Subject: NT Season 21: World cup qualifications
WCQ: Nigeria - Ísland
Group K league table.
Nigeria didn't play friendly last week, but I think they will play with their normal tactic.
Haraldsson and Traustason are currently transfer listed and soon changing their home address.
Numason and Edvinsson have little bit low form in midfield. Also defs Saemundson and Sveinbjörnsson are still lacking with form.
This should be our match, but let's see what happens!

Group K league table.
Easier match than our last meeting. Now our high balls worked and Yngvarsson was in flames (6 goals).
Goalie Bjartmannsson took couple dangerous shots safely and especially our wing backs (Dybdal & Bjartsson) played very good game.
:( Sorry about injuries - those just happens and it looks like Ísland has very bad luck with them.
Next Belgium.

WCQ: Ísland - België
Group K
I think Carna should use their second lineup now? ;=)
Our wingers are back and healthy, but we had couple big losses against Nigeria and that's why our two central midfielders are injured (Edvinsson and Numason).
Against tough Belgium I would like to see also Saemundsson and Sveinbjörnsson in top form, but their form are still in bad shape.
We are 5 points behind Belgium. Groups two best teams goes to World cup finals. So we need to win this one. Everything is possible - last match against Belgium our team looked very good at least 60 minutes. Now we need full 90 minutes with superb performance!!!
All the "pressure" is on Carna's side!
Lineup and tactic are secret - some spies are here again!

I am confused how sokker gods were against us so strongly today. :[
All plans and hope went through the toilet after those red cards. You just can't take those against opponent like Belgium. But what can you do...

I think it would have been a close and tough game for us if you didn't get those red cards. However, I think we would've won anyway, but I understand your disappointment. Try to snitch away some points against Colombia. ;)
Yes, I know that Belgium just might :] won that game without our red cards, but still those cards ruined the game. Painfull to watch when you have only 7 players on the field. :\
I guess it wasn't the best idea to play with 7 defenders ;-)
There was 6 defs and wingbacks played MID orders.
Best idea? Well I didn't get full picture how my tactic would work, because of red cards. I don't see that my tactic was causing these red cards - do you think so?

Sry, indeed, 6 defenders ;-) and the mid-order didn't really made much difference because you(re wingbacks kept on playing defensively...
I think it would have been useful to have one man down in defense and one more in the midfield. The red cards are mostly a consequence of the fact that Belgium ruled on the midfield. So I would've placed one of the wingbacks (or some other player off course) as an extra defmid. In this way you would have had some more control over the game than you did now.
By the way, why haven't you used red card-orders?
(and off course there was a lot of bad luck for you, although I think Belgium would've won anyway)

Well somehow I must try to make "difference" against much stronger opponent. Needed almost a miracle here.
MID orders for wing defs that have good playmaking and passing skills isn't in my opinion bad idea. They had room to hold the ball and feed our dangerous striker Yngvarsson with long high balls behind opponents defensive line. With DEF orders those balls are usually secured over touchline. They played defensively because I didn't want to leave holes in defense line.
Places 2, 4, 6 and 5 were secured with red card orders, but I didn't want to drop any mid players. But this don't even mather, because we would need full 11 players... :0

It will be very tough match against Colombia. We have many important player missing, because of last match three red cards and injuries. In midfield it's very difficult situation and also in our defensive line.
Short story this time - this week is very busy for me.

Result: Colombia - Ísland 7:1
Because of low form and players been unavailable (red card or injury) we couldn't challenge Colombia this time. Too strong opponent.
Especially our defenders were lacking pace. I had to bring Palmason and Vignirsson in (hadn't played a while in NT), but they were in big trouble. Palmason could only watch when opponents striker Bello were running through our defensive line...
Our wingbacks played good game and also Valdimarsson was a big surprise for me. In midfield we don't have good ball stealers when Edvinsson is gone.
Next we meet Eesti in friendly match. It might be U25 or U26 match - we'll see!

We meet Eesti with U26 team. So update your players!
I think those players who are part of Íslands first team ain't playing because of injury risk.
But send me info if you have first team player (U26) and you wan't him to play.
