England Suffer Humiliating Euro 2016 Exit
England Stunned by Iceland
England have crashed out of Euro 2016 in humiliating fashion, losing 2-1 to minnows Iceland in the round of 16. The defeat represents one of the most embarrassing nights in English football history and will heap further pressure on manager Roy Hodgson.
Iceland's Fairy-Tale Campaign
Iceland, ranked 34th in the world, have been the surprise package of Euro 2016. They have played with great heart and determination, and their victory over England is a testament to their quality. Iceland will now face France in the quarter-finals, and they will be confident of causing another upset.
England's Miserable Night
England were lackluster throughout the match and failed to create any clear-cut chances. They fell behind to a Ragnar Sigurdsson goal in the second half, and Wayne Rooney's penalty was not enough to salvage the game. England's performance was a far cry from their impressive showing in qualifying, and they will need to regroup quickly ahead of the 2018 World Cup.
Hodgson Under Pressure
Roy Hodgson's position as England manager is now under serious threat. The defeat to Iceland is the latest in a long line of disappointing results, and the pressure is mounting on him to resign. Hodgson has been in charge of England for four years, but he has failed to win a major trophy and his team have often played uninspiring football. The FA will now need to decide whether to keep Hodgson in charge or to appoint a new manager ahead of the World Cup.
