The problem will be that both Seferi and Cikaleshi play similar games and will occupy the same roles. Will we get enough service to give these below average poachers the chances they need? Probably not. Will they be able to create on their own and help with build up? Probably not.

This is pretty much another version of the Cika and Balaj pairing. Expect the same kind of rugby play that we’ve been seeing the past 3 years. Iceland will be prepared for this and will be able to hold them off with their superb bunkering.

The only exception is that Balliu is a big upgrade over Trashi and can actually provide something from the flanks.

2-2 Israel D
5-0 Spain L
1-1 Finland D
5-1 South Korea L (wtf)
1-1 Uganda D
3-1 Macedonia L
0-0 Romania D

7 games. 0W 4D 3L. 17 goals conceded. Only high ranking opponent is Spain.

I mean what the f*** guys. This team sucks. And Georgia is clearly better than them in the current moment but read this forum and you would think Georgia were amateurs and Iceland were still in 2016.

Our team, which literally never scores more than a goal against any professional opposition, scored 4 on them. But no wonder. Even South Korea scored 5 goals on them and we think they are some kind of defensive masters.

Georgia was clearly better than them.

what I've been saying, they are now back to being crap after a golden generation. They've only beaten 2 small "nations" in the last year.

If we don't win its a disgrace

Watch out for the old man.

Disregard my previous post. I didn’t realize Iceland was this bad on paper. Albania should realistically win by a goal or two no matter the forwards they put out.

We got really fucking lucky with this group. Better not squander it.

He already blew our chances to make WC playoffs by fielding Trashi in place of Balliu and leaving Broja on the bench against Poland. This is his last chance!
