Iceland Stuns England in Historic Euro 2016 Upset

Icelandic Fairy Tale Continues with Quarterfinal Berth

England Eliminated in Shocking 2-1 Defeat

In a stunning upset, the tiny nation of Iceland defeated footballing giant England 2-1 in the Round of 16 of the Euro 2016 tournament. The victory marked a historic moment for Iceland, as the nation of just 330,000 people secured a quarterfinal berth for the first time in any major competition.

England, who were heavily favored, took the lead early in the match through a penalty kick by captain Wayne Rooney. However, Iceland responded with two goals of their own, courtesy of Ragnar Sigurdsson and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson. England failed to find an equalizer in the remaining time, resulting in a shocking elimination from the tournament.

The result sent shockwaves through the footballing world, as Iceland continued their remarkable fairy-tale run. The team, which had never qualified for a major tournament before 2016, had already stunned the world by topping their group in the first round.

England's elimination has drawn criticism for manager Roy Hodgson, who was accused of conservative tactics and a lack of creativity in his team's play. Iceland, meanwhile, has been hailed for their defensive resilience and counter-attacking prowess.
