I don’t know about you guys, but when Iceland’s football team gets beaten by the Faroe Islands, I get a little jumpy. Seriously, when you let that header by Fródi Benjaminsen go by, I lost all faith in Icelandic sports. It’s the Faroe Islands guys. They’re so lazy, they have grass growing on the roofs of their houses.
I would have to agree with Iceland’s coach Ólafur Jóhannesson, when he said, “they lacked interest in the first half.”
So fellas, take one from the coach and stop lacking interest and get out there and play some damn football, ok? I know your economy is completely in the shitter (seriously, this country is broke), but go soak in a hot spring, listen to some Sugarcubes, gaze upon a fjord, whatever, just get it together!
I’ll expect more when you guys go up against Saudi Arabia, unless it’s an away game, then you’re toast…..literally.
For more see below. Geezus, I’m bummed.

My boys and I took a trip to the Texas State Capitol today. Good times!
There she is (waaay up top), Lady Liberty perched atop loads o’ limestone. My son claims this is probably the most important building in the world!
AHHHH! It’s him. In the immortal words of Naked Eyes, “There is always something there to remind me.”
Some guy……literally. Apparently the folks at the capitol have no clue as to the identity of this fellow, as evidenced by the plaque under his painting—
a clear indicator that this guy was a serious underachiever. “Render a decision, are you shitting me? I didn’t get where I am to save the world. I came for the interns!”
The unfortunate aftermath of Jabba the Hut’s brief stint as governor of Texas. My son stands crying tears of joy on the site where one fortunate child was rescued by Lando Calrissian and transported back to Cloud City to be released from her carbonite prison. Unfortunately, it is rumored she recently fell through the trash shoot while reenacting Luke’s heroic escape and is now working at a Krispy Kreme in the Degoba System.
