Here’s what the Coaches had to say about today’s match

Didier Deschamps

We know [Iceland] often use low, straight throw-ins with well-defined positioning because that’s something they’ve been repeating match after match.

They have quality players who can also play on the ground with combinations.The players know Iceland aren’t here by chance.

I’ve seen teams start well and finish badly; it’s better to do things the other way round as we have been doing. When I see things aren’t going well then I react, as I did in the last game when I sent Kingsley Coman to warm up in the 35th minute.

Lars Lagerback

I wouldn’t talk of weaknesses, but France have a style and attitude that is quite attacking and that’s something we could use.

In football it’s difficult to score goals so if we can keep our opponents from scoring, then we give ourselves every chance of winning.

What I hear from Iceland and the support we have here, I understand that this is of course really big. Almost all the population are watching on TV or out in the streets. It would be fantastic to pay that back and [cause] a bit more of an upset at this EURO, so we can let the people and fans really feel the joy we feel when it’s going so well.

Betting Odds –

France to win: 2/5
Iceland to win: 15/2

Our Prediction

As much as we would like to see Iceland winning we don’t see it Happening. France winning 2-0
