Monday evening, despite overwhelming possession, the France team did not seem completely sovereign in their match against Iceland in Reykjavik, the fault of a crumbly defense and a lack of inspiration in attack. It's worth what it's worth, but despite the draw (2-2), Didier Deschamps' players can at least congratulate themselves on having extended an impressive series against their opponent.
The Team recalls that the Blues have not lost any of their 17 matches against the Icelanders, posting a record of twelve wins and five draws. This makes Iceland the nation that France has crossed most often without ever conceding defeat. A statistic which places the French team as the bane of Iceland, but which further accentuates the feeling of defeat after this draw.
