The slating of England can wait for another
post.
Let’s give Iceland and their fans the credit they deserve. On the pitch
they were majestic, totally organised, defensively solid, a team of players not
prima donnas. I even think they were unlucky to concede the penalty. Sure,
there was contact with Sterling, but the ball was beyond him, the chance gone.
To equalise so soon afterwards, and then
take the lead, shows spirit. And what about their fans, outsinging England’s, and
that loud one note chant/clap. Awesome. Just awesome. Every team should have
their own sound like that, but remember where they heard it first.
While much of the coverage will bemoan
England’s lamentable losers, let’s not forget Iceland had to win this against
massive odds, which they did with incredible ease. Their squad is already
legendary, England’s the exact opposite – though there isn’t a word to describe
that.
Got to be many people out there who want
Iceland to win Euro2016. I do.
