Euro 2016 - Round of 16 - England vs Iceland, 8 pm, RTE, ITV

Mr.Nice Guy

England vs Iceland

8:00pm Monday 27th June
Allianz Riviera

Teams:

England: Hart; Walker, Smalling, Cahill, Rose; Dier, Alli, Rooney; Sterling, Sturridge, Kane.

Iceland: Halldórsson; Sævarsson, Árnason, R. Sigurdsson, Skúlason; Gudmundsson, Gylfi, Gunnarsson, Bjarnason; Sigthórsson, Bödvarsson.



Sterling is getting another chance? Very surprised at that.

The prize of a quarter-final with France awaits, so who wins?

I'll go for a 3-1 England win. Sadly I think the Iceland dream ends tonight but I hope I'm wrong. Go Iceland!

All the eggs in one basket for Hodsgon - will they get scrambled?

Grandeeod

I'd love to Iceland get something out of this purely on the basis of what they represent.

syngindub

Let us pray

Amen

C'mon England. Think France v England would be a good game.

Green Fella

That England line up doesnt inspire confidence and neither does Hodgson. Hes doing his best Mike Bassett impression so far. Hope they dont mess this up.

Richard Hillman

Iceland will win. Their style suits England. England and Rooney will pass the ball around aimlessly for the majority of the game and Iceland will stand off them with comfort. Iceland will score from a set piece.

LiamoSail

Common Iceland, hope to god they put Farage's XI out

I'd be afraid of that, and that England are looking past them. Iceland certainly look better than Slovakia and Russia.

Irish_rat

Best England lineup minus Sterling.

4-5-1 into a 4-3-3 requires a decent left wing. Only problem is they left all the good ones at home

I disagree, they're hard working and plucky, but extremely limited. They're like Wales without Bale.

Six black or mixed race players in England's starting 11. Hardly a Farage XI? The national team are representing the entire nation, not just those who voted remain or leave.

Anyway, England will break the ice-landic's hearts tonight. 2-1 England.

if England consider themselves as serious contenders...then they should beat Iceland comfortably

They're going home in the 1/4s either way.

Wtf??? Why do you think Farage doesnt like Black or Mixed race people? And what is this nonsense doing in a Football match thread.

somehow i fancy them against france

Amazed Roy has picked Sterling again and left Vardy out.

I really don't think he knows what he's doing and I would not be surprised if Iceland take them to extra time.

Why indeed. I wonder why. Why oh why.

Also, I didn't say Farage doesn't like Black or Mixed race people. You did.

And what is this nonsense doing in a Football match thread.

1. It's not nonsense.
2. It was brought up in the thread by another poster.
3. It's international football so there is an argument for it being on topic.

Haven't you learnt they have considered themselves serious contenders for 50 years.

They have no hope against the bigger teams.

It is nonsense. Farage and the Brexit have nothing to do with football.

Nothing sadder than Irish people pontificating about British politics they know nothing about. You are clueless about Farage aswell, and it doesnt belong here. Used to box with a Ghanian guy whos family all voted for Brexit aswell. Doesnt suit your agenda though does it

Jesus it's right craic in here in other news some fine ladys in Iceland

I thought they'd be singing "God Save The Pound" tonight.

I assume their ladies are cool rather than hot.

The Icelandic anthem is quite lovely.... very hymn like..

Though it could be an ode to whale slaughter for all I know.

Iused2likebusts

Come on Iceland would be unreal if they made the quarters.

AMKC

Come on Iceland would love to see them win.

Good Lord, those truly are the sons of Iceland - not a single name that doesn't end in -son :pac:

Their keeper has had a mistake in him all through the tournament.

Fair enough. Your opinion though. Another poster mentioned Farage and I don't see you taking issue with their post? I wasn't going to just let it sit their unchallenged. And as I said, there is an argument for it being relevant to football given this is an international fixture. But as it's the match thread, we should probably stick to discussing the actual match.

If I had an agenda, I would hope that anecdotal evidence would not affect it. Unlike yourself obviously.
