Italy vs Iceland Live Stream: UEFA Women's England 2022 Live Stream

Italy v Iceland live stream, Thursday 14 July, 5pm BST, BBC Two

rxhmadi.com - Italy will be looking to bounce back from their 5-1 thrashing by France on matchday one when they lock horns with Iceland in the early kick-off on Thursday. With serious doubts surrounding the togetherness and team spirit within the French camp, many tipped Italy to give them a tough game on matchday one. The Azzurre do not have as much talent within their ranks as les Bleues, but their organisation, discipline and camaraderie was a recipe for a potential upset.

As it was, Italy were demolished by a stunning showing from France, all five of whose goals came in the opening 45 minutes. Italy simply had no response to the brilliance of their opponents, who attacked relentlessly and did not give Milena Bertolini's side a moment's peace.

It is vital that Italy bounce back on Thursday. France should win Group D pretty comfortably, but second place is up for grabs. Italy were the pre-tournament favourites to advance to the quarter-finals, but the manner of their defeat on Sunday will have given Belgium and Iceland a lift.
