Are Iceland managed by Allardyce, lots of long balls.

Messi will drop back in a couple of years and be an amazing central mid imo.

I don't get the love for iceland. I mean i do in that they are an underdog, but they're boring, don't like their style of play and a bunch of inbred time wasters.

In American terms, it's like rooting for the West Virginia of the world.

Their energy is great though, they're chasing everything giving their all, it's great to see. Did they say their coach earns more in his second job as a dentist?

Yeah I agree, proper grafters, can’t fault their commitment. Yeah apparently he does more dental work than football managing.

Ha, mate look at their population, and their country, they're an inspiration. Countries with amazing resources like Italy and the Netherlands didn't make it from the same area. They've only got about 50 people to choose from, they're not going to be passing it around like Brazil.

The have the population of a Miami and compete with teams containing the best players in the world, and they don't have a Ronaldo/Bale to carry them. They do what the have to.
