Playing XI of both the teams:


Iceland XI: Hannes Halldorsson, Ari Skulason, Ragnar Sigurdsson, Kari Arnason, Birkir Bjarnason, Birkir B., Gylfi Sigurdsson, Aron Gunnarsson, Johann Gudmundsson, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Kolbeinn Sigthorsson.


France XI: Hugo Lloris, Sagna, Laurent Koscielny, Samuel Umtiti, Patrice Evra, Paul Pogba, Blaise Matuidi, Moussa Sissoko, Antoine Griezmann, Dimity Payet, Olivier Giroud.


By no means the hosts can take Iceland lightly after the minnows stunned England in their last 16 encounter, where they came from behind to seal the match 2-1.

France needed late goals to overcome Romania and Albania in the group stage, while Antoine Griezmann rescued Les Bleus as they rallied after falling behind in the second minute against the Republic of Ireland in the last round.


With Adil Rami suspended, Deschamps is set to hand 22-year-old Barcelona-bound Samuel Umtiti his international debut alongside Laurent Koscielny in defence.

N`Golo Kante is also serving a one-match ban with Kingsley Coman, Moussa Sissoko and Yohan Cabaye all candidates to replace the energetic Leicester City midfielder.

The pressure is all on the hosts as they look to repeat their feats at the 1984 Euros and the 1998 World Cup by winning a major tournament on home soil,

Didier Deschamps and his men are totally aware that Iceland's success so far in the tournament is no fluke.


"It`s not by chance Iceland have made it through," France goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris said on Saturday.

Irrespective of the result of the match, the Iceland players have made their countrymen proud, as theirs is a population of 330, 000.

The winner of the match will be up against Germany in the semis.
