Have you seen the game though? They scored from a flukey penalty and a set piece (scrimmage from a corner kick). It's not like they were blazing past us in viking fury. They really weren't impressive. Hardly created anything, got a few chances from counters and that's about it.

Next to the fact that we were underwhelming as fuck. That too of course. So fuck Hiddink for that.

Iceland had 5-6 good chances
Holland had 1-2 good chances
Iceland scored 2 goals
Holland scored 0 goals

Despite Holland having the ball more Iceland was in full control of this game.

Who the fuck bigged up Iceland before the game? Is anyone surprised that they made the most out of whatever little chances they had? I didn't see the Spanish making excuses when Slovakia beat them in exactly the same way.

Oh the press were all like Iceland is tough this and that. If we were in a good flow and had won our previous games no one would have wrote shit like that, but in times of crisis the press is all over the NT.

And no I'm not making excuses. Just reponding to you really.

Accept your new place in world football. You're below Iceland now, maybe we can fit you in somewhere between Slovakia and Cape Verde Islands. Don't worry, we'll join you down there.

It's shocking to see Iceland getting underrated all the time despite having many many good high caliber players. This is a team that was one good game away from being the smallest nation ever to play in the World Cup 2014

Haha, I was already shocked when Switserland and Belgium were ranked above us by the FIFA. Luckily king Louis set that straight. So Hiddink can fuck it all up now.

I don't know what your definition of high caliber is but except for Siggy none of your players plays for a 'big' club. And even Ajax is questionable in that. What can you honestly expect?

From Fergusons interview

Without giving away exactly what you said [to the Ryder Cup team], what was the thrust of your message?
I think it was talking about the experience of being a favourite because Europe were favourites for the tournament. There's nothing wrong with being favourites, it's just a matter of living up to the expectations. But I must say I got more out of it than they did because I was excited by it, to speak to such great golfers. There was great chemistry and a bit of banter after it too because Poulter's an Arsenal fan so he was giving me some stick and Lee Westwood's a Forest fan and Thomas Bjorn's a big Liverpool fan so he gave me some stick. There was some great banter and I enjoyed all that.

Such Banter

Iceland has at least 3 players that could be in the Holland starting 11, mostly in the defense

High caliber players? Fuck. Just wait until the return game. Average players pushing above their weight doesn't make them high caliber. They're average.

Siggy is average too. They defended well as a unit and we were offensively very poor that's why we lost.
 
Wish i bookmarked a film podcast website ages ago about guys who had watched classic films for the first time and commented on them. I can't find it anymore

Our defence is pretty bad at the moment. But that wasn't my question. Your squad plays in Scandinavian leagues for the most part. Your captain plays at Cardiff. Real Sociedad, Swansea and Ajax are the biggest clubs amongst them. They're a group of players who usually don't operate on a high level of football. Don't you think it's normal people don't expect too much from them?

I do respect Iceland for getting the results. As a team they manage to overcome the difference in individual qualities by fighting for each other and working together. They have an amazing spirit.

As others have said it isn't that at all, nor is it exactly what Roy is saying.

It's bespoke resting and training regimes built for each player to maximise the time they can train during the interim between matches.

For all intensive purposes it's an excellent system that more clubs should adopt; our fitness and injury records for the last two seasons have been excellent. The majority of our players get injured playing for their national team, which I'd fucking outlaw because international football is a pointless walkabout exercise that offers no tangible sporting value.

Did you watch the world cup?

Or the last few euros?

People have short memories, the qualification and friendlies being poorly thought out is not indicative of international football. It sure as hell offers more value than the premier league, who give fuck all back.

Don't buy international players btw, if you don't want that problem. Join the smaller clubs outside the premier league. Its not like Sterling hasn't been played into the ground by his club, like you did Owen and various other young players. Goes both ways yet people like yourself say this hypocritical shit all the time when it affects your club. Do you see Barca, Chelsea, Madrid etc. pissing and moaning about having international class players while picking up their trophies.

I don't have massive hands, wherever did you get this notion

I woke up the first time at 7 today by someone calling me, can't even sleep during my week off.

Whenever I get more than a few weeks holidays, I will turn around my sleeping schedule though, it just feels good to be awake at night.

Is Malta even a real country? I have yet to see any solid proof it actually exists.

Many moons ago I had a pre-season tournament in Malta. Faced a U18-Malta side which were rumoured to have some United trialists in their team. Mostly remember it from the parties though and me waking up at 3 am to loan my team- and roommate a condom so he could shag a local in her car. What a pre-season.
