So has Britain withdrawn from this tournament yet? Or has it already lost and home playing golf?

not expected but not the most surprising thing, as England has looked like crap the entire tournament.
Roy Hodgson resigned immediately after the game.. took full blame.. but i don't know. England had 70% of possession but almost a complete lack of quality shots on goal. Hand it to the Icelanders.. they did Erik the Red proud.. stalwart defense worthy of an Icelandic Saga.
When American dentist Walter Palmer killed a lion, the world was outraged.
When Icelandic dentist Heimir Hallgrimsson killed three lions, the world laughed its a*s off.

Quarter Final
Poland 1-1 Portugal (after extra time. Portugal win 5-3 on penalties)
Lewandowski 2....................Renato Sanches 33
Lewandowski puts Poland 1-0 up after two minutes
Portugal reached the semi-finals of the European Championship for the fourth time in five tournaments with a penalty shootout victory over Poland.
Ricardo Quaresma scored the winning spot-kick after Jakub Blaszczykowski's effort was saved by Rui Patricio.
Robert Lewandowski had fired Poland ahead in the second minute with teenager Renato Sanches equalising via a deflected strike.
Portugal's semi-final opponents will be either Wales or Belgium.
Remarkably, Portugal have reached the last four without winning a game in normal time following three draws in a group in which they finished third and an extra-time win over Croatia in the last 16.
No side has ever got this far in a European Championship without winning a match inside 90 minutes.
Portugal have also only led a match for 22 minutes during the whole tournament, while Poland have not trailed for a single minute.
However, for a second dour and conservative knockout game running, Fernando Santos' side did what was required when it mattered.
The Portuguese celebrate their penalty shootout victory which put them in the Semi-Finals

Probably England's biggest shock defeat since they lost 1-0 against part-time USA in Belo Horizonte in the 1950 Brazil World Cup. The Haitian Gaetjens scored the goal after 38 minutes. It remains one of the World Cup's biggest shocks and even has its own Wikipedia page and film (The Miracle Match).
It was England's (but not USA's) first-ever World Cup (the UK sides boycotted the previous ones, refusing to play in them) and playing at right-back for England in the match was Alf Ramsey, who would become the manager of the England team that won the World Cup in 1966.
By the way, Erik the Red was Norwegian.
Wales recorded the greatest night in their football history as they came from a goal down to beat Belgium at Euro 2016 and reach the semi-finals of a major tournament for the first time.

Belgium are ranked No2 in the world yet Wales proved too much for them last night.
Wales will play Portugal in the semi-final - which means that we will have a mouthwatering showdown between Gareth Bale, the world's most expensive footballer, and his Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, probably the world's greatest player.

Wales recorded the greatest night in their football history as they came from a goal down to beat Belgium at Euro 2016 and reach the semi-finals of a major tournament for the first time.
Radja Nainggolan put Belgium ahead in Lille with a thunderous 25-yard strike but Wales captain Ashley Williams headed in from a corner to equalise in a breathless first half littered with chances at both ends.
Welsh celebrations reached stratospheric levels when Hal Robson-Kanu, a striker without a club, gave them the lead with a divine turn and finish.
After withstanding late Belgium pressure, Wales sealed victory through a header from substitute Sam Vokes that set up a semi-final against Portugal and a mouth-watering duel between Real Madrid team-mates Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Robson-Kanu puts Wales in front
Wales manager Chris Coleman had described the last-eight tie as Wales' biggest match since their 1958 World Cup quarter-final defeat by Brazil (who had Pele playing in his first World Cup), their only previous appearance in the knockout stages of a major tournament.
His players rose to the occasion wonderfully, recovering from a difficult start to claim what must rank as the greatest win in Welsh football history.

Wales is the real deal. I think they have a real shot at beating Portugal before falling to Germany, which is one heck of an achievement.
If not, a third-place match between Wales and Iceland would be a blast!

What the media have not mentioned is that all ALL THREE of Wales's goalscorers last night - Williams, Robson-Kanu and Vokes - are actually English.
Of course. So is Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Katie Ledecky, Albert Einstein, and Superman.
Yes. They certainly are.
Wales are being carried along by English players. I bet the Taffs don't thank the English, though.
World Champions Germany beat Italy in a major tournament finals for the first time last night.
The match finished 1-1 after extra time and went to penalties. Despite Germany missing three of them - the first of the misses being the first time since 1982 that they have missed a penalty in a shootout - they still won the shootout and progressed to the Semi-Finals where they will face either France or Iceland.

Germany 1-1 Italy (after extra time. Germany won 6-5 on penalties)
Özil 65...................... Bonucci 78 (pen)
Germany reached the Euro 2016 semi-finals after winning a thrilling penalty shootout against Italy in Bordeaux.
Joachim Low's World Cup holders looked on course for victory in normal time - against a country they had never beaten at a major tournament - when Mesut Ozil rounded off a slick build-up with Mario Gomez and Jonas Hector to score at the near post in the 65th minute.
Italy did not flinch but were grateful for a moment of madness from Germany defender Jerome Boateng when he needlessly handled, allowing Leonardo Bonucci to score the first penalty of his career with 12 minutes left.
Germany missed more penalties in one shootout than in their history - three - but were once again the winners on penalties.
They have still never lost a shootout since the 1976 final of this competition when they lost to Czechoslovakia - some 40 years and 13 days ago.
It was settled when Hector drove low under Italy keeper Gianluigi Buffon after Manchester United's Matteo Darmian saw his side's ninth penalty saved by Manuel Neuer.
Germany will now play either hosts France or England's conquerors Iceland in the last four.

Olivier Giroud scored twice in France's 5-2 win over Iceland
France scored five to bring a brutal end to the Iceland fairytale and set up an intriguing Euro 2016 semi-final against world champions Germany in Marseille on Thursday.
There was almost a sense of disbelief around the Stade de France at the break as the host nation walked off with a 4-0 advantage, two of the goals coming in the closing minutes of the half.
Olivier Giroud's low strike and Paul Pogba's powerful header from a corner had settled early French nerves and put their side in control.
Dimitri Payet scored his third goal of an increasingly memorable tournament for the West Ham playmaker with a precise low strike from 20 yards that skidded across the greasy surface before Antoine Griezmann deftly lifted the ball over Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson.
After the restart Kolbeinn Sigthorsson stabbed home at the near post from Gylfi Sigurdsson's cross as Iceland refused to give in before France restored their four-goal advantage when Giroud headed in a free-kick.
Still, there was more to cheer for the excellent Iceland fans when Birkir Bjarnason headed a second for his side in the final stages of what has been a remarkable tournament debut for their team.
