Yeah, good of him to suddenly find his form.

[Deadlock]

Iceland!

[Ascotexgunner]

Jammy England.

[Sutekh]

Well after Slovakia guess what will happen. Yes 120 minutes trying to score v Iceland using our unique one dimensional tactics and then penalties.

[Platypuss]

GTFI!!!!

[Deadlock]

I think it's spelt "Gylfi"

[sandman]

Get in there Iceland.

Good luck to them in the next round.

Anyone know who they're going to play?

[AthleticoSpizz]

Might as well be Reading the way it's panning out the England way

[Maneki Neko]

well that was all utterly mental.
enjoyable mental.


say what you like about this daft crazy format. its interesting.

[AthleticoSpizz]

agree, pretty much four teams involved in getting to the knock-outs right up until the last kick.

Confusing but " interesting"

[genome]

It's about the only time in any of the groups it's made it more exciting to be honest.

[genome]

And in fact it would've been more exciting if it was the regular format as Portugal would've been knocked out

[AthleticoSpizz]

cannot disagree with the Portugal comment.

However, having teams outside of your group influencing your fate has a certain charm

[Ascotexgunner]

Didn't Iceland knock the Dutch out?

[AthleticoSpizz]

Big time, beat them home and away

[Ascotexgunner]

Big time, beat them home and away

Makes you wonder just how underrated they are.
As bad as the dutch were they still must have had a pretty decent team.

[AthleticoSpizz]

tbh, and before we celebrate England's passage through to the last eight, (a slightly different scenario...I know) but Iceland coped with Portugal and their strike-force.

Capable of busting through decent defences on the break......a keeper worthy of "player of the tournament" thus far

Could be a brave man that puts all his money on an England win???

[LUX]

Watching Belgium v Sweden

Very open, loads of chances.

Belgium's kit tonight is the best in the tournament by a mile.

[From Despair To Where?]

Iceland just make themselves very difficult to beat. Add to that pace, excellent team spirit and a couple of very good players and you have a team that you need to bring your A game to get the better of.

It's quite simple really.
