The good news is that Iceland are on track to win Euro 2020, and France are in serious trouble. Iceland have won all five of their meetings with Andorra Moldova are ranked 170th in the FIFA rankings. We beat Turkey emphatically last time they met in 2017, with a 3-0 scoreline Albania were dispatched 2-1 at the two teams’ last meeting in 2013.
Iceland have a decent record with the other group contenders: Turkey, Albania, Moldova and Andorra. France ended Iceland’s legendary Euro 2016 run in the quarter finals, but the last time the two sides met in a hotly contested “unfriendly”-after France had won the World Cup-the prancing French narrowly scraped a 2-2 draw after throwing on star forward Mbappe to try and save their crumbling honour. The Euro 2020 qualification groups have been drawn, and Iceland will once against face their old rivals, World Cup holders France. It is impressive the whole squad of travelling Icelanders survived, given that the fixture was played out on the surface of the sun. A tough fixture list and a scroll’s-worth of injuries hasn’t helped Erik Hamrén imprint his style onto the group since the World Cup, and some positives can be taken from the 2-2 friendly draw against World Champions France in October however, Hamrén’s mid-game yawn said it all about Iceland’s 2-2 draw against Qatar in November. A Michy Batshuayi brace sank the Icelandic longboat, marking the end of a dismal run in which Iceland scored only once and conceded 13 in four games. Our boys remain winless under the yoke of Swedish manager Erik Hamrém, having lost 2-0 to bottleless Belgium in their ignominious debut Nations League campaign. Here’s a rundown of the latest news from Camp Smite.
After the end of their injury-smited, ignominious UEFA Nation’s League campaign, the horde has dispersed back to their day jobs, once more smiting all and sundry in the top-tier contests across Europe.
