England makes me sick right now. Supposedly even the fans themselves were chanting Brexit victory songs.
Come on Iceland.
Come on Iceland.
England vs Iceland
- Thread starter 032Devil
- Start date
Only a few then a lot of boooo's.
Even so, 55% of the (voting) country are an international joke and I don't want anything positive to mask that.
Rooney will show his class tonight and from tonight on.. 3,4 - 0
The Welsh didn't seem to have any problems, but then again there will likely be many foreigners for whom UK = England only, and we're the most hatable British nation anyway so I'm expecting the brunt of it to come on us. Probably more likely in the theoretical France game, given that Iceland aren't in the EU at all themselves and have no interest in joining (they were looking into it after the recession, but I think they've withdrawn from the idea completely now).
I'm predicting an Icelandic win on penalties btw
Sterling
Come on Iceland... We're doing this....
You might too. Just checked out the England team and it's nowhere near as good as it could be.
Literally every single team of the knockouts that I've wanted to go through has been eliminated so far.
Congrats England.
Congrats England.
Sterling?!
Urgh.
FFS Sterling starting is not good.
England are looking for their first Euro Final knockout win on foreign soil, Iceland will think have a a good chance tonight, I expect a tough game.

So Kane over Vardy because England expect power play for 90min? I guess that can make sense. However, Vardy has looked sharper than Kane so far in this tournament imo.
Really disappointing yet not surprising to see Sterling and, to a lesser extent, Kane and Alli starting. Fearing the worst now.
I can not understand how Iceland does it to be fair. They have about 330k inhabitants in the whole of Iceland, the city I live in here in Norway have 300k inhabitants, yet Norway cant touch them in regards to football for shit.
Áfram Ísland!
We beat them 3-2 a couple of weeks ago.
How has Kane made it back?
Yeah, but their overall results are far better than ours. And we are 5,5m while they are 330k. Imagine if the Norwegian national team only had for example Hordaland to choose from to even out the population, that would be some dire watching.
Sterling back in is weird, I know we need more pace wide but I'd have given Rashford a chance, he has more brains.
I'm gonna go against the grain and predict a good performance from Sterling and Kane tonight which will hurt England as they earn their place against France.
This'll be spun as another spineless decision but the reality is he's taking a significant risk.
Sterling and Kane starting
Want England to win this and the United boys to have a good game. Hopefully Rooney scores.
Massive respect for Iceland, but I would just prefer an England-France QF that should be a cracker, instead of France slaughtering Iceland.

I can see why Rashford is not starting , he did well when he came on has a sub and I can see him coming on tonight, but Sterling had a crap season , done nothing so far, for me does not deserve to start.
I'd agree with most that have commented, surprised to see Kane and Sterling. Think Vardy and Lallana (if fit) should be starting.
I'm expecting a dull game as we struggle to break them down.
Idiot of a host in Croatian pregame show just said something like: "England team, what journos wished they got."
He's talking bollocks right?

Sturridge shouldnt be on the wing although given Iceland will be sat back it mightnt matter to much, Sterling and Kane selection is a joke, especially if Kane flukes one in, hes still woefully out of form and will be shown up next round if he plays
I know that Andy Carroll is not everyones ideal player but i think he would have been a great option against teams that sit back. Like all the teams in the group stage and Iceland tonight.
FAO Brits: If England gets eliminated will it be considered the greatest humilation in the NT's history?
No match number in the thread title is extremely annoying.
Never change Roy 
hope Guddy wins it.
Koma svo Ísland vinna þennan drullu leik!!!
Not qualifying for Euro 2008 would probably beat it.
Did Hoddle just say it would be a positive step for England if we beat Iceland on penalties?
Not a Brit, but getting eliminated by a country which population is around 8% of the population of London, I'd say yes.
Edit: it's actually around 4%.
