You’d assume England would have been used to the sensation of shedding to Iceland following their 2016 exploits, however they have been reminded of that recent wound when Jon Thorsteinsson fired Iceland forward at Ramsdale’s close to put up.
Iceland sweep via the gaps in England’s construction with shocking ease, then simply put it via Ramsdale.

The place was Kyle Walker? Stones despatched by a drop-of-the-shoulder too simply. Worrying quantity of area for Iceland to eat up in midfield. Not a aim to concede that may fill England followers with any confidence in any respect.

England have been annoyed for the remainder of the half and went into the break degree at 0-0. Harry Kane went closest to discovering an equaliser within the opening 45, however he shinned a volley from shut vary over.
Chelsea followers weren’t comfortable about Cole Palmer being denied a high quality help, both.
Palmer set Kane up completely…

Can be a miracle if John Stones makes it via the match unscathed.

If John Stones will get injured we would as effectively forfeit the Euros

Thorsteinsson ought to have grabbed his second aim of the night simply after the hour mark however fluffed his traces from shut vary. Kyle Walker – who did not cowl himself in glory for the opener – had performed Iceland’s attackers onside to permit the transfer to play via within the first place.
What an opportunity for Iceland to make it 2-0 as they catch England out however make a multitude of it.
