England scored an ignominious double on Monday, becoming the first country to be dumped out of Europe twice in a week and in the process losing both its prime minister and national soccer team manager. Just days after English voters steered the United Kingdom toward a “Brexit” from the European Union, England provided another shock, crashing out of the Euro 2016 soccer competition to Iceland – the smallest country ever to appear in a major tournament. Pundits ranked the defeat for a country that claims to have invented the game and is ranked 11th in the world among the worst since it lost to the amateurs of the United States in the 1950 World Cup.
