Mexico-Iceland Soccer Wednesday At BOA

[JakeFlake]

Anyone going? I will be working it.

[Miaoww]

How random is that?

[pstall]

If Mex was playing Sweden I would go. Iceland. Please

[Delhommey]

So what will they use for confetti, pesos or krona?

[Bobby]

Apperently it's almost sold out. I think I know the only Iceland fan who will be there!

[Hawk]

I'm thinking Mexico could send it's U-18 team up and still beat Iceland pretty bad.

Should be a good time though...getting closer and closer to World Cup time...can't wait

[Bobby]

Iceland is going to get destroyed, they don't have access to their best players.

[Murph]

I wonder who is odds on favorite to get eliminated first:

Iceland because the team files for bankruptcy or Mexico because the team gets wiped out in a drug cartel hit.

[Hawk]

I'll stick with Iceland out first....even dead Mexicans could play better

[Bobby]

Haha, Iceland has two players from the Dutch league in their squad (Guðmundsson and Sigþórsson, both AZ). The rest come from the domestic championship. Which is awful.

Mexico has more or less their normal team without the European based players.

[Miaoww]

Eidur Gudjohnsen not playing for Iceland anymore?

[Bobby]

Not a FIFA date, no way Spurs would release him for it. Same reason Hermann Hreidarsson won't be there.

I hope they get a big crowd at this one after we were bumped off the potential host cities list by cities that don't get great turn outs.

[Miaoww]

Oh right, so it's just a team that happens to be Icelandic, not the Iceland team. I wondered why they were playing in Charlotte.

[Bobby]

Pepsi-deildin All-Stars, basically.

SUM (a company formed by MLS to promote international matches) bought a bunch of "home" dates from Mexico and put them in US cities.
