More frustrating than going out against Portugal? The whole English camp will be delighted with that winner by Iceland.

true…. on paper you'd expect England to win this one comfortably..

Iceland though have proved to be very resilient and dangerous on the counter attack..

I agree though… rather them than Portugal..

the other game for me is Spain v Italy..

my lil' Spanishy DNA bits are nervous about this one

Iceland will be tough ... they've seen England's weakness so will park 11 players in the penalty area and counter attack.

Tough yeah but, I'd be absolutely amazed if you didn't win though.

I wouldn't be if Portugal knocked you out.

No ones really looked like scoring against you.

There negativity towards this English team then there's this...

This is hands down an easier game than Portugal.

What exactly do Ireland have to do to be awarded a penalty? How many fouls in the box by the Italians before it becomes safe to make the right decision?

lloyd

Pretty shocking stuff.

Refs cop out against giving them in mismatches-not wanting to ref an upset IMO, we seen it last night.

lloyd

Huge miss by Hoolihan for Ireland. Wow, that was the chance there.

lloyd

I lied! Great cross by Hoolihan and its 1-0 85th minute!!!!!!!!!!

octatonic

Amazing Belgian goal around the same time too.

lloyd

Stays like this and Wales get NI in the next round-which I think we'll both be happy about?

I've no idea how the 3rd place stuff works.

lloyd

Awesome-all the home countries through and one will definitely be in the last 8, which is great.

Fair fucks to Ireland.

Nunogilberto

Well done Oireland. Great effort against the diving shirt pullers.

lloyd

Well I've got every result wrong over the last two days in my predictor thing....

Been some shocks though hey?

Awesome last fixtures of the groups.

Rocker

Dreamland Both Ireland's in the last 16. Wow!

joeyowen

Amazing! Home nations are doing us proud


If Ireland count as home?

I reckon we lose to France in the QFs, after beating Iceland in the round of 16.

So, as i said back in May, we'll face Iceland in the round of 16 and there is the possibility of facing France, if we win and they beat Ireland.

@Babones - What are my lottery numbers for this weekend, please?

Watching the hi lights. Shame I couldn't watch Hungary vs Portugal earlier, every goal a cracker.

NotNowJohn

Tonight I'm Irish. Absolutely brilliant result. I particularly liked Martin O'Neill's early celebration.

Hungary V Portugal most entertaining game so far - bonkers.

All out attack for England V Iceland I think. No need for defenders, get 5 strikers on and have at it.

I've had a drink...G'nite.

Outside of tournaments in England, the England football team have only ever won 5 knock-out games, beating:

Paraguay

Ecuador

Denmark

Belgium &

Cameroon....

That's a pretty shocking stat isn't it?

You should put a bid in to host a finals....
