So I know most of you are only thinking about friendlies this international break but my national team Iceland is actually being forced to play Euro playoffs against Israel in a few days. Israel is the “home” nation for the match but Iceland refused to go there so Hungary will host on behalf of Israel. Unfortunately the Icelandic team has kind of sucked recently, but I really hope they have a rare moment of brilliance on Thursday, Israel has absolutely no business going to the Euros this summer!!

Iceland’s manager enraged Israeli media and sports personalities with this:

“UEFA takes care of all the rules in this and we are part of UEFA. If we don’t play we will be banned and risk further punishment by not playing another member nation. But if you ask me personally, I would hesitate to play Israel, as it stands now. Because of what is going on in Gaza, and because of what they have done to women, children and other innocent citizens. It shouldn’t be done, and we shouldn’t be playing this game if you ask me. But we have to play because the consequences would be so great for Iceland if we didn’t.”

I thank him for not staying silent and wish him and his team the best of luck on Thursday 🙏

english punditry is so lazy and full of bad takes it makes me hate this country even more

#their narratives about trent when we haven’t even played a flipping game yet have been absurd #walker and trippier who’ve made plenty more mistakes this season are perfect players tho!!!#even tho walker was no where to be seen for the iceland goal last week #and then england looked so awful until trent came on the pitch. but ok #this is why this country will never be successful. u have former players ripping into the team and highlighting their weaknesses #before they every kick a ball? yet there’s no questioning the manager and his tactics no let’s just scapegoat the one player #who can create from anywhere on the pitch and who completed club football as a RB in his #early 20s #i could go on bc this is so fucking stupid like even the ITV interview they said with him last season where they were basically being like #‘do you think you can defend bc we all basically see u as a massive weakness lol’ and he just had to sit there!!!#no other player got that treatment ie rashford or trippier or reece james or anyone else it’s just trent they focus on #this country will never prosper and i will laugh bc if they can’t fit a player into a box of what they think they should do #they automatically shun them and say there’s no place for them. and then wonder why we’re so unsuccessful #anyways. defending trent isn’t enough i need a gun #england nt

GIRL CONGRATS 🫡🇮🇸

Thank you!! I don’t usually like this lot very much but today I’m very proud of them 🙏 they had never won a game against Israel before and they had a horrendous Euro qualifiers campaign so I really didn’t expect them to pull this off!! But Israel flopped so hard tonight, their only goal was a penalty, they missed another penalty and a player got a straight red card.

Nobody was feeling comfortable about playing Israel, the commentators kept mentioning their discomfort because how much tension was in the air and they were trying to be diplomatic but one of them implied heavily that he sensed a lot of hostility. Iceland has for a long time been a generally pro-Palestine nation and Israel is very aware of that fact, there is no love lost between us.

So, I’m really happy about the win! Not only for my country that now still has a chance of a Euro spot, but mostly because Israel being at the Euros this summer while they actively commit war crimes would’ve been so wrong in so many ways.
