Euro 2016: England 1-2 Iceland - 5 talking points

4) Iceland to face the hosts in quarter-finals

Can Iceland continue their dream run?

After knocking an underperforming England out of the tournament, Iceland are now set to face France in the quarter-finals. After their campaign was initially surrounded by controversy, Didier Deschamp’s men managed to bring out their best game as Les Bleus remained unbeaten in all of their matches en route to the quarters.

Iceland will be facing a whole new challenge here. While France’s wins haven’t all been convincing, they do have an array of attacking options that could pose serious problems for Iceland’s seemingly impermeable defence.

Game-changers like Dimitri Payet, Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann can easily create something out of nothing as they have shown in the past. A more cautious approach could prove vital in Iceland’s bid for a semi-final spot.
