Another major summer football tournament is over and it was fitting that Portugal won it. The tournament wasn\u2019t a classic, nor was it of a high standard, but there were a select few who managed to set the bar particularly low. Here we look at five major disappointments of Euro 2016.<\/p>\n

England, Roy Hodgson, the FA<\/h4>\n

Nothing went England\u2019s way in the tournament and nor should it have done. They were a disgrace, both on and off the field and you could hear the celebrations across Europe when they were eliminated. The \u201cEngland stars\u201d were poor, Hodgson couldn\u2019t organise a knees-up in a brewery and the FA don\u2019t have a clue what they\u2019re doing next. The expectations weren\u2019t even that great this time and they still couldn\u2019t deliver. Utterly useless.<\/p>\n

\"roy<\/p>\n

Thomas Muller<\/h4>\n

For such a fine player and a prolific goalscorer at the World Cup, Muller was unable to find the back of the net in the tournament and has still never scored at a European Championships. He had plenty of chances, but just couldn\u2019t convert. A great player, but this tournament just didn\u2019t go his way.<\/p>\n

\"Thomas<\/p>\n

Olivier Giroud<\/h4>\n

Giroud scored 3 goals in the tournament which shows that he wasn\u2019t a total flop, but he couldn\u2019t be less clinical if he tried. 3 goals is not good enough for the number of chances that were created for him. He did a good job in place of Karim Benzema, and although not advocating Benzema as the replacement, you\u2019d wonder if France would have won the final if they\u2019d had a different striker. His moment of the tournament was when the ball fell kindly for him and he set off for goal. By the time he\u2019d lined up to shoot, Benedikt Howedes and coastal erosion had caught up with him and it was eventually blocked. No wonder Arsene Wenger is desperately looking for alternative goal scoring options.<\/p>\n

Austria<\/h4>\n

They were unbeaten in qualifying and were in the perceived weakest group in the competition. Three games later and they were eliminated from the tournament. David Alaba was playing miles out of position and the dark horses for many pundits were sent home having made very little impact in France.<\/p>\n

Marc Wilmots<\/h4>\n

England managers of years gone past will be sympathetic towards Wilmots, however the Belgian golden generation massively underachieved. There\u2019s still time for them to win something, but it won\u2019t be under Wilmots\u2019 management. He lost the dressing room in the tournament and they were tactically inept at times.<\/p>\n
