Burnley ace Johann Berg Gudmundsson: Iceland want England in World Cup

Burnley ace Johann Berg Gudmundsson admits Iceland would love to face England in the World Cup.

The 26-year-old has now set his sights on facing Gareth Southgate's side next summer.

“Hopefully we'll get England in the group phase," Gudmundsson said. “It was a great game for us last time and I believe we could beat them again.

“You read it in the media - they always come back to that game. The Iceland humiliation!

“The pressure on England is much more. I understand that - they have much more expensive players than we do and they haven't done as well as they should for a long time.

“So obviously the media, people are on at them, wanting more. The pressure is always going to be on them."
