Britain "froze" says Iceland legend 

Iceland legend Ragnar Sigurdsson said England's arrogance brought on their mortifying 2-1 annihilation to the Nordic minnows and they "froze" in a standout amongst the most shocking football upsets. "They thought this would be a stroll in the recreation center," said Sigurdsson, who scored Iceland's first objective. "Yet, we had confidence in our capacity," he said. Roy Hodgson's side slammed out of Euro 2016 after the 30-year-old guard offset Wayne Rooney's fourth-minute opener. "I think its the second or third objective scored with long toss, its one of our weapons that we utilize a great deal, so nothing unexpected there," he said. At that point Kolbeinn Sigthorsson's manageable shot squirmed past England goalkeeper Joe Hart for an eighteenth moment victor. "We didn't feel that they made any odds," said Sigurdsson. "Kane had an open door and headed directly at our goalkeeper. A considerable measure that we were heading without end, long shots from separation we were keeping clear. I wasn't generally focused on separated from the latest possible time," he said. The most recent minutes were "somewhat troublesome". "They began off extremely well with awesome power and got an early objective, yet I think they were a tiny bit stunned by the equalizer and the 2-1 objective straight after, I think they froze a smidgen," he said. "I think (England) are clearly a decent group and made a decent attempt yet as you most likely are aware it is difficult to score an objective against Iceland"
