Iceland crush England
Nightmare for Hodgson's men
England suffered a humiliating exit from Euro 2016 as they went out to minnows Iceland in the last 16 in Nice.
Wayne Rooney gave Roy Hodgsons side a fourth-minute lead from the penalty spot at the Allianz Riviera on Monday but two goals in 12 minutes turned the game on its head.
Ragnar Sigurdsson and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson struck for Iceland, a nation of just 330,000 people, to set up a quarter-final against hosts France.
England's exit is one of the biggest shocks in European Championship history and will lead to fresh calls for Hodgson to resign.
It is also a major setback for English football, which has been trying to rebuild its reputation after a series of disappointing performances at major tournaments.
Hodgson's side were booed off the pitch at the end of the game and will now face a long inquest into their failure.
The defeat will also raise questions about the future of Hodgson, who is now under increasing pressure to step down.
England's exit from Euro 2016 is a major disappointment and will leave a lasting scar on the nation's footballing psyche.
