2 quiet equal teams but it´s hard to compare since there are seniors as well in the squad.

Japan has some high quality players like Yoshiro Nakata 5707289 in the goal, Tashiaki Arai 3310419 as defender will be hard to pass.
On the midfield they have Reiichi Inoha 3680278 and up front they have their best striker Taisuke Hiraoka 4289944.

I will come back with the squad and tactics just before the match on Saturday.

We will play a quiet normal Island 4-4-2 tactic today where Sturlaugsson takes the winger position.

Goalkeeper:
Gissur has done great so far so he will take the keeper position today again.

Defenders:
Todays defender is Thor Sigfússon, Gustav Sveinbjörnsson, Atli Már Johnsson and Þorkell Skúlason. Good defenders all of them and hopefully they can stop Japans strikers.

Midfield:
We have Björn Þór Edvínsson as defensive mid, then Bárður Valsson and Ásbjörn Haraldsson as central mids, Sturlaugsson take the winger place on the right side.
I think the midfield is one of our stronger parts today, all of them has great passing skills so hopefully we will see some nice assists.

Strikers:
2 guys from Mithos team, Birkir Hilmarsson and Mark Ármannsson, will make our day today!

Áfram Ísland!

Thanks for this great match:)

but when i saw Inoha's injury I knew that will be harder.. haven't chances when inoha get injury;p but we shoot great goal :)

good luck in next matches:)

Thx for the match!

Kristinn was good at the wing but he needs to be a little bit more accurate with his passes.

The throw ins for U was always dangerous, i have to set my defenders better next match.

Good Luck in your coming matches!

yes ;p

throws was dangerous today because they pass to striker;p


ed. you've got very very very good GK;p

Who will be the next opponent?
