FISHHEAD Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 LVRJ Iceland won’t have a single player from the 2016 Euro roster competing in Las Vegas. Mexico is expected to play seven players with World Cup experience. “We won’t have our strongest team, but you never know in football,” said Thrandarson, who also plays club soccer in Norway. “There are always surprises when players are motivated. I think these young guys want to prove themselves and gain experience.” Iceland proved that the little guys always have a shot, but the country had a talented roster in France with players coming from top clubs in Germany and England. The Icelanders are ranked No. 21 in the FIFA rankings for a reason. “If we somehow get a win here (Las Vegas), that would be the real shocker,” Iceland coach Heimir Hallgrimsson said. “I was very surprised when I saw Mexico’s roster.” Hallgrimur Jonasson was supposed to be on Iceland’s A-team during that memorable run last summer. He played every match with the senior squad for five years until he was told he wasn’t going to France. “That was hard to accept,” said Jonasson, 30, a defender who plays club soccer in Denmark. “I was picked for every single game for five years. I was proud of my team and happy to see them beat England, but I wanted to be there. I want to prove to them that it was a mistake leaving me off.” Jonasson said most of the people in Iceland speak English and often learn from watching American television shows. Jonasson learned from watching American cartoons and Thrandarson brushes up on his English by watching “Prison Break.” “I wish I had more time to see Las Vegas but we’re here for a game,” Jonasson said. “I’ve seen ‘The Hangover’ and my friends have told me stories.” The 22-year-old Thrandarson grew up watching Barcelona matches in the early 2000s and was a fan of Mexico’s Rafael Marquez, who played eight seasons with the Spanish club. Marquez will suit up for El Tri on Wednesday. “Going up against the legend Rafa Marquez is exciting,” Thrandarson said. “I remember him playing with Ronaldinho. It was great football.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Paddy Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 I do not believe there is ANY alcohol in 7up. Will do a quick google search to find any research on the topic. Just fuck off. My first thought. Secondly, in related to the topic, Iceland can punch way above their weight. Giant killers in the European Championships.
