Ísland U21 - : - Portugal U21
Today we are playing against U20 Portugal. They reached the 1/4 finals on the last WC where the where eliminated against Spain by losing 0-8. I expect they will play an attacking tactic. It will be a hard game for Iceland.
We will play with our strongest available team.
Björn Friðbjörnsson has a slight injury and will not play today.
Tumi Garðarsson has a bad form and will be replaced by Knútur Þorbergsson.
Still have some issues I have to solve before the game.
In the defence I have to make a choice between Ögmundur Gabríelsson or Knútur Fannason. Knútur is the best player but his form is low.
Also have to chose between Kolbeinn Baldursson and Leifur Kristbjörnsson as striker.
Kolbeinn Baldursson is close to become the best U21 striker at the age of 19.

We won against Portugal!
Finally a nice result, and I thing it was a deserved victory.
The offside trap worked well, passing was ok. The Strikers finding the nets again.
I am happy with this result.

België U21 - : - Ísland U21
After the victory against Jamaica we are facing my home country Belgium.
We will play with a U20 selection. Belgium will play with a mixed team of A-team players and "prono" players.

I am sorry for being so inactive. I have not that much time for the moment.
The spare time, I use to search for some new players and try to help some managers to train the young iselandic players. Also try to get some players free.
Today we played against Suomi, much stronger but we didn't lose. That is the most important today.

Looks like Iceland U20 selection has quite good defenders? Nice draw against stronger team!
I remember times when Iceland U21 bigest problem was defenders pace;) but its 3-4 season ago
Yes, the current U20 generation for defs are nice. But we only have 4.
If you compare with for example Belgium, the are only avarage.
But they are doing well for the moment.
The midfield is the biggest problem. Working on that.

Danmark is very good team... they were also effective - allmost half of the shots they made succeeded.
Not a great match last friday.
Will try to play against U20 teams if the are so strong.
