England vs Iceland 1-2 All Goals & Extended Highlights HD
NICE, France (CBSNewYork/AP) Icelands soccer announcer has gone viral again.
After losing his mind when Iceland scored a last-second goal against Austria to move on from the group stage, Gudmundur Benediktsson stepped up his game after Iceland stunned England 2-1 to move on to the European Championships quarterfinals.
You can leave Europe! You can go wherever the h**l you want! he said about England, referencing the United Kingdom voting to leave the European Union.
Obviously, Benediktsson became a hit on social media after the call.
As for England, the defeat meant more humiliation on the big stage and surely another inquest into why a team of supposedly talented players failed again.
David Cameron stepped down as British Prime Minister after the result of last weeks referendum that unsettled the country and the whole of Europe. England coach Roy Hodgson did the same after overseeing yet another humiliating campaign in a major tournament.
Now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress of this young, hungry and extremely talented group of players, Hodgson said. They have been fantastic.
For English player and current BBC Sports analyst Gary Lineker called it the worst defeat in our history.
England beaten by a country with more volcanoes than professional footballers. Well played Iceland, Lineker tweeted.
The English have still never won a knockout-stage game abroad in the European Championship in eight attempts and havent won a match beyond the group stage of a major tournament since 2006.
This defeat will probably go down as Englands biggest humiliation since losing 1-0 to the United States in 1950 World Cup.
Iceland will face France in the quarterfinals on Sunday.
