England vs Iceland
Trending
England seem to have gotten the luck of the draw here, as they have a very favorable tie in the Round of 16, despite not topping their group.
England give the impression that they still don’t know what their best line-up or formation is. Their fans and pundits alike have been calling for England to find a way to start both Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy together, but there seems to be a reluctance on the part of their manager to do so.
There is an unsettled feel about the England side, and the general perception is that they are not playing their best XI, and have compromised too much in favour of a more traditional formation.
Iceland will themselves be surprised to be in the round-of-16, and its been a great ride for the team and their fans. However, the truth is that Iceland will have to produce a herculean effort to get past England. The gulf between the two sides is too large.
Prediction – Iceland are an adventurous unit who like going forward, and will continue to be adventurous against England. England, however, should have far too much for their opponents.
England to win. most likely scoreline, 3-1 for England.
