And karma is a load of rubbish?

Many reacted to last night's match where England was defeated by Iceland with horror and anger but I actually found it all quite funny.  It was arrogant English nationalism that took the UK out of the EU and there could be no greater symbol of English nationalism than that embodied by its national football team (apologies to the successful English rugby team, managed by a foreigner...).  For the national football team to fail was, in the grand scheme of things, inconsequential but it would have been at least a rebuke to the delusional, vain, navel-gazing English nationalism that is so damaging to the country as a whole (e.g. green-lighting Scottish independence).
Even before the match, I had lost interest in the progress of the English football team, partially through their own faults but mostly because they were an avatar of that ugly English nationalism that had destroyed the country's destiny, whose most extreme element were the disgusting hooligans (who chanted how they were all voting out.  How?  Were they using a proxy?).  My disinterest manifested itself in going shopping while the match was being played.
Dean Acheson quipped that Britain had lost an empire but not yet found a role.  In my lifetime, that role seemed to be playing a part in helping shape Europe for the benefit of ourselves and future generations.  Now it seems the role will be to be Switzerland-with-nukes - an irrelevance in all but name.
So at the end of the game, I found myself cheering on Iceland, not ironically and helped by England's abysmal performance.  There were quite a few Remain supporters hurt by last night's result.England deserved to go out of Euros at the first opportunity - that it was accompanied by humiliation just sums up Brexit for me.  I don't believe in karma but there was a strong correlation for it with last night and last week.
