    FT: ARGENTINA 1 - 1 ICELAND. Match thread

    Gunnarsson starts. He is our only contracted player (until the end of the month at least when his deal ends), facing Messi, Di Maria, Aguero etc

    Iceland have a chance of nicking another one here. Gylfi is a clever player. Far too good for his old club.
    Gunnar doing feck all part from making a nuisance of himself. Nothing new there.

    It's a bit like watching City against Fulham last season.

    Iceland and City have a lot in common - under 30% possession, defensively strong, playing on the break, come to life in the final third, and often have the best chances.

    I like Iceland!

    59% pass completion. 70 passes v 333. Created the better chances.

    Great side to watch!

    Most of the Iceland team are Warnock 'type' players.

    Wonder if Gunnar will sign a new contract and encourage some of his team-mates to join him (if Cardiff make an offer).

    Particularly like the long haired Bjarnason - wonder if Villa will let him go?

    Some good footballers too.
    I do like seeing the opposition shite themselves at Gunnars throw. England couldn't hack it 2 years ago.

    Iceland have a line of 5 across back then 3 then 2 , crowding out all the space centrally

    Messi penalty saved

    I thought that Gunnarsson played very well. Hopefully Iceland won’t miss him in these final ten minutes.

    He did his job as always - very disciplined and a great captain. Passing a bit hit and miss, but everything else very good.

    When the referee took him out off the ball (was it his bad ankle the ref trod on?) I could hear Hartley adding that incident to his 'Premier League Conspiracy Against Cardiff' rant. The evidence is building up.....

    For his long throws alone we need to keep Gunnar

    Have we ever scored from a Gunnarsson throw?

    Messi failed to score a hat-trick against a country with a population of only 348,580?

    The same way Ronaldo did at the Euros?

    Confused? When Iceland play that way , they get praised! When City play that way, we get slaughtered?

    I'm fairly sure he's a 12 year old boy with the way he gushes over Ronaldo

    If I'm honest I'm frustrated cos Messi was absolute shit today and looked like carrying the pressure of a nation got to him.

    I also hate the way Iceland play yet the truth is that if the premier league was the world cup Cardiff City would be Iceland!

    Just said the same to Norms. Looks like the weight of responsibility is getting too much for him.

    It's not as though Messi hasn't got good players around him. If anybody is carrying his team it's Ronaldo, but he thrives on that sort of thing.
