Of the four matches to take place in Stade de Nice, the final one will between England and Iceland on Monday 27th June 2016 at 20:00. Iceland's 2-1 victory over Austria last night gave them the runners-up spot.

Last nights match in the Stade de Nice saw a late victory for a tired Belgian side who had used their all to beat Ireland 3-0 at the weekend. Sweden were in the game but couldn't give the performance needed to take them through to the next 16.

Thousands of England fans are expected to arrive int he south fo France over the weekend. Next Monday both teams will have to combat the heat of the Riviera but will England be able to melt down Iceland's defences to make it through to the next round?
