Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
LOL. Iceland don start! With their direct football and physical fight. Poland was truly a great test.

Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
Iceland keeps their shape very rigidly. Almost robotically.

Iceland impressing me so far. they are very hardworking and organized. Their forwards are also faster than I initially thought.

Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
okay. just noticed a weakness--- Iceland's recovery when they counter is quite slow. Their midfielders look like they are crawling when returning. So, a team can hit them quickly when they are out of position. I'll keep an eye on that.

Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
Iceland's left back is going to give them problems. he tucks in too much, leaving space on their left side. I know what he is doing--when they defend, their LM is supposed to be the "stand in" left back. But so far, its not working. mexico has not taken advantage of it, but its very evident.

Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
Iceland is a typical mid level European team, they huff and puff, work all day but they’ll chop cane in the end. I don’t even see them been able to handle our high press let all be the counter.
OCCUPY NFF!!

Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
I no tok am?? That their left back tucks in too much. Look at the huge space he left for Layun to run into and score.

Re: WC OPPONENTS - MARCH FRIENDLIES
I am a little surprised they havent tried more long balls, especially into the Mexican 18 yard box. They are much taller and thats their usual game.
