In a disheartening turn of events, England faced boos from some of their own supporters following a 1-0 defeat to Iceland in their last friendly before the European Championship. The match reignited painful memories of England's 2016 Euro exit at the hands of the same opponents.
Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson struck for Iceland in the 16th minute, exposing England's defensive weaknesses. To add to their woes, England almost conceded another goal from a counterattack that culminated in Thorsteinsson slipping as he shot.
Germany, meanwhile, recovered from a goal down to edge Greece 2-1, with Pascal Gross scoring the decisive goal in the 89th minute. This victory extends Germany's streak of unpredictable performances ahead of Euro 2024. Elsewhere, Poland defeated Ukraine 3-1 and Scotland drew 2-2 with Finland after squandering a 2-0 lead.
