“[It was a] lucky night [for Iceland, and they parked] a bus in their net.
“Portugal try to play football and try to win the game. Iceland didn’t try anything.
“They were just defend, defend, defend and playing on the counter-attack.”
“It was a little bit frustrating, we tried hard to win the game, Iceland didn’t try anything.
The rankings don’t mean anything. We just try our best, keep the ball all the time and Iceland didn’t try anything, they were just ‘defend, defend, defend’ and playing on the counter attack. It was a lucky night for them. We should have three points but we are OK.
