Welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of the European Championship. England, who qualified for the knock-out stage as runners-up to Wales in Group B, take on Iceland, everyone’s favourite underdogs, in Nice.

Roy Hodgson, the England manager, has openly admitted that tonight’s clash represents a junction in his career. The ramifications of defeat could prove deadly.

Win and his side will face hosts France in the quarter-finals. Lose, however, and the former Fulham and West Bromwich Albion manager is certain to lose his job in acrimonious fashion.
