Next we meet Norway with U24 players. So update your players, please!

Just checking if anyone read these! :=)

shit :-p

4-0 defeat against Norge. 13-4 shots for opponent.

It's hard to win game when avg.marks are over 10 lower, because against better team you must use defensive tactic where players help each other (compact formation).

...and if you try to attack harder then results will be 10-1 or something. Draw or win could have been possible with Hjaltson's 100% performance and if breaktroughs succeeded.

good result :)

Against New Zealand we both use five U25 players. Rest of the players can be over that age.

Ísland - New Zealand

I had little difficult to get five U25 players into starting lineup. I was thinking that I put Þorbergsson between posts, but because Hjaltson's skills are so high level I decided to use him instead.

We will use 3 subs... my main worrie is that our midfield looks little bit weak, because of age and low forms.

1. Magnús Hjaltson U25
2. Gunnleifur Haraldsson
3. Snorri Bergmannsson
4. Gústaf Sæmundsson
5. Steingrímur Frostason
6. Máni Hjörvarsson U25
7. Elmar Sigmundsson U25
8. Björn Friðbjörnsson
9. Stefán Alexandersson U25
10. Sigurður Helgi Traustason
11. Henrik Eysteinnsson U25

12. Knútur Þorbergsson
13. Jóhannes Jökulsson
14. Unnsteinn Elísson
15. Markús Númason
16. Sigurvin Yngvarsson


45' Unnsteinn Elísson replaces 7
45' Markús Númason replaces 9
68' Sigurvin Yngvarsson replaces 11

We won 5-0 and tactic worked perfectly (first half was amazing).

Hjaltson took few bad breakthrougs and was key player with Eysteinsson and Traustason.

New Zealand had 12 spots higher ranking.

grt :)
