Euro 2016 - Group F - Iceland vs Hungary, 5 pm, TV3 & BBC

Mr.Nice Guy

Iceland vs Hungary

5:00pm Saturday 18th June
Stade Velodrome

We're all disappointed about the earlier game but to help you move on, here's more football to look forward to.

Iceland pulled off a plucky performance against Portugal to earn a point, whilst Hungary achieved arguably the upset of the tournament by beating Austria.

Who wins this one? I'll sit on the fence and say a draw.

Scorpion Sting

2-2 with Sigurdsson to grab a late equaliser for Iceland.

Hungary were one of the most refreshing, surprising sides so far and a great opening goal. Fancy them to take this...

The Talking Bread

I genuinely think this game could be a cracker!

Peter Drury on the UEFA Feed for TV3 is nice. Good commentator.

BoJack Horseman

Love that slow clap chant thing.

Some playing surfaces aren't holding up at all well. Shudder to think what state some will be in come the later stages.

A lot of security down the end Iceland are attacking

There was a bit of hassle amongst the Hungary fans before kick off:

Pretty good game.

Has been quite open the last few mins.

AllGunsBlazing

I thought Gordon Strachan had retired from playing?

It's time to bring back the Hapsburgs for some order the that part of the world

BoJack Horseman

Howler from keeper

Penalty!

Goal to Gilfi!

Harry Palmr

Blimey you don't see that often Iceland handed a peno by the keeper crashing into an attacking player

1-0

Ah you edited it

"Nordic Miracle". "Unbelievable" "It cant be happen, it shouldnt be happening" Iceland have been an improving outfit for years, Hungary are an average outfit. These commentators are imbeciles!!

I was thinking of some old keeper who wore pants....

I had thought of old Oggy but wasn't sure.

Who is the main commentator on TV3? Has he watched any football over the last 4 years? Does he think Iceland just dropped from the sky on Tuesday into their group and never kicked a ball before?!!

Look at their qualification group. They clearly are a decent outfit yet he calls this a miracle,

Just like yesterday.

Riot police stand by picking their holes while the vested stewards are left to separate brawling thugs.

French police are peak-French

Harry Palmr

The keeper looks about two stone over-weight.

Considering this is their first ever major tournament i think a little hyperbole on the part of commentators could be forgiven.

Hungary is one of the weakest teams in the tournament, but Iceland could be another Greece, or - to use more recent comparision - Leicester.

Miracle is an overstatement, but it is valid description of what they did so far. Not just in last two games, but in the qualifiers, too.

Let the pundits have their fun I always loved underdogs like Iceland and wish them all the best.

I wonder if Joey Barton is going to sack his agent for landing him in the TV3 studios

Sitting in a green-screen studio in some sh*tty Dublin industrial estate watching endless ad breaks.

If I was as rich as him I could think of better ways to spend my time off.

money for doing nothing, sitting in a comfy studio watching soccer and sitting back and barely having to utter a word while all the ads go on!

Think he will be giving his agent a raise!!

Just curious about this.

I am using tv3 player on my phone to stream it through miracast to my tv as I have no saorview aerial here.

Every time I close the app I have to watch 2-3 advertisements before I can get back to watch the match, yet during the commercial break I only see stream will resume soon message and no advertisements are shown in that period

Do they realize that nobody cares and watches these commercials anyway, and if that's the case shouldn't they remove them all at once:D

I know, wishful thinking...

BoJack Horseman

Magyars really dominating now.
I feel that a goal is close.

ThunbergsAreGo

I see people giving out about us and saying we should play like Iceland. Iceland have played exactly like us since i have been watching. were they alot better first half?

It's results based analysis.

"They're winning therefore they're playing better or are trying more."

It's nonsense.

ThunbergsAreGo

I do like seeing Iceland win, thier names sounds like Ireland

Gudjohnsen!

AllGunsBlazing

oops

BoJack Horseman

Sickner.... But it was coming

Lovely move.

McDermotX

Thoroughly deserved.

Johner

Nooooo.

Everyone outside of Hungary

Arthur Daley

Not heard of gudjohnson in years. Hard on iceland and more flares go off

Mr.Nice Guy

Can't say it's not deserved.

pajor

I find that a real pity.

McDermotX

Bloody Russians again with the their firecrackers signalling an attack.

The Talking Bread

Hungary are pretty underdogs themselves. The bias from that main commentator! You would swear he was from Iceland himself!

LightningBlue

Deserved equaliser - just unfortunate that it had to be an own goal.

Hungary the only team trying to score or create anything in the second half.

Its shocking isnt it

Someone posted their qualifying table earlier, Hungary came below N.Ire

R00ster

Bad defending, there were two defenders who could have tracked the man who put in the cross.

Well for Norway, Scotland and Ireland, we all share a genetic link with Iceland.
