Euro 2016 - France cut short Iceland's fairytale run


France didn’t huff and puff last night and the natural order of a mega event has been restored. It will be a France v Germany semifinal and those who are well aware about the history of football will certainly realize how iconic this clash has been over the years.

Still, France’s defensive fragility were evident, even though not fully exposed. This chink needs to be ironed out against Germany who have an edge over the French since 1982. But the French team were brilliant last night and never let Iceland to settle and plan for another upset.

But the Iceland team and its fans were not upset at all, even after such a humiliating defeat. This team is already a legend in the history of Iceland’s football. The passion of their fans, the determination of the team and their post-match celebration with their team had been one of the most abiding memories of this year’s Euro. Iceland have given us enough fun.


Thank you Iceland.

Thank You
