Maybe time for a younger manager and give them time to grow the... oh f*** it, who am I kidding? They'll pick some old duffer who'll play like it was 1966 and screw around with the team so no one has a clue what to do.
Maybe tempt the magic one? Or Pochetinno. I don't care of the manager isn't English: I just want him/her to win something!

On a serious note I'm not sure any manager in the world can get a winning side out of our fundamentally flawed football structure. By the time the players get to the point of being available it's usually far too late. There is no consistency across the levels and coaches are rarer than hen's teeth. Iceland has 185 FIFA A-licence coaches, England 1190, only 6 times as many for a population 160 times greater. Spain, with a similar population to England has over 13000. Even our most talented players therefore arrive in the international arena essentially clueless.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

How much did you win?
Makes me wonder what 'Arry would have done over the last 3 tournaments.

Why do the English persist in believing they will win?

2 world wars and one world cup, doo-dah, doo-dah...
The same reason anyone believes they will win I suppose.

I think it's reasonable to expect England to beat Iceland. Seeing as all ofvengland players play in the pl and a lot of Iceland players play on the lower leagues of English football and Iceland don't even have a professional team in their league

Who wants to play France at their home anyway?
A loss to them would have lingered longer.

Seriously, you should've kept Sven-Göran Eriksson.
But then again, winning with that team would have been a wonder of biblical proportions.

If by "political intrigue and sexuality" you mean "cheap drivel written by morons who understand nothing about the world outside of American couch-potato land", then yup.

Have you ever actually read one of the books or watched a season of the show?
To not like it is one thing, but to be that hyperbolic kinda makes you look like the moron.

0. Yes, I have. If you still watch it and do not realise that it's turned into drivel, you should have your fanboi levels checked, because they're getting dangerously high.
1. I didn't use hyperbole. There is no "political intrigue" in the show (e.g. the things with the sparrow, and the "man" are poorly written drivel, pure and simple), and the "sexuality" is no more than "tits and @rses" titillation, to keep fanbois watching.
1+. As is so often the case with TV shows with US involvement, the characters have long since started to change character and become completely different people, every five minutes.
1++. An example of the mindless writing that make such drivel unwatchable to me: the "see" and "sea" thing, which was used to make some meaningful mindless point. Think about it; what does it mean? The mindless writer obviously didn't realise how completely moronic he was making himself look.
1++.2 The show is infested with (let's be gentle and call them "gaffes", shall we) as bad as or worse than that, of different flavours and in different fields (it's not just politics, human nature, characterisations, and linguistics that they appear to have no knowledge of or abilities with). It has so many shortfalls that it's unwatchable to anyone who does actually know how anything works and/or how to write about it.
