Out of the Group and into the last 16 of UEFA EURO 2016 for England. England rang the changes in their final group game and paid the price, ending up second in the group, and into the unfavourable side of the draw. Iceland on the other hand scored a last minute winner, to confirm their progression in second place in their respective group. An extraordinary achievement for their country. With a win England will face either France or Republic of Ireland on Sunday 3rd July. (Their game takes place on Sunday, 3pm). http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/news/newsid=2317361.html Possible England lineup: please log in to view this image I would expect Vardy to keep Sterling's place, but Kane to regain his. Also expect Rooney/Alli back in, and Walker and Rose as well. Bench: Forster (Southampton), Stones (Everton), Clyne (Liverpool), Henderson (Liverpool), Milner (Liverpool), Sterling (Liverpool) Reserve: Heaton (Burnley), Bertrand (Southampton), Sturridge (Liverpool), Barkley (Everton), Wilshere (Arsenal) A bit about the Icelandics: Have a decent team, Sigurdsson we know well. Don't let him have any chances from the egde of the box!!!! They have a 'solid'playing style, as you'd expect, but they will be roared on by approx. 10%(!!) of their country, who have travelled to France. Danger-man: Gylfi Sigurdsson. Well known and respected in the Premier league, Sigurdsson is a creative midfielder who has excellent touch and control, can score from the edge of the box, and score free-kicks from anywhere it seems. Officials Referee: Damir Skomina (SVN) Assistant referees: Jure Praprotnik (SVN), Robert Vukan (SVN) Additional assistant referees: Matej Jug (SVN), Slavko Vinčić (SVN) Fourth official: Carlos Velasco (ESP) Reserve official: Roberto Alonso (ESP) With everything that's going on with the EU and with Saints, let's have something we can all cheer about!!!! Prediction: 1-0
I say we try to attack them down the dairy section. They've got Mint Vienetta at half-price. We could really exploit that.
Hopefully jaidi you keep the unbeaten match thread going. Potentially a very cagey game. Please though, no penalties to decide it. Come on England, you would fancy us 9 times out of 10 to win this.
Yes, that would be my team as well. Just don't rate Sturridge or Sterling at the mo'. Of course if they want to come on and toe poke a winner in the last 5 mins . . . . .
Sturridge is our most dangerous player. Kane is tired, and Vardy is useless against teams who defend deeply.
After Rooney and Sterling take a chunk out of Vienetta we should see some incredible dribbling skills and with their frozen veg at the back and poor frozen chips attempting to breach our defence we should have no trouble at all!
who would have thought - 2 non EU countries playing in the knockout stages of Euro 2016! (of course Wales v NI will be the first 2)
I'd imagine it will be attack vs. defence again, with them looking to counter. Hopefully we can create something and take our chances.
Iceland are set up very narrow - hardly enough room for the trolleys to pass each other in the aisles.
If we can get lallana one v one down the dairy aisle, he can whip something across to Kane in the fruit box. All Harry needs to do then is stuck it in the onion bag. Crumbs, We could make a cereal out of this.
Don't like Mint Viennetta...tastes like frozen toothpaste Though I will eat it if that's all you have....I'm not proud.
I think it's pretty obvious that they're gonna try and hit us on the cheese counter. If we're not careful we could get smoked. Hopefully though our defence will be as solid as a roquefort. But, ultimately I think we'll be too gouda for them. Our forwards should slice right through their defence. Their keeper will melt under the pressure, and their fans will go home feeling blue.
those tactics are old and mouldy Black. I think we need to use some skills and Twix our way last them on a Breakaway. We could Revel in a lot of possession but that may not lead to Celebrations unless we get them heading to Mars or some other Galaxy. Watch their defence Flake away if our wide players can be Malteasering their full backs. It might take Allsorts but when we win, it'll be sweet.
In every match this tournament, apparently MOtM's gone to Iceland. Nope. Sorry. I am trying too hard.
