England and Iceland have determined that they will not qualify, and Iceland has been downgraded from A gear ahead of schedule. Although the contest between the two sides will not have any impact on the result, this game is of great significance to both sides.
Battle of Names
England
England defeated Belgium 0-2 away in the last round, and recently suffered a losing streak in the UEFA Europa League series. At present, only 7 points after 5 rounds of group games are ranked third in the group. There is no possibility of qualifying for the team. The overall morale must not be too high. In fact, England has recently encountered a lot of trouble on the offensive end. The team lacks enough counter-attacking speed in the absence of Rashford, which is more deadly for them who are not good at positional warfare. In addition to the stadium, there have been three “cod wars” between England, where England is located, and Iceland.
Today it seems that the living standard of Icelanders is higher than that of the British, but Iceland, which had just separated from Denmark in the 1950s, was not so lucky. At that time, apart from geothermal resources, the only thing Iceland could rely on was the fishery resources of the North Atlantic fisheries, especially cod. The cod resources near the Icelandic waters have aroused the jealousy of other European countries. Especially the United Kingdom has come here many times to fish.
For this reason, there were three cod wars between Britain and Iceland. Although Iceland is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of absolute strength, they cleverly used their geographical advantages to cause NATO to mediate. After three cod wars, the Icelanders had the last laugh. Some fishing ports in England declined.
