Asunto: Næsti landsleikur

You are welcome, the match was really thrilling:)

Luck/random etc...is very useful in this game.
It would be boring if the dominating team would win all the time. Surprises are positive.

Seems that at least one Nigerian user isn`t satisfied with the result today. That makes me feel bit better.

As many of you know, SA is stronger, than Nigeria. Currently they have only 14 users, but those few manager have produced many star players. In the first round SA won Serbia 2:1. We have played against them once in the past - also in World Cup. I was the manager at that time an we lost a close match 1:2.

Defense:
I assume their defense isn´t much stronger, than ours. Only thing that worries me is goallie Lathan, who is in divine form. So it will be difficult to score a goal against him.

Midfield:
SA´s midfield seems to their strongest link on the pitch. By looking their value, then some players seem to be very dangerous. So they have an advantage on the midfield.

Offense:
Offense should be also bit better. Luckily their best striker Nasief Makhaye has only a poor form.


Players to look out for:
[color=orange size=4]★★★[/color] Samuel Mabizela
[color=orange size=4]★★[/color] Nasief Makhaye

Here is our line-up. Almost everything is perfect. Þráinnsson has a slight injury, but I hope he`ll be fine for tomorrow. Same problem with Halfdan Ludvigsen, but he is low form aswell. So probably he will miss this match.

Atli Már Thomasson
Bent Thorsen
Bragi Erlingsson
Finn Sjøberg
Gustav Sveinbjörnsson
Jon Bjelland
Jón Ingi Emilsson
Jónharður Kristófersson
Kristinn Sturlaugsson
Olgeir Guðgeirsson
Þórir Þráinnsson
Þorkell Skúlason
Veigar Sigursteinnsson
Viðar Sæmundsson
Viktor Stokka

Sorry, Disappointing match.

2 red cards in 18 minutes...nothing more to add. We had 3 really good chances aswell, unfortunately strikers didn´t score.

I think tactics was almost perfect, sturlaugsson was on the right wing. Only negative aspect were the throw ins, too predictable. Will work with them.

Shame about the cards....

Damn it, I forgot to make a preview from today`s match.

We played well...longer conclusion will come later. I have to go some basketball now

What can I say about today`s match.

Island played really good match. Defenders and strikers were mostly from the 1st line-up, but mids were subs. Some of them even made a debut today.
Estonia used it`s best U-21 mids and second line up strikers+defenders.

Positive from this match was that we lost only 1:5, which is really good to consider the fact that Eesti is one of the best in the world. First half lost only 1:2. Our goal was a real beauty after a nice combination.
Eesti scored goals only from long shots + one penalty.
Well played.

Yeah, was quite a nice game. And I'm happy that Haraldsson played at least decent... :-) But I guess for his age it wasn't that bad.

Our next opponent in World Cup is very strong Srbija
Currenty they are last in the group, but the reasons are, that they have played against the best in world - Poland and lost due to bad tactics against South Africa. Srbija`s average ratings in last two rounds have been around 57, our rating ~50. Definately they are the favorite to win.

In goal they have a divine keeper, who is will be our biggest threat not to score a goal. Their defense should be their weakest position on the pitch. Quite equal with us. Midfield and strikers are very strong compared with our players.
Especially I afraid Ivica Stojacic, who has scored 97 goals only in 48 matches. Tomorrow he has a chance to move 100+ goals club, but lets hope he will have a bad day and our defenders will make anything to stop him. On midfield we should afraid Svetko Simonović, who seems to be a real passing star.

Players to look out for:
[color=orange size=4]★★★[/color] Ivica Stojačić
[color=orange size=4]★★[/color] Svetko Simonović

I am not going to post our line-up here, because I am not sure, which players to use. Still waiting some pops and probably will make some changes in starting eleven tomorrow morning. Luckily all our best players are fit and ready to play. Only minus is that Halfdan L. isn`t in best shape..shame about that. About tactics, won´t reveal much, but this time I am going to use somehing new... trying to break opponent game by attacking in the middle.
But that`s all...won´t reveal more...that wouldn`t be useful for us.

Vilpu, what about Konráð Hjartarson?
I was looking through Ísland players, and.. well, he hasn't played a single match since 10-28..
?

Really weird. he is one of the best 20y old strikers we have. Going to talk with the manager.

Thanks

I have really nothing to say.

I suggest everybody to watch the match and decide which team was better today.

Our strikers just missed 5-6 one on one chances.

There was nothing I could do.

Good performance, really something to build on.

Keep on the good work.

Thanks, should have won this match.

Srbija is a thief

(they did not dis serf a draw) þíðir þetta ekki alveg örugglega (þeir áttu ekki skilið jafntefli)
