England having to control possession and take the game to an organised, counter attacking team. Sure no one could have seen this coming.

International upsets then:

USA 1-0 England 1950
North Korea 1-0 Italy 1966
Algeria 2-1 West Germany 1982
Cameroon 1-0 Argentina 1990
Senegal 1-0 France 2002

would this be up there?

I can't remember whether it was on here or Twitter that I said as an England fan I was more worried about Iceland than about Portugal, in spite of all the focus on the latter.

Thursday's vote ensured I'm not worried any more, I was expecting to not care two hoots but found myself actually cheering when that second goal went in.

Man, I hope that's genuine.

They'll make it up in (probably already gargantuan) sales in Scotland. Can't stand the place myself. Always meant something shit for tea.

(I won't put it past people attacking a fucking frozen food supermarket in this climate).

England is nowhere near the level of the losing teams there.

Yep. Everyone in my block must surely now think I'm Icelandic. I could pass for it, to be fair. I'm pasty and I look permanently annoyed, so that's pretty much the look nailed.

You either do or you don't man, FIFA rules are fairly explicit. Which is it?

Well I don't. She was Faroese. But she would have been cheering on Iceland in viking solidarity so I'm kind of invested. I like to think whatever plane her soul is now on she heard me scream when the second one went in.

Fucking hell, Tyldesley just compared Iceland in the last 16 of the Euros to San Marino.

They need to be building extra circles of hell for that twat.

Anyone who selects Sterling in the face of all the evidence needs medication.

Can anyone else see Alli losing it and going for the early bath?

GSTQ rings out. Perhaps she could play on the left instead of Sterling. She'd be on the right of course.

Iceland are going to get another on the break. Roy really is a master tactician.
