Never mind Joe Hart’s wrists being as solid as Easter egg chocolate, the performance of the entire team against Iceland was pretty shambolic.
Passes went askew, chances were few and fair between and when they did arrive, they were weak and poor.
Put simply, they deserve to go out to Iceland – a country with a population the same as Leicester.
And speaking of Leicester, the tweets of Gary Lineker – one of its favourite sons – summed up the thoughts of every Englishman as their national football team recorded one of the most embarrassing results in its history.
It started seconds after Iceland’s equaliser, scored so soon after Wayne Rooney’s fourth minute penalty that he didn’t have a chance to acknowledge England’s one bright point in a dismal night.
Didn't have a chance to tweet. Bloody Nora!

And when they went behind…
Speechless!

He followed this with a Brexit gag…
Seems we're desperate to get out of Europe in all ways.

But this really wasn’t much of a laughing matter for England supporters – supporters that had expected to see Jamie Vardy make an entry much sooner than he did. Eventually he did make an appearance.
About bloody time. Come on Vardy make something happen.

At least most of us can switch the telly off and go to bed. Not Gary…
Can't wait to do the fucking highlights show!

And at full-time came this…
The worst defeat in our history. England beaten by a country with more volcanoes than professional footballers. Well played Iceland.

Spot on. And to think that some of us thought we had a chance of winning the whole thing?
