England, still in Brexit shock, were put on ice in their Euro Cup match on Monday. The team that sent them home - Iceland, delivering a stunning 2-1 blow.

It wasn't pretty. Here are five of the funniest and most brutal tweets on Brexit Redux.
It was nice knowing you, England.

The worst defeat in our history. England beaten by a country with more volcanoes than professional footballers. Well played Iceland.
