Before Israels win over Russia on saturday the papers were reporting how Steve McClaren should do the decent thing and resign as England manager. If they stood by their conviction of McClaren not being up to the job, how can a game that he had nothing to do with (Israel V Russia) change the way the papers see him. If England beat Croatia by 2-0, we'll have won the group. Will the FA still sack him ?, i doubt it. Should the country get behind him and his squad of players.
I think we should get behind the country, but lower our expectation of winning the tournament. England aren't as bad as we make out when things are going wrong. On the other hand we're not as good as we make out when things are going well.
