Patrice Evra: France will not make the same mistakes as England did against Iceland
Friday, July 01, 2016 Source: Dailystar.co.ukThe ex-Manchester United defender reckons Roy Hodgson’s men did not take the minnows seriously enough in their shock 2-1 defeat in Nice.
Evra said: “We do not under-estimate this opposition.. Iceland deserved to win.
"I respect them. Iceland has very good players. We will take them seriously.”
Many England fans were relieved that they had avoided a battle with old foes Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo.
They knocked England out of Euro 2004 and the World Cup in 2006, with Ronaldo accused of getting Wayne Rooney sent off.
However, Iceland proved to be no pushovers after all and will be aiming to end France's dream of winning Euro 2016 on home soil.
