Iceland look to get past post-Euros ‘hangover’

After their summer heroics, Iceland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson hopes his team can use tonight’s friendly against Ireland to further rid themselves of the hangover which followed.

Expectation accompanied the “Vikings” into this World Cup tilt after they, like Wales, emerged as the surprise packets at the European Championships.

Their victory over England to reach the quarter-final was one of the standout moments of the tournament, as was the Viking Thunderclap chant which followed them throughout, win or lose.
