England vs Iceland Match Preview and Team News
England
It was looking good for England after two wins and a draw in their first three group matches. That included a 2-1 home win over Belgium, but then it all went wrong. They lost 1-0 at home to Denmark and then 2-0 away in Belgium. All of which has left them third in the group they once topped. A win over Iceland will take them into second, but only if group winners Belgium beat Denmark. Look for Gareth Southgate to again experiment with his side just as he did in friendlies against Wales and Ireland. Jack Grealish enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He is strong, and his most significant strength is speed. Jadon Sancho is a real football treasure, and it is a pleasure to watch this guy. He has excellent dribbles, he is fast, and the perfect season is behind him.
Iceland
Iceland has had a miserable campaign, losing all five of their group games. They also lost to Hungary last week, and they won’t be in the next European Championship. They led that game 1-0 going into the 88th minute but lost 2-1. The visitors do tend to concede late goals in matches. The Icelandic side has had some bad luck in this group. A last-minute penalty miss cost them a draw at home to England, who had scored in the 91st minute. Then a 92nd minute goal in Denmark saw them lose 2-1. There have been some heavy defeats, though, losing 5-1 in Belgium and 3-0 at home to Denmark. Iceland has lost five of their last six matches, all a bit disappointing considering a five-game unbeaten run last year. Gylfi Sigurdsson is the biggest star in the national team, he plays well in Everton, and he is the starter in every match. This guy can play in several positions, and he is a great defensive midfielder. Birkir Bjarnason is an experienced player, which does not allow the opponent to play much in the middle of the field, and he is instrumental to the national team.
