Nice catch. For those who do not know, Icelandic names are patronymic (or in a few cases matronymic), reflecting directly the name of a parent. Exceptions to this, ie people having "normal" western family names are rare, and usually reflect a family of foreign heritage. Guðjohnsen is one such exception.

Very happy to see my Nordic brothers get their first goal and point in top level international competition.

Áfram Ísland!

Bjork going to f**k Ronaldo up

ICELANDIC singer Bjork is flying to France to kick Cristiano Ronaldo’s arse, police have confirmed.

The singer, famous for her precision takedown of a journalist at Bangkok Airport in 1996, has promised to “fark up Ronaldo like Iceland’s volcanic emissions fark up flights” for his disparaging remarks about her home country.


Bjork said: “I’ll show him a small mentality. By the time I’m finished with that preening bitch you’ll be able to fit what’s left in a puffin.

“Using all my best moves, from slamming his head against a concrete floor to a full performance of challenging electronica about my divorce.

“Gonna do to you what our left-wing socialist government does to bankers. Yeah you better run.”

Ronaldo said: “I offer a full and frank apology for my intemperate and erroneous comments.

“I now accept that Iceland were the better team, that I am nothing but a spoilt, gelled child, and that Portugal has never produced a successful international music act.

“We are good for nothing but cork.”

Great goal by Slovakia... Russian defence awful.
