Yee it is very interesting, and something ive thought about as ive witnessed more and more quality football players come out of Iceland. Has to be something to do with their character i guess? I mean they seem to generally have tht steely, focussed and very disciplined attitude and character. Take professional footballers for instance like you mentioned, its hard to think of even one Iceland player tht is known for being lazy, or arrogant, or outspoken and difficult to work with. And as far as im aware its not like they poured millions of euros in to creating top class facilities for young footballers. I think its fair to say now tht their National Team is as good as if not better than likes of Finland and Norway which is quite insane considering those two countries have 5+ million population!
