Iceland stun England in one of greatest ever shocks
Nice: England were dealt a humiliating 2-1 defeat by min**ws Iceland on Monday as Roy Hodgson´s side crashed out of Euro 2016 in one of the most stunning upsets in the history of the game.
Ragnar Sigurdsson cancelled out Wayne Rooney´s fourth-minute opener before Kolbeinn Sigthorsson´s tame shot squirmed past England goalkeeper Joe Hart for an 18th-minute winner. Three days on from Britain´s vote to leave the European Union, England followed the country´s lead by exiting Europe, their quest for a first title since the 1966 World Cup doomed to continue. It ranked alongside their 1-0 loss to the part-timers of the United States at the 1950 World Cup and sent Iceland, appearing at their first major tournament, into a glamour quarter-final with hosts France. England manager Roy Hodgson is **w almost certain to lose his job, with Football Association chairman Greg Dyke having said recently that the team would have to "do well" in France for him to be offered a new contract. Ironically, Hodgson´s fate was sealed by his former protege Lars Lagerback -- Iceland´s joint coach alongside Heimir Hallgrimsson -- who began his coaching career under the Englishman´s tutelage in Sweden in the late 1970s. As expected, Hodgson made six changes to his starting XI at a muggy Stade de Nice, which included a recall for Raheem Sterling. The Manchester City forward was criticised for some insipid group-stage displays, but he made an excellent start, racing onto Daniel Sturridge´s fine pass and drawing a foul from Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson. Rooney planted the penalty into the bottom-left corner to crown his 115th England appearance -- which tied David Beckham´s record for an outfield player -- with a 53rd international goal. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Iceland stun England in one of greatest ever shocks || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
