Hardly surprising a team full of Spurs players came up short in the big moments. 

Very poorly managed though. Too many of the wrong players in the wrong positions. Playing 4-3-3 but not taking any wingers in the squad. Rooney now an absolutely donkey shoehorned into a position he can't play and to the detriment of the team when he should be pensioned off. Continuing with Kane when he had 2 quality strikers in Sturridge and Vardy so stuck one of them on the wing and the other on the bench. The midfield was so dire that was even the name of one of them. 

England managers never seem to be brave enough to bench established players. It was the same when it was obvious Gerrard should be on the bench instead of Lampard.

Iceland are a very well coached team and have played well in every match so far, and not forgetting they qualified ahead of Netherlands so they never were the no hopers they have been made out to be. They won every ball in the air and every 50-50, just so much more desire. Expect to see some of them get Premier League moves off the back of this too.
