If Sunday League did Iceland v Croatia

Croatia fake shirt for Iceland game

If Iceland v Croatia was a Sunday League clash!

With Croatia already qualified for the knockout stages and likely to make changes, Iceland might fancy their changes of still progressing from Group D.

Croatia will look to rest players and with Iceland having already beaten Croatia in qualifying for the World Cup, they will go into the game full of confidence.

SPORTSvox has taken a slightly different look at this game however, to see how it would play out on a cold Sunday morning across the UK.

I am slightly concerned with the lack of creativity in the Iceland side and with Takehislegsson and Canthitabarndoorson on the bench I think goals will be hard to come by from this team.

 

Croatia team to face Iceland

I really like the look of this Croatia side, there is flair all of the pitch. So good they named him twice, Alldayalldayic will be a constant threat and with Freekickspecialic in your side, you always have a chance.

They have great strength In depth as well with Spongemanic and Supersubic just waiting to spring off the bench at any time.

Whatever happens from here, the smallest nation at this World Cup has done itself proud. The team has performed admirably and their fans have been fantastic. How many other nations can claim that their World Cup games have been watched by 98% of their population?

Even if Croatia make wholesale changes as touted, Iceland still need to score at least two goals to qualify. This will mean a complete shift in their overall approach, I am just not sure her they have enough in them to make it through.

If SPORTSvox did World Cups however Iceland and their Viking army would certainly move on into the knockout stages of the World Cup.

Prediction: Iceland 1-0 Croatia

Good luck with your selections
