The match has been described as one of England's worst defeats ever. [26] Former footballer and Talksport presenter Stan Collymore, who was commentating on the game, panned the England team, reserving special criticism for goalkeeper Joe Hart and captain Wayne Rooney. [27] Former England international and BBC Sport pundit Alan Shearer described it as the worst performance he had ever seen from an England team. [28] The defeat was called England's most shocking since losing 1–0 to the United States in the 1950 World Cup. [29]
The English team was viciously mocked by the press who described it as a "second exit from Europe", referencing the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union just four days earlier. The English media called the result a national embarrassment, criticising the team's fitness and calling the fans unsportsmanlike. [30] [31] Consequently, England manager Roy Hodgson announced his resignation following the match. [32]
