Yesterday was the prime example, they had literally written off Iceland's chances despite them beating Holland (x2), Turkey and Czechs in qualifying for the tournament, and going unbeaten in their group.

We are NOT a great team but at the very least we expect to see some desire, players giving everything & a manager that knows about football.
ANY country should expect that.
I don't know anyone who thinks we a great team but we should have got past Iceland.
