Gylfi Sigurdsson is living out his childhood dreams and cannot wait for Iceland's historic clash with England.
Monday pits the tiny Nordic island of just 330,000 inhabitants against the country that gave birth to football with a place in the Euro 2016 quarterfinals up for grabs.
England approach the match as overwhelming favourites, but Iceland have regularly shocked the continent's establishment and finished above Portugal in Group F.
Sigurdsson still smiles when recalling the last-gasp win against Austria and hopes for more fond memories in Nice on Monday.
"Physically I feel really good,'' the Swansea midfielder said following Wednesday's hard-fought match. "We had a few days to recover, which was really important.
"It was a fantastic game. I've dreamt about this since I was a kid, to play against England and to do it in the final 16.
"I think all the lads will be ready to play tomorrow. We're full of excitement, the game is near and hopefully we will do well tomorrow. We're looking forward to a very exciting game, one that I hope we will enjoy.''
It will be a momentous occasion at the Stade de Nice, where just 10 percent of the crowd are expected to be cheering on Iceland.
Sigurdsson criticised UEFA for the ticket distribution system that prevented more fans attending the game on the French Riviera.
"We would of course loved to have more tickets for the Icelandic people," he said.
"UEFA have to find another solution how they distribute the tickets for the knockout games. It would have been nice to have 10,000-15,000 people here. But that's just the way it is.
"I am sure the people at the game will be loud and hopefully we can make them proud.''
