Outsiders Iceland have sensationally beaten England 2-1 in the round of 16 of EURO 2016. The European Championship newcomers have proceeded to the quarter final in their first ever appearance at the tournament. Hosts France await the underdogs from an island with a population of around 323,000, and the match will take place at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on Sunday (21:00 CEST, live on ZDF).
Wayne Rooney put England in front from the penalty spot with four minutes gone, but Iceland had turned the game in their favour within just 14 minutes: Ragnar Sigurdsson (6) and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson (18) with the goals. Then Iceland showed great heart as they defended valiantly to see the game out. England manager Roy Hodgson announced his resignation in a press conference immediately after the game.
