England vs Iceland was one of those results that happen once in a generation. Like England losing to the USA in 1950, or North Korea defeating Italy in 1966.
The Albion and Palace debacles happen to teams every season.
So obviously I voted for England vs Iceland.

Very true, but the perfect storm of Dunk getting sent off against Derby and subsequent suspension, Stephens' red against Boro and subsequent suspension, BHA players dropping like flies with injuries in the first leg against Wednesday. That catalogue of misfortune and collapse in such a short space of time does not 'happen every season.'

Spurs finishing third place in a two horse title race was another big football fiasco of 2016.

This. I've not seen many collapses like that
Sadly, the England v Iceland result is seen as normal order of things for England. I'm no longer shocked by our national incompetence
This. Plus, at least England v Iceland was buried in the fall out of Brexit, which is the most embarrassing thing ever. And let's not forget that we'd have been slaughtered by France anyway.
