Facing England will be a 'dream come true' - Arnason
2016-06-23 05:25:00 from:SNTVIceland's man of the match reacts after his side's last gasp 2-1 victory over Austria, that sets up a match against England in the knockout stages at Euro 2016.
SOUNDBITE: (Icelandic) Kari Arnason, Iceland midfielder:
"I can't really describe it, to do this with your best friends is fantastic. This is the feeling of all the lads in the group, we're a tight knit group and what we've done is just fantastic and it's extra special to do it with your friends, and of course with all these supporters as well. Ten thousand people from Iceland, it is unbelievable. Like I've said before it's like having your family at the game. I know at least 50 percent of the crowd. Or at least recognize them."
SOUNDBITE: (Icelandic) Kari Arnason, Iceland midfielder (on playing England in the last 16. He has previously played in England for Plymouth and Rotherham):
"I've always supported England at tournaments when we haven't played. It's a dream come true. We're going into the game with full force. We go into the game to get a result. We believe in our ability."
