Euro 2016 :5 takeaways from France vs Iceland

2) Iceland played with pride

Iceland had a historic run in the Euros , they defied all expectations and odds to reach the quarter finals. They were thrashed 4-0 in the first half , still they showed no signs of distress , instead played just the way they did in their previous games. France took their foot off the pedal in the second half and Iceland capitalized , scoring through Sigthórsson before Giroud added France’s second. They continued to play with the same spirit with their fans constantly behind them , and went on to score another with just 6 minutes to play. A bad performance on the day, but overall not many countries have done what Iceland achieved this year.
