this very heavy rain. Morata was getting bear hugs
:35:47. > :35:57.from his Juventus team-mates from last season. I've always found it
:35:58. > :36:05.fascinating. Free kick. Juanfran. I think he got the ball. Alessandro
:36:06. > :36:11.Florenzi on this for Italy. Every white shirt is back.
:36:12. > :36:22.Perrella, good saves by de Gea! Excellent stops. A super ball in
:36:23. > :36:26.from Florenzi. Pelle, we have seen him do that so many times the
:36:27. > :36:33.Southampton, strong in the air. What a great save from de Gea. Spain are
:36:34. > :36:40.the great safe breakers. Italy a threat at the other end, as well.
:36:41. > :36:45.The header wasn't bad. Eder. Florenzi. Four in a box for Italy.
:36:46. > :36:51.Knocked dangerously to the back post. Giaccherini! De Gea again,
:36:52. > :36:55.brilliant save again. What an effort that was, super save onto the post.
:36:56. > :36:59.The Italian Stephanie in the ascendancy. Get some balls in the
:37:00. > :37:11.box and let Pelle use his power. The sun is coming out now. Morata
:37:12. > :37:16.with the flick. Nolito's touched a David Silva. Back to Nolito. Some
:37:17. > :37:23.danger here for the real danger now. Fabregas. De Sciglio made the block.
:37:24. > :37:25.The first bit of quality we have seen from the Spanish, but terrific
:37:26. > :37:55.defending. David Silva. Morata. Iniesta. Sergio Ramos is appealing
:37:56. > :37:59.Chiellini fouled him. The referee gestured to Sergio Ramos to get back
:38:00. > :38:06.to his feet. He has got his shirt. Pelle, Giaccherini. Bonucci has
:38:07. > :38:16.continued his run and joined Pelle and Eder. De Rossi. De Sciglio.
:38:17. > :38:22.Arriving late and just unable to guide it. A lovely late run into the
:38:23. > :38:23.box by Parolo. Good quality ball into the box and Parolo just
:38:24. > :38:35.couldn't get any time. De Rossi, knocked off by Pelle to
:38:36. > :38:44.Eder. Brings de Sciglio into play. Ramos! How lucky was he? He is a
:38:45. > :38:52.lucky boy, Ramos. A good ball across from de Sciglio. Italy have been the
:38:53. > :38:53.better side. Very, very watchable half an hour. Italy have had the
:38:54. > :39:03.better of it. Sergio Ramos on Pelle, free kick.
:39:04. > :39:06.Silly foul from Ramos. Didn't need to dive in. Doesn't need to, just
:39:07. > :39:22.keep goal side. Giaccherini has left it. Eder or
:39:23. > :39:27.Baluchi. Eder. De Gea again, and again, not the third time. Italy are
:39:28. > :39:35.in front! Chiellini scores. Deserved lead. Giorgio Chiellini with the
:39:36. > :39:40.goal. Richly deserved indeed. Silly foul from Ramos. Free kick on the
:39:41. > :39:44.edge of the box, always going to be a problem. Decent stop from de Gea,
:39:45. > :39:50.you could argue he could have got it away from goal. But how hungry and
:39:51. > :39:54.quick they are on the rebound. If it hadn't ended up in the back of the
:39:55. > :40:01.net, that was arguably a penalty. Yes. And if it had been given as
:40:02. > :40:04.such, de Gea probably would have got a red card. Chiellini with the goal,
:40:05. > :40:24.1-0 to Italy. Poor touch from Nolito. De Rossi.
:40:25. > :40:28.Nice little nutmeg. Eder, Pelle. Pelle Carizza, looks to his right
:40:29. > :40:34.that there is to be there. Eder is on the floor. Giaccherini now.
:40:35. > :40:40.Giaccherini, good try! This game could be out of sight, couldn't it?
:40:41. > :40:43.Giaccherini, what a shot that is, flying into the top corner.
:40:44. > :40:49.Unbelievable stop again from that man, de Gea. It is very unlikely
:40:50. > :40:57.that Spain will be dominated for 90 minutes in this game. Juanfran
:40:58. > :41:04.getting forward, blocked by Bonucci. Handball, free kick to Spain in a
:41:05. > :41:11.decent position. David Silva's ball in. Off the head of the Rossi for a
:41:12. > :41:12.corner. Yes, a good ball in. Done well in that near post position, De
:41:13. > :41:26.Rossi. Delivered to Maratha! -- Morata. It
:41:27. > :41:32.would have counted. Italians claiming a push on de Sciglio in the
:41:33. > :41:34.penalty area, but nothing given. It came off his shoulder. Fabregas for
:41:35. > :41:41.Spain. I tell you what, there was a little
:41:42. > :42:02.kick out, wasn't there? Yeah. A lovely flick. Eder, the pace to
:42:03. > :42:12.get away from Pique. He does. De Gea, once more! Having an
:42:13. > :42:16.unbelievable game, David de Gea. Without their goalkeeper, they would
:42:17. > :42:22.already be out of this game. I don't think I've ever seen a keeper better
:42:23. > :42:28.at one on ones than David de Gea. He stays so big for so long. Great
:42:29. > :42:36.touch. Brilliant touch. Pelle nicely done. Pique. The referee said play
:42:37. > :42:43.on. The Italians are absolutely incensed. Safe to say that is
:42:44. > :42:50.probably one of the poorest decisions I have seen. Pique has got
:42:51. > :42:52.away with one for. The referee hasn't seen it, by the way... Come
:42:53. > :43:04.on! That is a good ball. Eder.
