ANNECY, France -- Icelands players will go into Sundays quarterfinal against France with exactly the same approach they had when sensationally eliminating England from the European Championship.They have nothing to lose.As the smallest nation to appear at a European Championship, Iceland was not burdened by the expectations heaped on England in Mondays round of 16 match. And the result was one of the biggest upsets in the competitions history, as Iceland came through with a well-deserved 2-1 victory.The pressure was always so much more on England. This was a game for them to lose and I think that has a big, big effect, joint-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson said at the teams tournament base at Annecy on Wednesday. They kinda mocked us a little bit before the game. This was a game for us, that we almost couldnt lose. Wed already won our supporters over.And Hallgrimsson thinks the situation will be the same at the Stade de France on Sunday.We can go relaxed, we can show our best. We dont have the pressure of the world that we need to win the game, he said.France has never lost to Iceland, which has a population of just 330,000, in their 11 previous meetings.Its a statistic that will have many France fans assuming their team already has a place in the semifinals.No one expected this and I think maybe the most difficult (thing) to handle is the expectations, said Lars Lagerback, who shares coaching duties with Hallgrimsson. Its always a benefit to be the underdog. France, of course, have really high expectations, like they had in England.Both coaches know that Iceland faces a huge challenge against a team with more technical ability and the resilience to always keep going to the very end.Thats because they have a lot of ball possession, Hallgrimsson said. They tire the opponents, so they score vital goals at the end of games. Well have to keep really focused and concentrated for the whole game, not only 90 minutes but 94 or 95, he said.Hallgrimsson, who also runs a dental practice at home, compared Icelands adventure tto that of Leicester, which unexpectedly won the Premier League last season.ddddddddddddThey played on their strengths and were trying to do the same. Theres the same team spirit in both teams. We are willing to work for each other and thats the only way for our team, said Hallgrimsson, who pointed out that most of Frances players were regularly playing Champions League football.Theres not many in the Iceland team that has played Champions League, he said. In individual quality you can see that they are superior. So we have to be collective and work together to make up for it.Responding to media suggestions that Englands loss was the worst in its history, Lagerback highlighted the strengths of Mondays winning team.Weve shown in matches that we have really, really good organization, were very difficult to break down, Lagerback said. The players on our team deserve a lot of credit for the way they are handling the games. But I dont care. I know of our analysis from the game, we know what we did well and we know what we can improve.One of five unbeaten teams to make it to the final eight, Iceland has already been improving as the tournament progresses. It opened with a 1-1 draw against Cristiano Ronaldos Portugal, then matched that result against Hungary and followed up with a 2-1 win over Austria before beating England.We have raised the standard of Icelandic football and we will maintain that standard and keep pushing forward, Hallgrimsson said.That standard also includes matters off the field.Lagerback demands professionalism from the players, and even criticized some of them for being a little sloppy by showing up late to the team dinner on Tuesday.Lagerbacks attitude is that Icelands players shouldnt get above themselves just because you beat the English. We keep the standard, were 100 percent professional. We try to build that into everything we do on the pitch, off the pitch. ' ' '
