The Icelandic players when defending against Lionel Messi with the ball, they know how and where to position themselves.
Limiting Messi's shooting angle, where he runs with the ball and prises the ball away from him.
This only applies to a team with one player who is superstar status.
Iceland taking full advantage the world can't figure out what most of their players can do. Yet.

Handsome boys who try to be like Cristiano Ronaldo
3 goals by Ronaldo against Spain. A penalty, fluke by De Gea and a free-kick.
Football is not popular here like it used to. Because we have to pay extra to watch it on tv.
These handsome boys who wish they have the skills of Ronaldo are causing their own football team problems.
They dribble and lose possession. Their passes are too hard to control. Then they blame their own keeper, their teammates without realizing the amount of ball they lost.
They demand to take free-kicks. When the ball went over the bar for so many times. Even old Q-S can do a free-kick better and more beautiful with the dip.
We should play football to our strengths. Like me, I should forget about being on the left running or passing. Because my father took away my football prowess by forcing me to take medicine to cater to him. I'm just goalkeeper and stay that way.
A boy who most people say is handsome and loves football is going to make a fool of himself in the future. If he tries to play like Ronaldo. Who will like you if your teammates are football-intelligent and say you are the one to blame for giving the ball away to the opponents not once, twice but the most number of times?
I used to be handsome until jealous people curse my face through winnings in football bettings. It was a joyful ride and I can tell you, it will happen again when I reverse all these curses with my bomoh powers when I reach 40.
My advice to these Ronaldo want-to-bes? Work hard. The money/knowledge you earn is to sustain your future.

Cougars 4 BCFC 0
I was standing from the goalkeeper position. What I saw, we were very awful.
You people do not want to let me manage the team. So you went for this:
GK - Me
LB - Yee's son
CD - Kang Xiang
CD - Justin
RB - Yee
LM - David
CM - Alex
CM - Wee Zheng
CM - Kenny
RM - Nicholas
ST - Kelvin
Our beloved Justin plays most dangerous in the middle of the field. You brainiacs tell him to play central defence. Nicholas is not a winger. He is a good full-back who wins the ball.
I basically told our friends of more than 10 years this is my preferred formation:
GK - Me
LB - Nicholas
CD - Kang Xiang
CD - Jack
RB - Daniel
LW - Young Justin
CM - Justin
CM - Kenny
CM - Alex
RW - David
ST - Kelvin
What happened in the match? There was no cohesiveness. The first goal, their right-mid clipped a cross, and their striker just shoot the ball straight past. Sure, its my fault. I didn't stand 3 meters in front of the goal-line, they use their own ball to curse us, they do my face from newspaper so many years ago which I have to wash my face like OCD. Nicholas at left-back would know what to do.
The 2nd goal, Shyong Ming wasn't there. Do you people know most defender cannot play midfielder and vice versa? A very experienced Jack would know how to stop that guy when he shouted 'Mine'.
Daniel came on for Nicholas and didn't know where to play. Q-S has already blessed him with right-back. You still don't believe in Q-S?
If I was given the chance to talk in the 2nd half, this is what I would say: "Nicholas, stay at left-back, Jack stick with KX in the center. Daniel can do his Brazilian stuff on the right-back. 3 in midfield - Alex, Kenny and Justin. Boss the midfield. Young Justin on the left. David on the right. Wee Zheng, just stand in front."
But that's not the reality what happened. Oh yes Q-S cannot take the goalkick by himself. He keeps on staying on his line like guarding the gate on sports day in 1996. I tell you why. I'm scared they chip me from 30 or 40 meters!
The 3rd goal they scored, another ball over the top cross. We need 2 established full-backs to prevent crosses. Nicholas and Daniel. Don't let them cross! Q-S cannot stop that goal. I'm an inept keeper after saving around 30 shots the previous week. So this Saturday, due to the kindness of my heart, I will let Mann play keeper.
The 4th goal I had a hand to it so damn that.
We are not up to standard. Can we just play among ourselves every Saturday? I know your best positions more than you do.
Barca overturned a 4-0 deficit on PSG. Lets try with my formation and tactics.

