    Easiest goal ever for Johnson. If a worm had stuck his head up he could have nodded that in.

    To be fair, we've fluffed a few passes, got caught playing out from the back and might have been punished once or twice.

    BUT

    We've played some nice stuff. Patient, working off the ball, nice little triangles and passes round the corner.
    I'm liking the way Craig has them playing.

    Great passes by Williams and skill by Wilson for both goals.

    This game isn't going to finish 11 v 11.
    Iceland rattled and struggling to cope with some of the pace and movement.
    A few fines needed for a couple Welsh players for picking up dumb ass yellows.

    Ref might be painting himself in to a corner come 2nd half.

    The better side by a mile.
    Some of those Iceland players are very angry young men.
    Got to keep our heads and carry on the way we are. Moore not offering too much up front but every time he gets the ball he draws the foul.
    Bellers clearly knows what he's doing.

    Plenty Welsh Flags, crosses of St David, Welsh shirts and bucket hats in the stadium.
    Fair play.

    I wonder if their views of the northern lights were any better than the ones they'd have seen at home.

    The way the ref is starting to throw yellow cards around this could end up 9v9!!!

    Game starting to get a bit scrappy and Iceland really starting to create a few chances now. Could easily have been level...

    May need to think about freshening it up out there...

    Yes, generally gone to sleep with sloppy defending. To quote Masky, they need to pull their pants up.

    Another avoidable yellow for Jordan James.

    Playing out from the back is honourable and Wales does it well, on the whole.
    Every now and then they need to recognise discretion is the better part of valour and just hoof it up field. Certainly when Moore is back there defending.

    Totally gone to pieces here. Bellaz is going to explode if we lose this!!

    Every touch is heavy, no control at all.

    Credit to Iceland for getting stuck in but we appear to have just stopped doing all the good stuff we were doing previously.

    Big test of character now.

    Very poor second half. Everything they did well first half now gone to hell.

    Could easily lose this.
