Leave it to Gary Lineker to get one more below-the-belt sucker-punch in on the England national team.
In case you were unaware, England were sent crashing out of Euro 2016 in the round of 16 stage at the hands of tournament minnows Iceland.
While the Icelanders put in an inspirational performance during the 2-1 win to claim one of the biggest ever scalps, the Three Lions didn’t exactly play well.

Iceland were drawn against hosts France in the quarter-finals of the tournament and England fans (and the Irish, as the Boys In Green were knocked out by France) were tuning in to see what might have been if their team wasn’t sent home early.
France went 2-0 very early in the game thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud and Paul Pogba and were generally very dominant against the Icelanders. Payet and Griezmann added the third and fourth goals just before half-time.
Recognising how well the French were playing against Iceland, Match of the Day host Gary Lineker couldn’t stop himself from getting a wee dig in on the England team.
Can't see why we were so critical of England. Look how difficult France are finding it playing against Iceland. 🙄
