It’s been quite the week for our former imperial overlords. Last Thursday they voted to leave the European Union then today their soccer team went out and lost to Iceland.
Yes, Iceland.
Twitter erupted like the Grimsvotn volcano.

Ian Darke called the result a "humiliation" and an "embarrassment" for England. "A calamitous, clueless display."
