England vs Iceland
The match has been described as one of England's worst defeats ever. Former footballer and Talksport presenter Stan Collymore , who was commentating on the game, panned the England team, reserving special criticism for goalkeeper Joe Hart and captain Wayne Rooney . Former England international and BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer described it as the worst performance he had ever seen from an England team. The defeat was called England's most shocking since losing 1–0 to the United States in the 1950 World Cup.
The English team was viciously mocked by the press who described it as a "second exit from Europe", referencing the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union just four days earlier. The English media called the result a national embarrassment, criticising the team's fitness and calling the fans unsportsmanlike. Consequently, England manager Roy Hodgson announced his resignation following the match.
