ENGLAND HAVEN’T RECEIVED much sympathy after last night’s shock defeat to Iceland, least of all from their Group B opponents Wales.
England were 2-1 winners against the Welsh in the group stages at Euro 2016, but both teams advanced to the last 16 of the tournament nevertheless.

After defeating Northern Ireland at the weekend to book a quarter-final meeting with Belgium this Friday, the Welsh squad sat down last night at their training base in Dinard to watch England attempt to join them in the final eight by overcoming Iceland.
However, Roy Hodgson’s side failed miserably in Nice, as Iceland recorded a stunning 2-1 win to set up a clash with hosts France on Sunday night.
How did the Wales players and staff feel about England’s surprise exit? This video — which was originally posted by Capital FM DJ Polly James, before later being deleted — shows that they weren’t too upset to see the back of their neighbours.
Only the people of Iceland enjoyed their win against England more than the Wales squad did
