Before the France vs Iceland match began, there was a lot of excitement in the air for what the Nordic country could do against France. There were even folks that actually believed that betting on Iceland would be a great way to make some top dollar, people that put €10 or €20 just for fun with hopes that Iceland could upset France and keep making history. But this is not a fairy tale, this is real life and the French weren't going to let some fairy tale tamper with their tournament.
Although the Icelanders tried with all they could, France had a whole country right there to support them, well Iceland kinda did have a whole country inside that stadium due to that whole low population. But in all seriousness, what this national team did was fantastic, a brave performance that won't be forgotten that easily. Iceland player Sigurdsson was disappointed by the result, because he really did feel for a moment there, that Iceland could actually upset France. We all felt that for a moment really, all but the French.
The Iceland player said: "We were lacking a bit of power, a bit of energy during the first half. It was not the usual Icelandic performance. It was all about restoring some pride and giving the fans and the people back home a performance during the second half. France were 4-0 up at half-time and probably thinking about the next game, resting themselves and making sure they didn't get injured. I'm not worried about winning the second half. We lost the game."
The Swansea City midfielder added: "The way we played the first four games - playing very physically with high energy and defending really well - all of the games were played to the last second. We were hanging on in a few of the games, England and Austria. We never really had a game where we were 3-0 up and cruising so we could make some changes to rest players. I think that probably played in France's favor because they have got a very big squad, had some good results and could rest some players. Apart from how good technically they were tonight, I think they had a lot more energy."
Sigurdsson also thanked the fans for the incredible support, 15,000 Iceland souls traveled from their country to support their team: "That was the thing with all of the games - the fans have been incredible. The scenes from back home have been amazing. If I wasn't here I would probably want to be back home watching the games with the fans. Even though we lost they were celebrating and cheering us on. Those are the things you will remember for the rest of your life."
