We lost to Italy and Uruguay. In 2010 we drew with USA and Algeria in the first two games. Which is worse?
2 points is better than zero !
Anyways Roy's name is in the record books for all time.

Yes but the opposition is much better and has to be taken into account, the same way you ignore the wins against minnows in qualifying when people use those games in their arguments.
Personally I see a lot of progression, even if that hasn't yet manifested itself in better results. We play a more attacking, dynamic system that I like to see. We have a lot of young players that need a bit more experience.
I think this world cup has come about 18 months too soon for this team, and believe they will be more of a force at the next Euros, IF the FA have the balls to hold their nerve and not sack Roy.
Would be stunned if Italy or Uruguay reach the semi let alone the final!
I thought we would scrape out of the group then lose second round yet the way we capitulated against one ok team Italy then last night against a 1 man team was poor.The opening second half minutes last night were truly x rated Sunday league stuff as England went into free fall and should have conceded 2 or 3 during those mad minutes.
Roy was an ok club manager in England yet at international level he is way out of his depth.
More chance than USA or Algeria did last time round. They are both without doubt far better teams we managed draws against last time.Would be stunned if Italy or Uruguay reach the semi let alone the final!

Other than when he managed the likes of Switzerland.....
Let's also ignore his club record outside of England.
Yes, and after that spell we were the better team.
Over the game we had more possession, 3 times as many shots on target than the two they did.
The difference was down to one player on their team being a superior finisher to ours.
You seem to be judging the whole game on the result alone. Whilst the result it ultimately what matters when analysing the performance of the team you cant ignore the rest and just focus on a ten minute spell.
Uruguay as I pointed out were not very good whatsoever yet we went sideways a lot then back home then sideways again played at pedestrian pace.Now if you think we played well or ok then that is your choice however I thought it was abysmal.
Roy became the first England manager since 1958 to be eliminated from the group stage(miracles aside )
Roy became the first ever England manager to lose both opening games!
That must be the progress some of you believe .
Not saying we played well, but you are saying its our worst performance ever. Our performances were worse in the last World cup, yet because the teams were poorer we managed to pick up a couple of draws.
and on tuesday,the gormless one, will be trying for his "hat-trick"(match-ball).
Find where I said worst performance ever?
Roy entered the record books which the media have gone to great lengths to tell the world,I never even knew until I learned it from the media.