:43:05. > :43:08.Giaccherini ahead of him. De Sciglio. Through de Gea, but not
:43:09. > :43:20.into his net. It could have been. Not much he hasn't seen and done,
:43:21. > :43:29.Vicente del Bosque. Maybe his last hurrah. Won back by David Silva.
:43:30. > :43:37.They are not done yet, Spain. Iniesta, great hit.
:43:38. > :43:43.Lovely smile from Buffon. Two wise old heads.
:43:44. > :43:58.Iniesta. Good save. Pique struck it through
:43:59. > :44:03.and struck it farm. Buffon again. Every sinew of this Italian defence
:44:04. > :44:07.is going to be tested now. The first time we have seen del Bosque out in
:44:08. > :44:13.his technical area, getting worried as the game draws on.
:44:14. > :44:25.Fabregas. That was a foul and the yellow card for Thiago Motta.
:44:26. > :44:30.Oh, yes. You can see why they are suggesting it could have been more
:44:31. > :44:46.than a yellow card. Pique! Buffon. Gianluigi Buffon, one
:44:47. > :45:00.of the greats, in a game saving stop. What a save.
:45:01. > :45:17.Brexit. That is a wonderful ball. Pelle in the middle. Pelle! Done and
:45:18. > :45:23.dusted! Italian revenge is sweet! Thrashed in Kiev in the final of
:45:24. > :45:28.Euro 2012. Italy have not sprayed out of Euro 2016. If there is one
:45:29. > :45:35.player who deserves a goal tonight, it is that man, Pelle, he has been
:45:36. > :45:39.absolutely sensational. He has worked tirelessly, held the ball up
:45:40. > :45:48.and made good runs, what a great finish. Thoroughly deserved. Good
:45:49. > :45:49.pick out from Darmian, a bit of good luck with the deflection. Smashes
:45:50. > :46:18.it, no chance for de Gea. Game over. After eight years, the champions of
:46:19. > :46:27.Europe have been dethroned. Italy march into the last eight of Euro
:46:28. > :46:30.2016 and deservedly so. It has finished in the Stade de France
:46:31. > :46:41.Italy two, Spain zero. Let's confirm the quarterfinal
:46:42. > :46:45.draw... Wales, the only home nation left in the competition, they play
:46:46. > :46:50.Belgium for a place in the semifinals in Lille on Friday night.
:46:51. > :46:53.We will also bring live coverage of the heavyweight clash between
:46:54. > :47:04.Germany and Italy on Saturday evening. Tonight's Iceland heroes
:47:05. > :47:07.take on France. Not many great players in their side, but
:47:08. > :47:11.beautifully organised and tactically perfect.
:47:12. > :47:17.Spot on for the majority of that game, every single player knew their
:47:18. > :47:24.job. We will have a bit of fun this time. He is a character! What a
:47:25. > :47:32.strike that was! That is the second goal of the year. That passion
:47:33. > :47:35.transfers to the team. He is on the sideline kicking every ball and the
:47:36. > :47:40.players know if you do not produce, he will be down your throat at
:47:41. > :47:43.half-time. Interesting to see if he goes for three at the back at
:47:44. > :47:49.Chelsea. He made a good Spain side looked very ordinary today, they
:47:50. > :47:52.were fantastic. Overall, very impressive and nobody fancied them
:47:53. > :47:56.at the beginning but they do now. That is it, England have been beaten
:47:57. > :48:03.by Iceland, a country with more volcanoes than professional football
:48:04. > :48:08.players. Sweet dreams! Only one space left in the
:48:09. > :48:14.quarterfinals of Euro 2016. Will it be England or Iceland to try to take
:48:15. > :48:27.down the hosts in their own capital City? Sterling, is he brought down?
:48:28. > :48:33.The referee says, he is. And it is the perfect start. Help the cross,
:48:34. > :48:41.goal, Iceland is level! Flicked off, goal. Sigthorsson. Iceland have
:48:42. > :48:47.turned it round! England at the moment looked like a mess. Harry
:48:48. > :48:54.Kane, saved. It hits Hart.
:48:55. > :48:58.Another massive let off. Never thought it would come to this for
:48:59. > :49:02.England. The Iceland fans have started the celebrations. It has
:49:03. > :49:04.missed. England out of the European Now some of Shirley's
:49:05. > :49:06.trademark clear direction. Which way, which way?
:49:07. > :49:09.Oh, left.
