England first met Iceland in a warm-up game for the 1982 FIFA World Cup, drawing 1-1 in Reykjavik.

Iceland have been using psychology with inspirational pictures and strong messages to try and inspire the players in team meetings !

But it’s just a funny picture that sticks out. He hopes Iceland can cause a major last 16 upset in Nice against England. Bjarnason, meanwhile, grew up as a Manchester United fan and had a joke for Wayne Rooney after Cristiano Ronaldo refused to swap shirts with Iceland’s players as the Portugal star was left frustrated at failing to beat the smallest team at the tournament. “They show almost every English game on TV. I think they show every game on TV in Iceland. “So, obviously, it’s going to be a big game in my career and a lot of the boys’ career. So, it’s unreal that it’s happening now. Iceland is hoping there will be 20,000 fans to cheer us at the stadium, that .. is 20% of their population – the support sounds incredible. Will they pull off !! With regards – S.
