Monday night’s 2-1 defeat to Iceland will go down as one of the darkest days in the history of the English national team.
Roy Hodgson stood down in the immediate aftermath of defeat in Nice, a loss which is arguable the nation's worst ever.
England being dumped out of a major international tournament without making a real impact is nothing new, and as ever the Three Lions' exite evoked a widespread mixture of despair and Schadenfreude. Here is how Twitter reacted on a harrowing night for England.
Iceland coach (& part-time dentist) Heimir Hallgrimsson walks in & says to Iceland reporters in front row: 'How big is your travel budget?'

The worst defeat in our history. England beaten by a country with more volcanoes than professional footballers. Well played Iceland.

Oh we are getting Glenn Hoddle's reaction now. Next up the reaction of a paving stone in Blackpool.

Southgate as daft a contender for #ENG job as Moyes was for United role. Even his U21s flunked at last year's Euros.

Hodgson, the only man in England with a coherent plan for leaving Europe.

Joy for Iceland, embarrassment for England.
