Sigurdsson mocks English over confidence

The biggest mistake after watching Iceland get rid of England the way they did, would be to underestimate them from this moment forward. France is next and if they get too relaxed they will get defeated as well, today the only rival that looks to be doing things completely right as a title contender seems to be Italy. Today, Iceland would most probably lose against Italy, but the Nordic country looks like they can defeat any other team in the competition. 

As the pundits and analysts have been saying before the match today, what England had been doing during the past games, gave them enough reasons to believe Iceland could actually do something unique as they did. Gylfi Sigurdsson gave a quick analysis of the match, he thinks England didn't create any solid clear chances. And again, Iceland was the one with the last laugh now, getting called a puny team by the English is an adjective that doesn't fit. 

Sigurdsson told the press that: "What mattered is England thought it would be a walk in the park. But we had faith in our ability. England started very well, with a lot of power. But they were shocked by the equalizer and then the second goal shortly after. They panicked a little bit. They worked hard, but it is not easy to score against Iceland. It went well. We didn't feel they created any major chances in the second half. We could clear most of their long balls. We were never really stressed, apart from the final minutes before the final whistle."

"What I expect from France? I expect a good team in the next round. France are maybe similar to England. They have not been playing their best football yet and neither had England. It could be a similar game. But we would obviously like to be a bit more dominant."