FA Cup Final Preview: Chelsea vs Manchester United
Chelsea are going to play 3-4-3.
Goalkeeper is Thibaut Courtois. He really needs to be sharp and in focus. Though sometimes those shots he conceded are impossible to save.
Left centre-back - Gary Cahill. Antonio Rudiger on the bench. We are talking about one of the best defenders in England. Cahill should do a shut-out for the England team to see.
Centre-back - Andreas Christensen. There are major cracks shown in the armour of this Danish young player. He has to step-up against Manchester United. Still being raw, he just needs to show why he was purchased by Conte.
Right centre-back - Cesar Azpilicueta. He is not a big man but he is intelligent. His heart should conquer the giants of Manchester United.
Left wing-back - Marcos Alonso. This man is in a downward form. His play on the left is read. Surely no surprises from him just for this match? A through assist or goal from the unlikeliest position?
Centre-midfield - N'Golo Kante. This man is hated by the whole of Manchester United. His ability to snatch the ball makes him a huge threat. Watch those legs Kante. Keep healthy.
Centre-midfield - Cesc Fabregas. I would like to see him start. Though the world knows what he could do, Chelsea have any player that is close as Frank Lampard?
Right wing-back - Victor Moses. A rejuvenated man. He gives full-effort. He won't give up.
Left-wing - Eden Hazard. The stage is set for him. Chelsea needs his magic to be there. His dribbling prowess better be in showcase against the dangerous Red Devils.
Striker - Alvaro Morata. The Spaniard will be taunted by every kind of foul words by the opposing fans. Keep it in, one bullet header to goal is the reversal.
Right-wing - Willian. This Brazilian was unlucky in the match against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge. Channel that to this FA Cup Final and we may see another brilliant wonder goal from him.
If things don't go right, Pedro should come on. Oh how I wish Pedro would play at Alonso's position. He has the desire to run to and fro on the left. I don't think its a good idea to bring on any other substitutes.
Now Jose Mourinho's Manchester United.
David de Gea is the best goalkeeper in the English Premier League. How Chelsea are to pierce the ball past him? Only 2 players I think can do it. Eden Hazard and Willian. Antonio Conte must know how to beat David de Gea. Its difficult to study his goalkeeping moves.
Mourinho likes to use a 4-2-3-1 formation. Chris Smalling and Phil Jones in the centre of defence. Blame the pundits who criticize Smalling and Jones to be inadequate, weak, incapable, not colossal and all those remarks that could wound a man's pride real deep. What they think? That Smalling and Jones are still young players like 10 years ago? They are now at their peak! They take those verbal attacks and become better. F***. How Chelsea are going to handle these two men in the middle?
Ashley Young is now at left-back and Antonio Valencia the other side. They now are able to defend. Something which Chelsea's wing players are inclined to exploit.
Nemanja Matic, who knows Chelsea very well, and Marouane Fellaini in the middle of midfield are huge problems. These two men plug it in. Rarely miss a pass. Wins the ball clean and effective. But they too have to contend with N'Golo Kante biting down their heels like Pac-Man.
Jesse Lingard is a torn to any side he plays against. This man roams around in the attacking centre. He feeds the ball to the wingers and striker. Which Chelsea player can snuff him? Chelsea do have 3 at the back.
God, there is still Paul Pogba. POGBA. The most expensive player. This guy I had analyzed his play. He makes it look simple. Short passes and receiving back in the right positions. BUT. When he does an impact play, its spectacular. A raking through pass end up in an assist which is as long as 40 meters. A headed goal is using his height advantage where an average player cannot execute it due to lack of body and height. Most of his goals, Pogba knows the goalkeeper has no chance of saving it. Paul Pogba is about taking advantage of circumstances in a play that his opponents are unable to defend themselves.
The wingers are probably Marcus Rashford and Alexis Sanchez. These two can terrorize any left-backs. Chelsea has no full-backs. Wouldn't Hazard and Willian have to drop back just for this match?
Romelu Lukaku is an international hitman. Chelsea may be done for.
Not only that, look at the capabilities of United's other players:
Victor Lindelof
Marcos Rojo
Luke Shaw
Ander Herrera
Juan Mata
Anthony Martial
Though I feel the match will move on to penalties with De Gea the hero, I think Chelsea is going to up their game. 1-1. With Chelsea scoring in extra-time to lift the FA Cup trophy with a 2-1 scoreline.

