Match 3: Winners Group B vs 3rd Place Group A/C/D

England vs Iceland
The match has been described as one of England's worst defeats ever. 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. Former England international and BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer described it as the worst performance he had ever seen from an England team. The defeat was called England's most shocking since losing 1–0 to the United States in the 1950 World Cup.
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. The English media criticized the team to be unfit and the fans to be unsportsmanlike.
