Euro2016: England clash a ‘dream come true’ for Iceland star Arnason

Iceland's Kari Arnason is very much looking forward to the chance to take on England in the Round of 16 at Euro2016.

Arnason and his Iceland teammates defeated Austria 2-1 in Paris on Wednesday to set up a tantalising knockout stage clash with England, who Malmo's Arnason admits he used to support, following his time spent with Plymouth Argyle and Rotherham United.

"I have always supported England in the big international tournaments when we haven't been playing," said Arnason.

"It's a dream come true.

"We will go into this game with full force to get a result. We believe in our ability."

Iceland and England will meet in Nice on Monday.
