England's rough week got even worse thanks to Gummi Ben.

Yes, Gummi Ben, aka Guðmundur Benediktsson, is the center of attention again after the commentator's ecstatic reaction to Iceland's goal against Austria last Tuesday went viral.  

On Monday, he again delivered incredible commentary as Iceland knocked out England in a stunning 2-1 victory in the UEFA Euro 2016 soccer tournament.

As the final whistle sounded, Benediktsson was one of the first to rejoice at England's loss -- soon to be followed by hordes of Twitter users posting Brexit memes.

"Live the way you want England. Iceland is going to play France on Sunday. France Iceland!" he shrieked, according to a translation by Gissur Simonarson

"You can go home! You can go out of Europe! You can go wherever the hell you want! England 1, Iceland 2 is the closing score here in Nice, and the fairytale continues."
