F*ck!!!

Sorry. Yeah. Costa Rica. They should be 2-0 up. Definite penalty.

That was certainly a shove in the back worthy of a penalty.

It's laughable they got refs from each continent despite the fact only the European and South American leagues are top level. You can't go from reffing in places like Qatar and Cameroon to the World Cup.

We are officially #out. Same old story, pissing myself here. Linekar then:

"Can't wait for Euro 2016" with monotonous delivery.

Amusing.

Arguments that crop up every time we go out of a tournament:

- Too many foreigners in the English league
- We need a foreign manager
- No we need an English manager
- English players need to move abroad to better their game
- Manager was unproven
- Change things from top to bottom
- Players are on £100k per week to play like that

Etc. Don't know why we can't just say we ended up in a tough group (because we weren't in the top 8 and thus not seeded) and lost to better teams.

Still think the players are there.
