Put simply, this week has been a bit of a disaster for England.
Britain's decision to leave the EU has thrown the country into chaos and sent the value of the pound sterling plummeting to depths not seen in over three decades.
And on Monday night, England were dumped out of the European Championships having been both out-thought and out-played by an Icelandic team whose goalkeeper was previously a filmmaker who directed Iceland's Eurovision entry four years ago. Yes, really:

In the wake of arguably England's most embarrassing footballing failure, Roy Hodgson has already stepped down from his role as head coach after recording just three wins in his three tournaments as England boss.
But fans won't be satisfied until everyone involved in Monday night's mess pays for their crimes, with many (unsurprisingly) calling on England captain Wayne Rooney to follow Lionel Messi's lead and retire from international football.

For many, Rooney's involvement in the team was symbolic of England's failure to utilise their best players.
It seemed that the Manchester United captain was being shoe-horned into a team in which he didn't fit purely on what he did a few years ago, with more in-form players forced to watch the catastrophe unfold from the sidelines.

But for now it looks like England fans will have to put up with the 30-year-old for a bit longer.
