Euro: R16: Iceland vs. England, 6/27/2016

[Live in the Now]

England has had some difficulty with teams playing behind the ball, so I'm interested to see how they approach the game. Iceland also carries some goal threat even on their rare forays forward.

Go go gadget upset!

1-0. Gary Cahill.

 

[Chloraflora]

I'd almost rather be playing Portugal, at least they'd come at us. We'll have the classic England lack of ideas against defensive side game no doubt, and scrape through 1-0 or lose on penalties.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Iceland will win on penalties. It's set in stone.

Redemption for the Junior Goodwill games?

 

[Uncle Rotter]

Go Iceland!

Eiður Guðjohnsen will not be denied. He needs to go out on a high note

 

[HajdukSplit]

England win but it will be their typical labored, slow build up performance, possibly 2:0 but won't be shocked if its a late winner too. Iceland at best will hope for some set piece or throw in in England's half

England 2-1

Read that the FA aren't happy that Vardy made his mind up about staying at Leicester while the Euros were still going on.

Hodgson ordered him to forget about Arsenal and focus on helping England succeed in France.

Hodgson has banned agents from the team hotel in Chantilly on the outskirts of Paris and wants his stars to concentrate on the finals and nothing else.

Vardy, 29, held talks with Hodgson to assure him he was fully focused on the job in hand.

But less than a week later it has emerged Vardy has negotiated the bumper new deal with the Premier League champions after making a life-changing decision to snub a move to the Emirate

 

[Dr Pepper]

Good for Vardy.

**** Hodgson, it's Vardy's career, let him choose when he wants to.

Hell, if not for Vardy, England probably doesn't even have another match to look forward to.

Did I read right that he is going to be making something along the lines of ₤120,000 a week? Or was that the Arsenal deal?

What would you even do with that kind of money? Drive a different Bentley every day?

 

[Chloraflora]

Leicester bid 30m for Troy effing Deeney, money has no meaning to them.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Can't believe Iceland has more votes than England.
I expect England to destroy Iceland in this one... 3-0

 

[cgf]

England wrecks Iceland...2-1 in ET.

i do not think you know what the definition of "wreck" is

or was that mean to be contrite?

 

[Eisen]

Go Iceland! I cheer hard for you.

Eiður Guðjohnsen will not be denied. He needs to go out on a high note

I like Sigthorsson. Siegtor means "game winning goal" in German. It's pronounced the same (in German).

£120,000 per week was the Arsenal deal. I think his new Leicester deal is around £100,00 per week.

I expect you to be wrong
