Sky Sports England were heavy favourites going into their game against Iceland, and despite failing to top their group in the qualifiers, it was a kind draw for Roy Hodgson’s men.
Wayne Rooney, Jamie Vardy et al were all in high spirits before the game, with the skipper’s son even pictured on the beach in a Vardy shirt.
The game kicked off and immediate England won a penalty – and it all looked like it was going so well when Rooney scored.
Then, classic England struck – and they conceded not one, but two goals.
Obviously the internet was in fine form, from abuse directed to Hodgson, to jokes about why Mum goes to Iceland – oh, and the classic question of just why Harry Kane takes set pieces, and we’ve got the best of it…
One nil up…

Once England went 1-0 down, the jokes came thick and fast…
Sorry we're getting outplayed by Iceland.
Iceland.

Classic England…
Hodgson said last week that England "will make someone pay soon". Looking forward to World Cup qualifying.

3 – It's been 3 days since England last looked this embarrassed in Europe. Brexit.

Joe Hart said the other day he's had nothing to do at #EURO2016. He does realise he's supposed to stop the f*cking ball?

A quick reminder about the population size of Iceland…
Just a reminder, #ISL have a population of 330,000.

Kane’s free kicks are as good as his corners…

Hodgson, like Wenger & Van Gaal – analogue manager in digital age.
Embarrassing. #ENGICE— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 27, 2016

Well done Iceland…
The commentary has been so utterly patronising towards Iceland.
