LITHUANIA BOSS: WE’LL DO AN ICELAND

- BY SIMON MULLOCK

LITHUANIA boss Edgaras Jankauskas last night warned England: “We’re going to shock you – just like Iceland.”

Jankauskas admitted his side – ranked 107 in the world – would love to haunt England with a victory every bit as damaging as Iceland’s Euro 2016 triumph.

The former Lithuania striker knows all about upsetting the odds s after making Porto’s squad for their surprise 2004 Champions League final triumph over Monaco, the 3-0 win inspired by Jose Mourinho.

“Iceland would be a great example to follow,” said Jankauskas (below). “But it will be an extremely tough game for us. “First of all, it’s a privilege to play at such a legendary stadium as Wembley. An And there are many examples where n not necessaril­y the favourites win t the game. “We are a humble team, but we h have our game plan and we’ll stick to that. We’ll think more about our gam game than the opponent. We know we play against top, top players, representi­ng the best league in the world. “It’s a great test for us where we have to be collective­ly, tactically and mentally strong to deny that quality.”
