Iceland pulled off the biggest upset of Euro 2016 as they beat England 2-1 to qualify for the quarterfinals stage of the tournament on Monday.
Opportunity knocks for Iceland and potential disaster looms for Roy Hodgson’s England in their David-and-Goliath last 16 clash at Euro 2016 on Monday.
England winger Raheem Sterling was recalled in place of Adam Lallana as coach Roy Hodgson again made sweeping changes to his team for Monday’s Euro 2016 last 16 match against Iceland.
Hodgson has also recalled Wayne Rooney and Dele Alli in midfield, fullbacks Danny Rose and Kyle Walker plus Harry Kane, yet to score in the tournament, who will lead the line with support from the retained Daniel Sturridge.
Iceland, in the knockout stage on their first tournament appearance, go with the same starting XI who beat Austria last time out with coach Lars Lagerback confident they have all recovered from the physically draining performance.
Lagerback has never lost to England, drawing four and winning two as part of the Sweden coaching team.
