England vs Iceland
The match has been described as one of England's worst defeats ever.[26] 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.[27] Former England international and BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer described it as the worst performance he had ever seen from an England team.[28] The defeat was called England's most shocking since losing 1–0 to the United States in the 1950 World Cup.[29]
The English team was viciously mocked by the press who described it as a "second exit from Europe", as the United Kingdom had voted to leave the European Union just four days earlier. As a result, the match was seen as a national embarrassment.[30] The English media criticized the team to be unfit and the fans to be unsportsmanlike.[31]
