  2. 'We have a clear identity'published at 16:35 British Summer Time 16 June 2018

    Argentina 1-1 Iceland

    Iceland coach Heimir Hallgrimsson: "We played our defence brilliantly, we knew that they would have 60 or 70% possession and it is difficult to defend against that. But all credit for their hard work. There was nothing in their game that surprised us.

    "We are bluntly honest about our ability, We know how we can win football matches. It is just a fact that Argentina have superior individuals with superor skills and if we go one-on-one with them you don't need to ask who will win the game. We have to play in a special way and we have a clear identity."

  3. "Are you Ronaldo's uncle?"published at 16:31 British Summer Time 16 June 2018

    Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo hit out at Iceland's lack of ambition after the two sides drew 1-1 at Euro 2016.

    The Real Madrid player also refused to shake the hands of the Iceland players after the group match in Saint-Etienne.

    "I thought they'd won the Euros the way they celebrated at the end," he said two years ago.

    Somebody just asked the Icelandic goalkeeper why they celebrated so much and he answered;

    "Are you Ronaldo's uncle?"

    Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson: "For me as a goalkeeper to play for Iceland and face the best player in the world at a penalty is a big moment and a dream come true to save it, especially as it helped us get a big point which I hope is going to prove important to us. It is our goal to qualify.

    "I did some homework. This was a situation which I knew could come up. I looked at a lot of penalties from Messi and had a good feeling that he would go this way today."

    "We were very slow on the ball," says Jorge Sampaoli. He also says that his side do have the offensive creativity to move into the next stage.

    Jay: It must be hard being Aguero in this Argentina team. He scored a wonderful goal and, except for those 5 minutes, all talk has been around Messi's lack of form.

    Centurions: No doubt Aguero would have scored that penalty.

  8. 'Leo is committed'published at 16:20 British Summer Time 16 June 2018

    Argentina 1-1 Iceland

    Argentina manager Jorge Sampaoli: "To evaluate and characterise Lionel Messi's work is difficult because it was an uncomfortable match for him. Iceland played very defensively, blocking all spaces but we did everything we could to win. Leo is very committed to Argentina."

    Remember this...

    Argentina failed to win their opening match at a World Cup tournament for the first time since losing to Cameroon in 1990. They eventually reached the final of that edition, losing out to Germany.

    Argentina played into Iceland's hands. They kept looking to play through the eye of needle. With a Jorge Sampaoli side you expect more from the flanks, two v ones out wide and players looking to get in behind.

    I'm absolutely delighted for Iceland. A team that puts that amount of effort in is extraordinary. Interesting at full time, did they run about as if they won the World Cup? Did they celebrate with the fans? No they just turned to each other and said 'good point in the bag.'

    That's a team that believes in themselves.
