Not sure if that was meant as a joke, but Iceland = ISL, Israel = ISR

Only realised it wasn't Israel when the electronic scoreboard came into view. Why would an English language broadcaster not use ICE - there's not even an S in Iceland FFS!Not sure if that was meant as a joke, but Iceland = ISL, Israel = ISR

I didn't realize FIFA had an official list. They seem to be treating their members like airports! I hope the CAA are better with the abbreviations though, eg SWZ isn't Switzerland! (I realize Suisse is probably more common amongst European languages).Presumably because of these:

In their language Iceland= Island

my daughters boyfriend is sock boys cousin , the word is that there are many very talented Irish lads in the Emerald Isle but most of them just don't have the pro attitude to fitness and diet ( mainly liquid) i hope this young fella is as good as they say he is.
The bloke who fixed my washing machine was originally from Cork, and a mate of his, who knows sock boy, says your daughter's boyfriend is shitehouse.

my daughters boyfriend won 3 A grade medals with sorrento fc before unfortunately suffering a catastrophic knee injury whilst on tour in south america , venezuela to be precise .........he's an electrician now and a lovely lad , " shitehouse" really isn't the way forward here....we have frequently talked about McGinn as he has a lot of family around Brum and the word is from him and his dad the McGinn aint really even all that ......but look at him go , you see harry , with kids , it's all about belief , faith and confidence ............Britain strangles most of its talent in the cradle.
But the question is why use their national language: Finland isn't SUO, Germany isn't DEU, Hungary is not MAG, Wales isn't CYM - why is Iceland singled out?

It’s nice that we are attracting a lot of new support from the Emerald Isle but some of them probably need to watch us a little more before making these sort of judgments:
This does cause us a major headache.
UEFA will allocate the Albion 17 or 18 tickets for the final in Dublin.
30,000 of us will have to buy secondary tickets, but there won't be any as the Irish will think it's a home game, and snap them all up.
The best match-up is, of course, when Sweden host Denmark - SWE-DEN (and the spare letters spell DENMARK).Presumably because of these:

Not really seen much of Moran. Who would you liken him to in our squad?

I'v not seen him either but based on how great our scouting is perceived to be I'd guess he's a cross between Mitoma, Caicedo, Ferguson, Ally Mac and Enciso. He's probably half decent in goal too.

These aren't the players you're looking for.

He's very skillful and loves to run at players. He's different to most in our squad, but he isn't a million miles from Phil Foden in playing style.
