England was booed off as it lost its final UEFA Euro 2024 warm-up fixture 1-0 at Wembley Stadium, Jon Thorsteinsson's 12th-minute strike proving decisive.

Gareth Southgate's team managed just one shot on target as Iceland sat deep and invited pressure, with Harry Kane and Ivan Toney both fluffing their lines from promising positions.

It was its fewest shots on target in any game since a goalless draw with Scotland in the group stage at UEFA Euro 2020, also one.

The Three Lions were also criticised for a lethargic performance on that occasion, but did ultimately reach the final of that tournament, losing on penalties to Italy.

While Rice was disappointed with the result against Iceland, he is sure England will learn from its experience in time for Group C fixtures against Serbia, Denmark and Slovenia.

"I think when we have that much of the ball and have a couple of really clear-cut chances, and obviously getting beat 1-0 at home just before a Euros isn't ideal, but I am going to take the positives from it as well," Rice said.

"There were a lot of promising performances tonight. I felt on the pitch we played with a good tempo, always tried to play forward and be attacking and a threat.

"In the end it becomes a frustrating game because you are chasing your tail a little bit, you're likely to get caught on the counter-attack and that is where we have to be a little bit more savvy.

"Going into a tournament, it is not ideal that we lost, but also there are some good learning curves from tonight that we can build on as a team."

This is the first time England has lost its final game prior to a major international tournament since UEFA Euro 1968, when it fell at the first hurdle in a four-team competition after going down to West Germany in its final warm-up fixture.

After losing 1-0 to Brazil in March, it hwas also failed to score in two of its past three matches at Wembley, as many blanks as it fired in its previous 31 outings at the national stadium.

Rice partnered Manchester United youngster Mainoo in the heart of midfield, and his team-mate came in for some criticism from supporters as the Three Lions were routinely caught out on the counter-attack.

Rice, however, remains excited about Mainoo's potential, saying: "We did it in March, and it was really positive.

"I can imagine tonight because we lost tonight some people are saying stuff, but that's football these days. Kobbie's young, I am young, our midfield options are young.

"We are going to learn every game and that is the beauty of football, that every game you play there is a chance to improve and get better."