I accidentally injured Daniel so bad he had to leave the pitch. He was about to score, I blocked him as goalkeeper and he fell in agony. I am so sorry. I feel really bad about it.
In the 1st half, Kang Xiang placed The Blacks in the lead 1-0. Daniel equalized 1-1. It was a good 1st half. Both teams played nice football.
In the 2nd half, a flurry of goals. Daniel extended The Yellows lead to 2-1. Then Leong made it 3-1. young Justin with a header 4-1. I thought we are done for. The incident where Daniel injured happened. David then narrowed The Blacks to 4-2.
2 more goals for The Blacks and its 4-4. This is the sequence that followed:
Blacks 5 Yellows 4
Blacks 5 Yellows 5
Blacks 6 Yellows 5
Blacks 6 Yellows 6
Blacks 7 Yellows 6
Blacks 8 Yellows 6
Q-S saved more than 10 shots again. Kang Xiang was defending and attacking as usual. Nicholas the complete central midfielder. Wee Zheng did well on this day. Yee's son debut was a good one at right-back, I'd like him to play with us more. David another bag of goals today.
Now Daniel's son with the black Arsenal jersey was exceptional. Just a primary school kid and scored 2 goals. I'm impressed.
Mann for The Yellows, again saves after saves. Jack, is an experienced man with technical football. Kenny really knows how to play football. Yee is linking up very well with the rest of his teammates like he always does. Leong scored 2 goals, his son shows dangerous instinct in front of goal. Kelvin is happy to play, almost scored. young Justin likes to attack and scored 2 too. Daniel was doing really well before his injury.
The absence of the Justin who provided us transport with the van is really felt by the Yellows.
MAN OF THE MATCH: SHYONG MING. WHEN I SEE HIM CHASE BACK FOR THE BALL AFTER LOSING POSSESSION, THIS MAN GIVES FULL EFFORT WHEN PLAYING FOOTBALL FOR US.

The 3rd match is the continuation of the first match which the Yellows won again this time 7-1.
I've come to the reality that the Blacks cannot play without Alex and Kang Xiang. Look at the Yellows. Kenny is technically gifted. Yee knows the real basics. Justin is an all-round footballer. Leong is a shooter of the ball. Their new addition Mann is such an excellent goalkeeper.
And you people tag me every Saturday just because I appeared on newspaper several years ago...there's another major change in our friendships. My personal blog will be shut out. BUT. This blog will receive my views on football like The New Paper style. So look out for it here.

The Blacks were awful. The Yellows were effective as a unit. Kenny with all those passes. Vietnam guy playing like a pro. China guy defending cool and wonderful. Jack using his footballing brains. Wan, nicking the ball from all of us. Mann, who is not only a goalkeeper but also knows how to play outfield. Justin, who makes a whole world of difference when he plays against The Blacks.
The Blacks are one man out but that shouldn't be an excuse, right? We were down by 7-0 and I was allowed to play outfield. I suggest this. We start as me being goalkeeper always. But when we are losing terrible, I should play outfield. Me on the left opens up play. The opponents think I will be stopped easily, you all have space when I pass the ball.
David had a few shots that should've went in. Kang Xiang scored 2. Wee Zheng almost scored. Nicholas played well. Shyong Ming did fine.
MAN OF THE MATCH: JUSTIN. HE IS AN ALL-ROUND FOOTBALLER. WITH HIM PLAYING FOR THE YELLOWS, THE BLACKS ARE IN FOR MISERY.
