I was rooting for the motherland! Some of the interesting post-game comments by analysts: "A small country of giants." "Fewer registered soccer players than the US State of Rhode Island." "One of the greatest upsets in the history of sports on this planet." "Biggest upset in football history." GO ICELAND beat France! [For those who don't know, my mother was Icelandic and my father had a mixed European background with a lot of English in the mix.] ====================================================== Perhaps, Ryan, could post an Icelandic flag for me in this thread! :-) Last Edited: 6/28/2016 12:21:48 AM by OhioCatFan The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

PARTY AT NAPOLI'S Please learn the diff between football and futbol. Lebron and the Cavs win is so last week's news. ;) Football - a game played with the feet. Seems accurate to me.

Iceland is ranked 34th in the world...3 spots behind the USA. They're not a name brand, but they're not a bad team by any means. GO BOBCATS!

I admittedly know little about soccer but I wondered if it was really as surprising as it was being made out to be. I knew Iceland tied Portugal, which was a pretty big deal.

There just isn't anything you can compare it to. It'd almost be like a D-2 school coming up to D-1 then winning the national championship that year. Crazy. But Iceland's win IS a massive, massive upset IMO. They are a solid team, but that isn't a game anyone would think they win. Overall, soccer is a sport where I think upsets are much more likely than a sport like football. Kinda like Hockey, I think a undermatched team in soccer can play a style tactically that allows them to be competitive against teams that are much, much better than them. In football, if you massively outmatched physically, tactics can't really keep you in it. I've seen crazier things happen.

For as frustrated as I am at times by US Soccer, our men's national team has the key piece to potentially be competitive against better teams... That piece is an elite goalie. PACK THE BOX!

As a big "football" fan, I'm not sure I'm sold on Mr. Guzan nearly as much as I've been sold on past, truly elite goal keepers. Names like Friedel, Keller, and Howard have started for top teams in Europe. But, I do hope I'm proven wrong, because an elite keeper is a definite advantage. Elite keepers made the difference for Chile, and Iceland both this week.
