Subject: Mini World cup

Quite nice 0-2 win against better ranked New Zealand.

Hjörvarsson scored and took red card. Yngvarsson scored our second goal.

Well done!!!! Why did you put a lot of players on the right side of the pitch?
(edited)

Thanks. I put right side our attacking players, because opponent left wings open.

Ok, why didn't I use both sides? I wanted to pressure one side and tried to keep team defensively balanced. If I put two wingers (both side) and striker in the middle - then in midfield we would be in trouble with two midfielders.

Next match against Makedonija is U26 match (plus one U27 player).

GO GO GO GO !!!!!

Sverige - Ísland 1:0

Tough fight against Sverige - I think we had more good chances than opponent, but their goalie played fantastic game.

Every player played how I expected (ok, maybe we should score couple goals) and this was good practice for coming WC qualifying season.
