This tournament will be remembered for the disgraceful behaviour of the fans, fighting outside, inside, and with flares and firecrackers.

Disgraceful, and idiotic.
Given all the troubles in France, you'd think they'd be even more vigilant. Every away match I go to the stewards are there at the gates checking who's bringing in what.

I hope that they catch whomever was responsible for the firecrackers and flares, that was a disgrace.

I actually think that was a fair result, Hungary were the only team who tried to score in that second half.

I wouldn't have been happy for a team to win with a soft penalty after defending for 45 minutes.

Iceland did defend heroically but to try and hold out against one side relentlessly attacking for an entire half is a difficult ask for even the best defences.

I love the chanting from the Iceland fans but I find their teams as boring as hell to watch. They played the same way against Portugal and they are, of course, entitled to do so, but I would rather not watch them.

Draw probably a fair result really but I wanted the underdogs to hang in there.

How are they getting them through security?

Got to agree about it being a fair result overall. The Icemen defend superbly but it's so difficult to do that for the majority of a game.

This group is quite fascinating.

Was hoping Iceland would hang on, but Hungary definitely deserved that equaliser.

That's got to be the best stadium too, the crowds always sound great.

i think it is an also ran group, I doubt any semi finalists will be coming from it, unless Ronaldo turns it on.

I agree and this time I tuned in just in time to see it

Trying to think of what result tonight would be most favourable for Iceland. They're probably grand as long as they beat Austria but probably in their best interest if Portugal don't win.

I love it how Iceland score first and then sit back and defend for their lives, for nearly the whole of the second half and when Hungary scored they started to try and score the winner

Now why did Iceland not try and score the second goal in the first place instead of sitting back and letting Hungary have most of the ball

Unlucky, Iceland. Reminded me of Leicester, but without vardy. The master poacher.makes such a difference.

There also need Mahrez and Kante, but they just dont have that quality in the team
