England skipper Wayne Rooney says the Iceland national team has the full respect of he and his Three Lions teammates.

As England prepare to take on the tiny Nordic country in the Round of 16 at Euro2016, Rooney has made it clear that this fixture in Nice is one that cannot be taking for granted.

"Fair play to Iceland, they've done well in this tournament and are a difficult team to break down," Manchester United star Rooney said.

"We'll have to be at our best to win, we know that. We'll have to move the ball quickly and take our chances when they come. We respect Iceland and I think the size of the country is just a number.

"They put the same amount of players on the pitch as we do so it's a fair game in that respect."
