useless Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 They've beaten Holland twice and Turkey and Czech Republic recently. And finished above Portugal in qualifying for the group stages. England had no given right to beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said real homie, I'd say that France beating Iceland in the fashion that they are, is if anything a bigger shock than it is Iceland beating England.

villa4europe Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 iceland is a job done though isnt it they've got further than expected, got the most famous victory in their history, are all returning home as heroes, facing the impossible...will be disappointed about the risk of being embarrassed but the rest they probably arent bothered about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 France will ease off and probably take a few key players off like Payet and Pogba as any slight injury and they're big doubts for the German game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 The Iceland hand clap makes an incredible noise but with it being Stade de France sounds too much like a bomb is going off like last November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Surely in the history of the competition there has to be a bigger surprise than Iceland beating England, given Iceland's form coming into the competition. Them getting thrashed the way they are tonight isn't the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 hoddle touched on it there, france's possession and their movement means that iceland are going to tire england probably had similar possession if not more but we did nothing to move them about or make them chase anything, playing vs us they could just stand there and do their job, playing against these tonight they cant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 It's surprising that they're as good as they are (not amazing but competitive) given the country's low population. But before they played England they proved that they can be competitve against teams of similar standing to England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denmark winning in 92 is definite bigger since they didnt actually qualify and were summoned 2 weeks before tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
