Kristall Mani, the best player on the pitch (Pablo a close second), is sent off for that celebration. No words.

Danny Guthrie to @FRAMknattspyrna. I have honestly seen it all. 103 Premier League apperances. 135 in the Championship. Incredible.

Some props for Ívar Örn Árnason, having an excellent season for @KAakureyri and has been key to their top of the table push. Has made huge improvements on 2021 and is that left-footed-pivot so many teams crave 👏

Can’t make it to Wembley for the big one tonight as I’ve just welcomed my first born daughter into the world - hence why I’ve also been quiet on the Besta front 😅. No comment on where my allegiances lie… 🇮🇸.

Finalizing the last few details of the trip. Planning to hit almost every club we can on our route for a visit - hoping at least 20 is doable! Where's not to miss?

On a personal note, loved covering the Pepsi for a second year (other than watching Keflavík) and I’m now off to South America to travel for 6 months! First stop Colombia a week today, rest assured i’ll be back for a third year. 🇮🇸.

A bit of personal news, after 7 great years at @FootballRadar I’ve decided to leave and seek a new challenge!. Peep the picture below dating back to 2017. This will of course not be the end of my journey with Icelandic football - we are wedded for life 🇮🇸💍

Dagur Dan Þórhallsson (22) of @BreidablikFC heading to @OrlandoCitySC in the MLS as per very good sources. What a move for him, the Swiss Army Knife of Icelandic football. Massive move 🇺🇸.

Probably the most random thing you’ll see today: Brazilian club teams are all adopting a third kit that they’ll wear to support a nation at the World Cup. Here’s @Cruzeiro’s Icelandic effort. Bizzare

Ok, here it is, the wait is finally over! My first attempt at a Pepsi Podcast. A very primitive version to begin with, but I'll find some music and guests soon (no offence Ben). Hope you enjoy - all feedback/abuse/suggestions welcome 🎙️🇮🇸

🚨 A reminder that all Besta-deildin games will be streamed for free in HD on @OneFootball for those abroad. Big step forward for the league's exposure.

Crazy to think Valgeir Valgerisson is still only 18 considering what he's done in his career already. 61 apps for @HK_Kopavogur across 4 senior seasons, 48 of those in the Pepsi-Max. Has also had time for a 7-month-loan at @BrentfordFC. Still has a huge future ahead 📈

Daníel Hafsteinsson 🇮🇸 @KAakureyri 🔶🔷. Age: 18.Position: CMID.Pepsi apps: 8. Made his break-through last year and looks a natural in the side despite only being 18. Feel he could have a similar season to Alex Þór if he is trusted to take Almarr's place. Very efficient player.

I think we're all missing the big question this week:. Who's head suits Matt Garner's body better, Gary Martin's or Matt's? @G9bov

The 'gentlemen's agreement' between Stjarnan and Fram for Brynjar Gauti not to face his old side this season is so unprofessional, and the league shouldn't allow it. I know this is not the first case at all, but it's a good point to start the discussion @bestadeildin.

One of the weirdest decisions I've ever seen a football club make.
Birmingham City will retire the number 22 shirt following Jude Bellingham's transfer to Borussia Dortmund. 💙

I've only seen 2 of his 12 season's at @KRreykjavik but my word what a pleasure it's been watching Óskar Örn. He was one of the many reasons I couldn't stop watching the Pepsi, and he's now got 120 goals for the club and the record. What a legend. Takk Óskar!

‣ Icelandic POTY 2022.‣ 3 goals, 2 assists in his last 4 Superliga games.‣ New contract at @FCKobenhavn until 2027 📝.‣ Interest from big clubs all over Europe.‣ Comfortable in several positions. Skies the limit, Hákon Arnar Haraldsson (19) 📈

And lastly it's great to see Jón Daði Böðvarsson in the squad again boosted by his form at Bolton - 2 goals in his last 3 games. Really is a surprisingly versatile option in this system 🇮🇸 #fotboltinet #bwfc.

Fun fact: Bodø/Glimt equaled a record of 20 European games in one season before being knocked out of the UECL last week. Alfons Sampsted was the only player in the squad to play all 20 and thus set a record himself 🇮🇸 #fotboltinet.
