VS
The
ultimate underdog story, a nation of 323.000 people, with 10% of them in France
supporting their national team that made country history in just qualifying.
Iceland is a squad with very tall, strong players and this generation and next
to come are enjoying an upgrade of the facilities that is start to show. They
no longer are unfamiliar to controlling the ball, and they defend with all
their heart, achieving an incredible qualification to the knockout stage.
England must be happy but with suspicious of Iceland. Hodgson’s squad is the clear favorite for the game, but that also brings added pressure, built up with the average performance in the group stage, especially in the finishing side of the games.
It’s a game where you can expect England to have the control of the ball and Iceland trying to defend and break when they can, always with few man to avoid disorganizing their backline. For England is going to be a frustrating game, much like it was against Slovakia, and the players must be focused to not let the frustration affect their game. If they can avoid it England, should, get through and book a place to face France.
