Would big Sam be so bad? If we accept we don't have a world beating squad (and aren't likely to in the future) you'd expect him to organise them well, play them in their correct positions and make sensible choices. I reckon he'd be nailed on to get us to Quarter Finals which would seem acceptable for where we are right now. Hodgson just looked completely lost, changing his mind from one moment to the next. I doubt you'd get that with Allardyce.
Yes. Big Sam would be so bad.
"If we accept we don't have a world beating squad" - why do we have to accept that?
Before the tournament they were being talked up as a "golden generation". 4 games doesn't suddenly make them bad players. Alli, Kane, Dier, Barkley, Sturridge, Stones, Smalling, Butland etc all have limitless upside. Just need a schedule which produces fit and fresh players when the big tournaments start. And a manager who can devise a formation and tactics which gets the best from them.
I'd be shocked if you could find one quote from any media source that described them "as a golden generation" or did you just mean people on twitter ?
Without a revamp of the system from the very top instead of just snap sacking every manager nothing will change and we'll continue to fail at major tournaments.

My thoughts exactly, replicated on Monday night too.
Don't get the 'no foreign manager' thinking either. People are saying that they have been rubbish, have a look at the recent English managers ffs.
Fk it, have big Sam, far more forward thinking than given credit for.

Another plus is when he grows a moustache he looks a bit like Harry Bassett England manager and I can picture him doing that half time team talk when they were "2-0 down to the ****ing Mexicans"

Did Lewandowski choose to go second in the shootout?! If he did he should be stripped of the captaincy.

You don't choose to go first or second if you win the toss? Bit odd that.

Portugal have led for just 19 minutes all tournament. They have yet to win a game in 90 minutes. They are in the semi-finals.

I thought there were two tosses and Lewandowski won both, at least from the pictures I saw.
After the second toss the ref points to RL and he then points at Ronaldo. The ref then turns to RL and says to him 'they go first,' and he nods. Very strange decision if that was indeed the case.
Some further reading from Prozone on penalties here:
www.ksi.is/media/landslidsvefur/Hvernig-er-best-ad-taka-og-verja-vitaspyrnur.docx
Some interesting 'facts' such as: "the success rates for the first and fifth penalties were far higher than those recorded for the second, third and fourth. The first penalties were scored 81.2% of the time, with the fifth kicks having the strongest rate of success at 87.5% and the other three mustering an average of just 61.5%."

Wales doing great with a clear game plan. Makes Hodgson look even more utterly useless than he does already.
