Maybe we will examine how we exited the tournament, with the France game getting away from us so early, and wonder whether the mental impact of beating England contributed. The players are now legends in the eyes of Iceland’s people. We have found a way to win football matches using our players’ specific qualities, and by getting everything out of them. I said before the England game that victory would change everyone’s lives, and my opinion has not changed after such a remarkable night. If you harness those qualities then you have a chance, whatever your circumstances, and I hope we showed that in France.
