England 1:2 Iceland: Fairy tale continues as woeful England get knocked out.
In what is proving to be the biggest upset of EURO 2016 so far, England has been knocked out in dramatic fashion by Iceland.
Wayne Rooney put England in the lead from the penalty spot after 4 minutes when winger Raheem Sterling was clumsily tackled by the Icelandic goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson. Pundits who believed that this was going to be a routine win and even a rout for England were shell shocked a minute and a half later when Gylfi Sigurdsson smashed in from close range after a long throw.
Iceland completed the turnaround in the 18th minute when Sigthorsson's effort found its way into the net after poor goalkeeping from Joe Hart.
England threw all their players forward in an effort to regain control but could only create few chances which they couldn't convert as Iceland held on to claim an historic victory.
To add insult to injury, head coach Roy Hodgson has announced his resignation as England boss. Times are really hard for the English
