Furious Rio Ferdinand blames England’s terrible Euro 2016 on one thing

Same old bloody England.

There is no hiding from the fact that Roy Hodgson's side have been utterly woeful. A below-par Euro 2016 in which England scraped through the group stages culminated in one of the worst results in the country's proud footballing history. And that's saying a fucking lot. England were outplayed, outrun and outfoxed by European footballing minnows Iceland who have a population the same size as Leicester. The tiny island nation were simply better organised and more well-drilled than England with their embarrassment of footballing talent. But former England captain Rio Ferdinand said we should have seen this latest and greatest debacle coming a mile off. Despite Hodgson's side's 100 per cent record in qualifying, he came into the tournament without a nailed on, best starting XI. https://twitter.com/rioferdy5/status/747534365123559425 https://twitter.com/rioferdy5/status/747534645764427777 Ferdinand wasn't the only one, and many fans were sticking the boot in on England's tactics throughout the tournament... https://twitter.com/JPercyTelegraph/status/747533015027417090 https://twitter.com/tom_hesketh1/status/747540490950705152 https://twitter.com/TVKev/status/747538847978889216 https://twitter.com/_OfficialAgent_/status/747537403880038400 https://twitter.com/Nikhil_Saglani/status/747532993082892289 https://twitter.com/Stuart_Watson/status/747531504654364674 https://twitter.com/AdamOsper/status/747528392661143553 https://twitter.com/LFCFansCorner/status/747527229656141824 https://twitter.com/Football_P/status/747521499540656128 https://twitter.com/leeds_ben/status/747541176434233344
