Chei......It’s all over! England have been eliminated from Euro 2016 by Iceland. For the second time in a week, England suffer an ignominious exit from Europe. They’ve been awful tonight and thoroughly deserved to lose. Hats off to Iceland, though. They’re a limited team, but played to their own strengths and thoroughly deserved their win. Congrats joor to Iceland
Roy
Hodgson has resigned as England manager after his team were beaten 2-1
by Iceland to seal their exit from Euro 2016. Announcing his resignation
immediately after the final whistle in the post-match press
conference this evening, the 68 year old said;
"My contract was always up after the Euros so now is the time for someone else to oversee the progress of this young, hungry, extremely talented group of players.
'They
have been fabulous and they have done everything that was asked of
them. When I arrived I was told players didn’t turn up to play for their
country or pulled out at the last minute.
'I have not seen any of that.These players love to play and their commitment has been exemplary.
'My staff have asked me to speak on their behalf. They came with me as part of my coaching team and they will leave with me.
'Finally
I would like to thank all my support staff, the players, the FA and of
course the fans. It has been a fabulous journey these past four years.
We tried.
'I
woud like to thank you the media for the support you have given me. I
am sorry it has had to end in this way with another exit but these
things happen, and all I can do is wish everybody the very best and hope
that you will still see an England team in the future in a major finals
with the success that we have been unable to achieve.'
