Sigurdsson can't wait for dream clash against England

Iceland are currently making history, they already did it by qualifying for the final stage of the European Championship for the first time in their history. But they surprised the world by qualifying above Portugal in Group F and defeating Austria in the last game of the group stage. This has given them the unique chance of facing England, one of the greats in football history that have only won a single World Cup way back in 1966. The Iceland team is quite excited for the chance of beating the Three Lions. Gylfi Sigurdsson in particular, can't wait for the day to arrive. 

Talking to the press ahead of the game, he said: "I have dreamt of this since I was a kid. Playing against England and doing so in the round of 16 is huge. We are full of excitement. We were so close to winning in the second game, but we messed up. That's why we were really relieved to beat Austria and qualify. You dream of celebrating with your fans like that. England was not at their best in group stages, but still qualified - it illustrates how strong their squad is. They have some great attackers, who have been scoring goals for fun last season.

"I am looking forward to playing against my former team-mates. I am good friends with the Tottenham players. We are still in touch and have been sending each other text messages. It is a very important game for the team and the country. All the players will know England. I won't be giving tips - the coach will come up with a plan. We are looking forward to the game, it will be very exciting."
