I think we actually did some comedy that was genuinely original, and we did strange things that caught people's attention ... In addition to that, we created characters that were some kind of comic archetypes - people seemed to recognize them, whether they were from Japan or Iceland.
This is shown not only by the membership applications from Montenegro, Albania and Iceland, but also negotiations with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
We need to go back to the drawing board. The performances against Norway and Iceland are best forgotten.
Iceland are an average side and I would be very, very worried if we could not get a result against them
They (the assessors) may say they have seen everything they needed to see (after watching the game against Iceland) and these two matches against Japan and Jamaica next month will not change anything. So let us wait and see what the assessors are going to say.
As this report shows, we are behind the curve on this issue. In countries as diverse as China, Japan through to Finland, Iceland and Italy, some form of charge is the norm. With our plans, we hope this will soon be the norm here in Wales.
performances against Norway and Iceland were best forgotten
Safa will be meeting with the coach (Santana) to discuss the team's poor performances ... We will be discussing my report as head of delegation and those of the three assessors on the Iceland match, after which Safa will release a statement early next week on how we will move forward and get Bafana winn...
Four countries including Namibia, Faroe Islands, Uganda and Iceland, were ready to play in Tehran, but Iceland was selected based on National team coach's opinion
We have reached an agreement with Iceland federation for a friendly match on November 10 in Tehran

Bafana threw everything forward near the end but the defence of Iceland, a country that would fit into Soweto and with just 350 000 people, held firm.
In the past couple of weeks ... some of the inquiries we’ve received have come from as far afield as Iceland, South Africa, Ireland, India, Japan and South Korea. At the same time, our global customers continue their ‘single solution’ rollouts across Europe, Asia and the Americas.
now flying over Reykjavik, Iceland.
We have to train and I look forward to friendlies against Iceland, Japan and Jamaica. There are still several months of preparations before the World Cup. I am confident this team will perform; I am optimistic. In my head I know 16 or 17 players that I want in my squad for the 2010 World Cup. However, I...

Public spending on health per capita (measured in purchasing power parity in dollars in 2006) in the top 10 countries listed in the index (Norway, Australia, Iceland, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, France, Switzerland, and Japan) ranged from $3,780 in Norway to $2,067 in Japan
It is going to be a very tough match and we do not expect otherwise. Some of us have never played in the cold conditions that are expected in Norway and Iceland.
We had hoped for a constructive approach with the IMF, but the reality is that Britain and the Netherlands, our Nato allies and friends, have used their position on the IMF to obstruct IMF staff professionals with the Iceland programme
Ideally we should have watched the matches live. But as we only met Safa (Hack) today (Thursday) it was too late to get visas to travel to Norway and Iceland so we will watch the game on television and report from there.
It’s official … Steve Pienaar is not going to be with us for the games against Norway and Iceland, so Franklin Cale automatically take his position in the squad
It's sad that Iceland's economy has collapsed and as a Murphy, I hate to see the mess that Ireland has got itself into
