Iceland is facing France in a European Championship quarterfinal on Sunday. Here are five Iceland players to watch:HANNES HALLDORSSONFor much of Halldorssons career, goalkeeping was his side job, while his main income came from directing movies and music videos in Iceland. At Euro 2016 he has a starring role in the tournaments best feelgd story. Now a full-time pro, Halldorsson has been a reliable shot-stopper so far in the tournament, though he did concede a penalty against England when he brought down Raheem Sterling. If the ultimate underdogs can somehow go all the way in Euro 2016, Halldorsson could be a key character in the inevitable Hollywd dramatization.---RAGNAR SIGURDSSONMan of the match against England with a goal and a desperate last-ditch tackle to stop an equalizer, center-back Sigurdsson has seen his stock soar at Euro 2016. Tough in defense, he was more than able to answer England with some English-style physical play of his own. After the game, Sigurdsson was scathing about how England underestimated the Icelanders, saying they thought it would be a walk in the park. Currently at Russian club FC Krasnodar, Icelands co-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson predicts clubs across Europe will be rushing to buy Sigurdsson after the tournament.---ARON GUNNARSSONWhile he may play in the English second tier with Cardiff City, the bearded, Viking-like Gunnarsson had the better of Englands Premier League stars in midfield. A tough-tackling, robust presence, he also launches effective long throws which led to goals against Austria and England. The second most-capped player in the squad, Gunnarsson has electrified the Icelandic supporters. After the final whistle against England, he led the players and fans in a slow clap and chanting ritual with echoes of New Zealands rugby haka.---GYLFI SIGURDSSONNot to be confused with defensive hero Ragnar, Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson reads the game well and plays a key role in Icelands lightning-fast transitions from defense to attack. He was also Icelands top scorer in qualifying with six goals, three of them scored against the Netherlands in upset wins. Sigurdsson takes Icelands penalties and scored his only goal of Euro 2016 from the spot against Hungary in the group stage. By far the best known player in the team which started against England, his time at Swansea and Tottenham Hotspur gave him valuable knowledge of the opposition.---KOLBEINN SIGTHORSSONScorer of the winning goal against England, with a little help from goalkeeper Joe Harts slow reactions, Nantes striker Sigthorsson is capable of causing more upsets against top international teams in the years to come. He has scored 21 goals for his country, putting him five shy of the record at the age of just 26. That record is held by the 37-year-old former Champions League winner Eidur Gudjohnsen, who is still in the squad but is more of a leader in the dressing rm than on the field, having made just one brief substitute appearance at Euro 2016.Custom Texas Rangers Nike Jerseys .S. hockey team after paying his dues as an NHL general manager for more than three decades and giving up a lot of his free time to help USA Hockey.

I thought Riverside came out and played hard and put us under a lot of pressure and we didnt respond well to it. The fact that they (UCR) only got one goal - as coaching staff we actually felt pretty gd that we survived with that. At halftime there was no yelling, no screaming, no turning over furniture. It was just an understanding that there are certain things we control and the fight that we put in is one of those things. If youre going to play a scrappy team, youre going to have to play scrappy. I thought our team came out and immediately jumped on them and created some chances. I think a sign of a great team is that when you score, you quickly score again. You put the game away while youve got that team down on the mat.On Haley Pounds...She bleeds marn more than anyone youll ever come across, not just because she is a legacy kid from generations and generations of Aggies. She put it on the line. She was not going to let this University take a loss. Her heart and her abilities were on display for everyone to see.Junior forward Haley PoundsOn her goal...Jordan (Hill) played an excellent ball, in behind, with her head. I was able to get it in and take a shot to the far post. So props to Jordan for being able to get her head on that to set up the goal.On the comeback win...We were told at halftime to come out and play our game. I dont think we did we did that in the first half. So to get that goal early really bsted our confidence. I think we all knew we had to score again to get that win.Freshman midfielder Grace PiperOn her goal...In the second half, we knew we had to put the pressure on, lking for that early goal. Our forwards did a great job of earning us corner after corner. Haley put in a great ball and I had a mismatch with a smaller girl on me. I was able to out-jump her and get a head on the ball. ' ' '
