Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that The Telegraph Football and The BBC made BUKAYO SAKA the face of defeat for their article ‘far-from-ideal fashion’ front page headline after defeat against Iceland in Euro 2024.


Boos rang out at Wembley as England’s grand send-off for the European Championship they hope to finally win ended with defeat by the same team who stunned them in 2016 – and the BBC pundits were also unimpressed.

Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson scored the only goal as Iceland came out 1-0 victors against an England team who played most of their likely starters for Germany.

“We had no width, there was no punch of directness or aggression or physicality in the play,” said former England defender Matt Upson, watching the game for BBC Radio 5 Live.

“It was really quite dismal. It was a bit boring to watch. What a tough watch that was. It’s not pleasant going into a major tournament.
