These were the best jokes after the very late confirmation that England would face Iceland as both teams progress to the knockout stage of Euro 2016 following Arnór Ingvi Traustason’s 94th minute strike in their final group game.
Roy Hodgson’s side were all set to play Portugal on Monday before the goal that saw the Icelanders leapfrog Cristiano Ronaldo’s team and finish second in Group F.
These are the best jokes as England get Iceland in the round of 16 at Euro 2016 after their last-minute group stage win against Austria:
Get in Iceland*
