Dugout Discussion – Portugal vs Iceland

Tuesday’s second Euro 2016 match sees Portugal take on Iceland, the smallest nation to ever reach the European Championship finals.

Despite using just 20 players during qualifying, Iceland came second in a tough group, which also included Holland and the Czech Republic, to reach their first major tournament. While their confidence will be further buoyed by a 4-0 friendly victory over Lichtenstein, the Scandinavians, who are under the dual management of Lars Lagerback and Heimir Hallgrimsson, also recorded a 3-2 loss against Norway during their pre-tournament preparations.

Fernando Santos’ Portugal topped their qualifying group and are veterans of the final stages of this competition, having reached the semi-finals in four of their last six appearances. Cristiano Ronaldo will be heavily relied on having scored or assisted nine of Portugal’s 21 goals since his European Championship debut in 2004. The Real Madrid forward also comes into the competition in good recent form, scoring a brace as Portugal beat Estonia 7-0 during their pre-tournament build up.

      I'm in the same boat. Might move to Ozil or Kroos but I'm not sure against Poland. Maybe Andre Gomes worth a punt?

    We haven't got long to make transfers before the next round of games. What a load of excrement this site is. They may as well let us make transfers early.

    Looks like I'll have to make transfers from the toilet cubicle at work tomorrow. 😎
