Euro 2016 Focus on Iceland

2016-06-18 07:11:00 from:SNTV

Iceland are looking to build on their shock draw against Portugal by beating their next Group Fopponents Hungary in Marseille on Saturday.

SOUNDBITE (English) Kolbeinn Sigthorsson, Iceland forward:

(on their 1-1 draw with Portugal)

"Like Aron said, we tried to take all the positive things from that. We feel the support we have from Iceland, also from the rest of the world. I mean, even though we made a 1-1 draw against Portugal it seems we surprised the world even more. I think we need to use it in the right way, just to stay on the ground and keep focused on the next game."

SOUNDBITE (English) Lars Lagerback, Iceland head coach:

(on Hungary coach Bernd Storck)

"That's difficult to answer, I mean I don't know him that well so I (don't) know how he's thinking. Four points has probably qualified them for the next round - at the same time every coach wants to come as high as possible in the group because then you have probably a better travel for the knockout matches and if you end up third you have a risk that you only have two days between the group stage and the next game. So I'm just guessing but I suppose he would like to have three points because he wants to get as high as possible in the group."
