Iceland has managed a great feat by eliminating England in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Euro 2016 on Monday at the Allianz Riviera (2-1). Icelanders, led from the fifth minute after a penalty from Rooney, and just overthrew the Three Lions. They will face France in the quarterfinals on Sunday at Stade de France (2100).
The match: 1-2
The English go to the input collision, determined not to let Icelanders buttress their cage. Walker overflows, Sturridge regain. On opening the left part company Sterling Saevarsson, the weak link of the Scandinavian defense and is hit by Halldorsson. The "padre" of the team, Rooney converted the penalty without blinking (4, 1-0). It is said that the game will turn into a thawed in good standing. What a mistake! We are immersed in one of the wildest games of this tournament. Icelanders equalized moments later on their special (6, 1-1). The pair of central defenders Arnason and Sigurdsson calmly pierces the English marking and will relocate to disgust quietly Kane, forced to rezone. Moreover, as the intractable duo Gylfi Sigurdsson and Icelandic Gunnarsson patrol before this area became inviolable Valhalla, the English were reduced to hitting or swinging away. The unthinkable happens quickly, after an oiled movement initiated by Gylfi (engineering ideas) Sigurdsson Sigthorsson mistaken Joe Hart, the man who has a velvet hand in a velvet glove (18th, 1-2). Britain will push for the rest of the meeting, but will quickly realize that they cannot afford to upset a heroic training. Rooney back and thwarts the English fans are silent and stunned. Everyone understood that receipts Wilshere (ghostly), Vardy or Rashford not change.
The fact Roy Hodgson kicked into touch
However, how England’s coach and his troop fall for it? Long keys Gunnarsson, who swings the ball as Thor throws his hammer, is the classic Icelandic attack. In the third group match against Austria, the first goal of Bodvarsson is registered following a button captain deflected by the defender Arnasson. Each Icelandic touches in the English camp is chilling the public of the Three Lions, the image of this shooting Skulason umpteenth consecutive to throw in (33).
Ragnar Sigurdsson, great from start to finish
While the English have a disastrous start to the period, it is on the verge of banning the Euro without a referendum his back following a corner, and Hart (55th) parry a scramble in the box. It then offers a stunning catch on Jamie Vardy, launched by Harry Kane, and then we think Leicester striker already promised a face-to-face with Halldorsson (71). Jamie who? Harry who? Ragnar, the protégé of the gods, spent evening festivities by dancing on the belly of the English attack.
Can the Icelanders mount an upset victory against France?
