Rio quoting Bilic there.

 

[mark87]

Be nice if all four 'home nations' qualified, despite NI, ROI and Wales all hating England!

 

[Marty]

I fancy Iceland to kick the shit out of us...

They will, no doubt. But England v Iceland will be so much more fun than the inevitable penalty loss to Portugal

 

[heelspurs]

Hodgson you are one lucky owl faced ****

Not really. I believe you are doing the proverbial chicken counting. Would you bet your mortgage on Woy devising a plan to breakdown Iceland?

 

[riggi]

Still wouldn't be surprised if we got knocked out by Iceland.

More confident against Portugal....

...maybe.

 

[easley91]

Honestly more worried about Iceland than Portugal.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Not sure why folks celebrating Iceland.

England weren't good enough to beat Russia or Slovakia, and got a lucky last minute win against Wales.

I fancy Iceland to nick it 2-1 in extra time

I'm counting nothing. My bet on us beating Portugal (who have knocked us out of three recent tournaments and are a bit of a bogey side in competition football) would be a LOT smaller.

 

[dbspurs]

More bus parkers that we will be clueless against. 0-0 and Iceland win on pens.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

We will beat Iceland comfortably, they've been hanging on for dear life every game.

Beat them and go out to France in quarters I'm guessing

Yup, play Vardy, Rooney, Rashford, Kane and Sturridge all up top and see what happens....
The magical 4 1 5 formation....

 

[gushayes11]

Not worried about Iceland, they've more than exceeded they're expectations by finishing second. I think we'll win comfortably. Portugal aren't great but Ronny just coming into form and Nani creating, experience with Pepe and co. I know who I'd rather play.

 

[werty]

Not happy with the Irish team.

1) Because playing Iceland is fun.
2) Because if Iceland win, I won't be too disheartened as I love the place.
3) Gylfi
4) The alternative was Portugal and I can't stand the thought of Ronaldo scoring a winning penalty and dumping us out again.

And working out which Spurs player Pepe or carvalho gets sent off.

 

[spursfan77]

Amazing achievement for Iceland too. Siggy v his old mates.

 

[Goldman]

If we take our chances we will beat Iceland. We were all over Russia and Slovakia but didn't get a break. Fancy us to progress.

Portugal with Ronaldo would have been the inevitable loss.

Completely agree. I've been there twice and will want to go again. Absolutely nice people there. Think about this: I went to a shopping mall and went inside the Island Bank to change money. The guy told me not to change there and gave me directions to get out in the street to change in another bank that would give me much better rate.

If you're single, now's the time to go! Half the men are now in France. Hmmm, Icelandic women.....

Judging by the shots from the stands half the women are there too. The best crowd shots of the tournament have been in the Iceland games.
