georginho_juventusygr Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Nice to see that Eiður in his old career days could experience Iceland going to the quarter-final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulHartman71 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Great tournament for Iceland, fair play to them. France looking very strong and will have momentum going into the Germany game. Should be a cracking match. Which means it will be a 0-0 and the Germans will win on penalties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebs Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Turned over to watch Top Gear when it got to 3-0...Iceland are an embarrassment. Clap yourselves back on that boat beardmen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astafjevs Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Lee Dixon is awful. Not difficult to see why Kanté coming back is in question. France's best efforts have been without him in the team, albeit against weak teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icelander83 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Only team to score against France in open play (so far) Only team to score twice against France (so far) Should have had a penalty, ref was a bit of a horror show in the second half (both ways fwiw). This game sure as hell solidified any claim for video reffing. Once we didn't get a corner when we definitely should have, then there was the penalty, then there was a time where the ball went off a French defender, didn't even cross the line and they got a goal kick And to make it very clear before some buffoon makes the claim, nothing the ref did affected the result. Even if we had the penalty we were losing that game, the French were simple better. As for the "LOOK INGERLUND, IT'S THAT EASY!!"... They don't have half the players required to play the way France did ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartwork Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Turned over to watch Top Gear when it got to 3-0...Iceland are an embarrassment. Clap yourselves back on that boat beardmen. Give over. Anyway Iceland can go home knowing they did themselves proud and kept attacking until the end. If only they'd tried that approach sooner. They've exposed some of France's defensive frailties though and the Germans will look to exploit that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Well played Iceland for giving it their best shot. Been a credit to the tournament. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigcwwe Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Good game that, Iceland, despite conceding five goals put in a decent performance, never let their heads drop and kept attacking when they could. Griezmann was superb, one goal and two assists from him I think. Think France will be slight favourites vs Germany on Thursday in the semi final.

Icelander83 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I must say (as I've said on twitter) that I found it odd that at 4-0, 5-2 etc that you couldn't hear a damn thing from the 70k-ish French in the stadium while you could hear the 10k Icelanders loud and clear for nearly the entire game.

Sid1984 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Turned over to watch Top Gear when it got to 3-0...Iceland are an embarrassment. Clap yourselves back on that boat beardmen. The only embarrassment they caused is when they battered England and knocked them out without even breaking sweat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartwork Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 So which set of PL fans are stealing the Icelandic clap routine & turning it into a cringey mess? A good deal of them. It's going to be embarrassing. Apparently Motherwell are the team that introduced it to Iceland (playing Stjarnan, who first used it before the NT adopted it). So, they can probably get away with it.

Heartwork Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Apparently Iceland have been pumping loads into developing youth football down the years so it's always good to see it finally get results. Might see a few scouts from across Europe attending their league's games next season looking to get in early on any rough diamonds that might be breaking out. Would say the same for Wales except very little is being done for actual Welsh clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icelander83 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I would expect scouts from Europe here next season (which is now, really, seeing as how ours is a summer league) based mostly on the fact that they already come watch our games. Oh and based on the fact we are sending kids abroad already by the dozens when they are 14-15, I'd say they are well underway with the diamond prospecting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read somewhere about a month ago that his mother is Belgian and therefor Belgium is interested in having him as well. Trained with our national -U17 2 months ago. Truthfully first thing I heard about him as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
