It's shocking that Milner and Sterling are the only wide players that Hodgson picked in the squad.
Because we'll need width to get around Iceland's park the bus tactics.
So, I'd play a 4-2-3-1: Hart; Walker, Smalling, Cahill, Rose; Dier, Rooney; Milner, Alli, Sterling; Sturridge.
Sturridge can drop deep, then Rooney and Alli can run unmarked into the box onto a Milner, Sterling, Rose or Walker cross.
If that doesn't work then just throw on Kane and Vardy for Sturridge and Alli in the 2nd half, and just constantly cross the ball loads.

'Rooney and Alli can run unmarked into the box...'

A timely reminder that us the fans are not the tactical geniuses we think we are.
You do realise England are not playing Iceland U10 girls' blind XI?
I'm not the only one who sees that's there's not much difference between Clyne & Walker am I as their pretty interchangeable .
I bet he now wished he DID pick Andy Carrroll!! I have concerns that this could be like the Slovakia game all over again!!
Italy up 1-0
I thought that this Italian team were supposed to be poor. At present they are give Spain a spanking.
Italy are looking very strong. It could have been two or three and game over if not for a couple of good saves. Looking forward to see what Spain do different in the second half.
Come on England make me a believer
Wooooohooo stirling dropping was actually good news haha
Cardinal sin.
Conceding just after scoring.
