Iceland - Croatia

Modric and crew against the man who replaced him at Spurs.

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Iceland - Croatia

Portugal-Sweden
Ukraine-France
Greece-Romania

So no game between Portugal and France but Sweden is not exactly easier to play, but then they wanted Iceland too.
Iceland can make it.
Greece-Romania is very open but I expect a tedious match.
Evra will perhaps be spared the Ukrainian cold weather given the recent polemic and that could be a bonus for the French squad which never lost against Ukraine, yet.

PS : Evra insulted some French sport journos and managed to look sillier than them.

QuoteIceland vs. Croatia

If not the fixture with the most exciting names, that in itself makes it the most exhilarating story. Should Iceland qualify, they will become the smallest nation in history to qualify for the World Cup. Here, they have at least been fortunate to have drawn probably the weakest of the seeds. Croatia have not won in five qualifiers, lost to Scotland twice in that period and have just sacked their manager. In contrast to their chaos, Iceland are a young side in a clearly upward curve. They stormed into second in an admittedly weak group with some brave performances, led by the likes of Tottenham Hotspur's Gylfi Sigurdsson. While many of these playoffs could be gripped by tension, this has the feel of one that could be fired by a sense of opportunity.

History awaits, unless Croatia can prevent a recurrence of the recent histrionics.

Prediction: Iceland

What, no comments on Barcelona beating RM?

I wonder how many stabbings there were as a result.

It was weird. Usually they make the away team switch to white shorts but not this time for some reason.


Yesterday was an unexpected spot of happiness just when things were looking blackest. Perhaps there is hope afterall.
I was watching with a bunch of Japanese people. They agreed to support Sunderland as long as Ki stayed on the bench.  Quite humerously in the same pub there looked to be a Newcastle supporter with his presumably Japanese and non-football appreciating girlfriend. His quick departure after the game was sweet.

Sunderland will be unbeatable now that they have the support of the Holy Father  :pope:
