Joe Hart was always tempting fate when, after England’s 0-0 draw with Slovakia, the goalkeeper said: “I haven’t had anything to do in the whole tournament to be honest.”
He’s had plenty to do in England’s round of 16 clash with Iceland but, unfortunately for the Manchester City stopper, he’s not exactly covered himself in glory.
After taking an early lead through a Wayne Rooney penalty, England were punished by a long throw and Iceland drew level.
And, just over 10 minutes later, Iceland took the lead when a Kolbeinn Sigþórsson shot from the edge of the area dribbled past Hart’s left hand and crept into the net.
Of course the internet had its way with him.

It's surprising how weak Joe Hart's wrists are considering he's a massive wanker

I blame Head & Shoulders. Joe Hart’s wrists would be stronger if he was spending more time brushing dandruff off his shoulders. #ENG
