The press have already damned Rooney as a vicious chav, so he's got nothing to lose! As for Hargreaves, I've enjoyed being proved wrong about him. He's our new official National Football Idol. This time next year, we'll all be talking in a bizarre hybrid Canadian/German/Scouse accent, you mark my words... Tom – totally agree.

As for Hargreaves, I’ve enjoyed being proved wrong about him. He’s our new official National Football Idol. This time next year, we’ll all be talking in a bizarre hybrid Canadian/German/Scouse accent, you mark my words…

Hargreaves was a revelation - I've questioned his value for quite some time, but in the Ecuador game he played really well, and made me realize there might be a reason for his place in the team, and on Saturday he was just brilliant- he's finally playing in a position he's happy with, and he was a real asset.

They should have started anew with another big-name coach, but without renewing his £2m contract every time we underperform in a tournament.

The man just can't step up to the big stage (not for England anyway). The moment it went to extra time, I texted friends "here come the penalties ... out go England" :( The worrying thing of course was that everyone texted back "yep". I'm gutted! Good riddance Ericsson, Close the door on your way out. But where from here? McLaren isn't the answer, he's a terrible coach. Teesside breathed a huge sigh of relief when he was offered, and took, the big job. I have mentioned repeatedly over the campaign the words “Lampard”, “poor” and “nervous”, in the same sentence.
