Sigthórsson sounds in german like Siegtorson.
Siegtor=game winning goal
so Sigthórsson is the game winning goal's son.
That's an interested coincidence! Although Sigþór in Icelandic doesn't really sound like Siegtor:
The "s" is pronounced like s, not like z.
The "g" is pronounced in a way we don't really have in English or German. Basically a voiced version of German "ch". Because it comes at the end of a syllable in this Icelandic name, it would almost sound silent.
The "th" is actually the Icelandic letter "þ", which is pronounced like "th" in English "thanks".

Funny that Hodgson would have a prepared statement ready to release as soon as they lost to Iceland.

God help usI bet Pardew will get the job. Maybe Redknapp.
Even worse, Gareth Southgate is favorite for the job

Putting England on par with Canada isn't really fair to Canada......our teams actually win on occasion.
haha now now, they won Toulon this year.
Gareth Southgate heh.
just glad Stones and Barkley aren't associated with this garbage team.

I would like to credit Iceland for not playing a cynical match, for not playing for a draw, but going for it and having the gusto to do that throughout. The Iceland counters were at times breathtaking and finishing two of them admirably.
This is not an unheralded team advancing on a 0-0 shootout win. This is scoring 2 goals from play in a knockout stage.
This is coming from behind a goal down (on a penalty) to do that.

Based on what we've seen so far, there is no reason for Jack Wilshere to ever be selected for NT duty again...

England needs a foreign coach.
What's Sven Goran-Eriksson up to?

Coaching is not comparable really. DD has a winning pedigree, as much as he frustrates me.
Defense is totally comparable and I could see us surrendering the same goals as England today.
Lack of imagination is also a big forte for both teams so far in the tournament.
I expect a rough game indeed. And Iceland could very well surprise. But please don't compare Roy and DD.
Difference on defense is that you have Lloris instead of Hart. I'm not too worried for France against Iceland
He didn't even play all year and he was selected! It was asinine from the beginning.
England was screwed before they kicked a ball.

England's made it pretty clear they want an English manager for their NT for better or for worse.
