Discussion: The Iceland team

It appears they are more direct in their chosen qualification route than our team.

Maybe we should learn to clap?

In Canberra they already can - Raiders supporters have adopted the Icelandic clap.

Switzerland are also taking the scenic route to the World Cup after losing in Portugal last night (a draw would have been enough to take them straight through).

Shows how tough it can be to qualify in Europe though when Switzerland had won all other 9 games in the group including v Portugal and they still didn’t progress automatically. Holland are gone too!

The only thing that will stop Germany will by special Russian tactics a la Sochi.

Switzerland and Portugal both won every game except for those against each other, although that probably says something about the other teams in the group - Hungary, Latvia, Faroe Islands and Andorra.
