Congratulations to all 323,002 of Iceland's inhabitants! Your football team has made the round of 16!
Italy has the Lookahead to a tough matchup vs. Spain on Monday, we'll see some alterations in lineup vs.an Ireland team that needs to go all in here. Northern Ireland, England & Wales have all made it through, pressure will be squarely on Ireland here. Italy's Wins over Belgium & Sweden mean they can't be overtaken in the group, thus the tough game against Spain set and undoubtedly on their minds here to some degree.
Republic Of Ireland need to win this game vs. an Italian team that has little to play for here beyond Subs showing well vs. an Irish Defense that was exposed by Belgium in a 3-0 defeat.
Defenses let me down in these first matchups of the day, Austria defense terrible vs. that set piece to cost the first half draw, Portugal wtf?
Ronaldo stepped up but Portugal overall yet to inspire confidence.
Iceland, the smallest country in Europe, brings home that legendary 1st Win in a major tournament for their countrymen one game too late for me having called this victory vs. Hungary but fatigue saw them get their butts whooped in the final 3rd. Thus could I not back them here today. Too poor a showing in that final 3rd vs. Hungary.
Iceland won on the final kick of the game, in the 95th minute.
330,000 people in Iceland. Same amount of people as in South Bend Indiana.....per Mike Tirico just now.
Congrats to Iceland.
Iceland faces England next.
Iceland late goal to secure the Victory was a big break for Portugal.
Made Portugal go to face a weaker team than England.
