  1. Iceland is in the bottom 10? I always thought they had a fairly decent national team. Aron Gunnarson can throw it further than Rory Delap.

  2. I was also kind of surprised that Iceland (and Wales) have fallen so far down the UEFA rankings. With the players they have available you'd think they'd be doing quite a bit better.
