Watch: Screamers And Goalkeeping Howlers As Romania U21s Send England Packing

Looks lads, be it in football, rugby, cricket, or tiddlywinks, there's nothing quite like watching England lose. Us Irish love a good giggle over the sporting misfortunes of our neighbours across the water.

Call us bitter, call us what you want really, but we think it's hilarious.

Anyway, continuing in that vein, the England U21s have been eliminated from the European Championships after a 4-2 defeat to Romania. It came in dramatic fashion too, with all six goals coming in the final 15 minutes.

With the game tied at 1-1 with five minutes, Ianis Hagi stepped up with a cracking strike to put Romania in the lead.

Ianis is of course the son of Romanian legend Gheorghe Hagi, who starred for both Real Madrid and Barcelona in the 1990's. He seems a bit of baller, taking after his auld lad.

While Tammy Abraham would quickly restore parity for England, a Dean Henderson mistake would hand Romania the advantage once more. Look at this for an absolute howler from the Manchester United goalkeeper.

Romania weren't finished there. They made sure of the three points with their fourth goal of the evening, and this one was the pick of the lot.

It was Florinel Coman who got it, with a perfectly executed volley that left Henderson helpless.

That result will see England eliminated from the tournament, having also lost their opener to France in dramatic fashion.

You hate to see it.
