The Icy Open-Jawed Scare: A Chilling Start for the Three Lions as an Unwanted Record is Unearthed

Football

A dreary night for England as they faced Iceland at Wembley, conceding an early goal and equaling an unwanted record in the process.

Just 12 minutes into the friendly, Jon Thorsteinsson found himself in space and fired a shot past Aaron Ramsdale, giving the visitors a surprising lead. This marked the third consecutive game where England conceded first on their home turf, a feat not seen since Walter Winterbottom’s reign in 1954.

Thorsteinsson’s swift strike left England reeling and set an unfortunate record for the Three Lions.

England’s defense looked shaky once again, conceding first for the third straight game at Wembley.

England’s recent struggles at Wembley continued, with the team failing to keep a clean sheet in their last three games. In March, Brazil’s Endrick became the youngest goalscorer in the stadium’s history as Brazil won 1-0. This was followed by Belgium’s Youri Tielemans scoring early in a 2-2 draw, and now Thorsteinsson’s strike has added to England’s woes.

The last time England conceded first in three straight games at Wembley was between 1953 and 1954, a period that included a draw with a FIFA representative side, a humiliating loss to Hungary, and a narrow win over Wales.

England’s defense will need to step up their game if they want to avoid further embarrassment and break this unwanted record.
