Roy Hodgson quits as England are humiliated

Iceland 2 England 1: Iceland’s fairytale took on new unimaginable, unbelievable, proportions as they produced one of the greatest shocks in European football history by knocking England out of Euro 2016 in Nice to end Roy Hodgson’s reign as England boss.

Not even a Wayne Rooney penalty after only five minutes could deter this tiny nation of heroes, who have never been to a major championship before and whose entire population would comfortably fit into an outer suburb in London.

Instead instant replies from outstanding defender Ragnar Sigurdsson and striker Kolbein Sigthorsson — together with an abject, nervous display from England’s overpaid and overhyped stars, who were booed off the pitch, sent them into a quarter-final against France in Paris on a wave of ecstasy.
