RUMOUR:
#FIFA
are thinking of cancelling the whole tournament and awarding the
#WorldCup
straight to Iceland, for fear of the Norse gods riding forth on waves of deadly fire & incinerating all who stand before them. And that’s just the group stages.

Off comes captain Aron after heroically weathering the

siege. On comes Ari Skúason, the maimer, the magician, rumoured to be a cannibal, wearing necklace of ears. We checked: nothing in the rules of football about wearing a necklace of ears.

Hannes "Wild Claws" Halldórsso: the half-man-half-giant legend. What a goalkeeper. As indomitable at the bleak, snowy heights of Vatnajökull. As rugged as the

#Messi
cannot sleep. Just when his eyes close, he jumps awake. Was there a sound echoing around the halls of the hotel?
He tosses & turns, tries to get comfortable; tries to relax. But there it is again! He leaps to his feet & looks around.
What *is* that sound?
