We will win this game. We are better than them in every way.
The way you lot are talking we've limped into the second round. Well pundits in Iceland think they've been unlucky at having to play one of the best teams in the tournament so far tomorrow. They rate us very highly, and their coach thinks we're serious contenders for the trophy.
We battered Russia and were robbed by a last gasp equaliser.
We battered Wales for 60 minutes and deserved to win that one.
We battered Slovakia for 90 minutes and just didn't have any luck in front of goal.
We're playing very well. We have a very good team with a good blend of youth and experience. We have some very exciting footballers, and technically our youngsters are up there with the best in the world at last.
We'll win this by at least a couple of goals in 90 minutes.
Stop talking down our country and start celebrating the fact we have a very exciting team that has the potential to end our trophy drought. If not at these Euros, definitely at the next World Cup.”
Being the better side and 'battering' a team is a bit different!
Fully expect an England win tonight, which would mean 2 'home' sides in the QFs....which is great. (Am Welsh and also wanted the Irish teams to do well.) But said elsewhere that I do like an underdog and wouldn't exactly be gutted if Iceland pull off something remarkable, I do admit.)
Then again, are you the FM who wanted England to 'batter' and 'humiliate' Wales? And what are your thoughts on Wales v Belgium? Want another 'battering' of us uppity Welsh? If so.....c'mon Iceland!!
Seriously, think it'll be 2 or 3 Nil to England.
