Welcome.
#####
Saint-Étienne, France
Stade Geoffroy-Guichard…
Well, Portugal, with CR7, and stronger, they both dreamed for many things…
And two girls went out…
As the same phrase, all teams began their battle.
Anthems!
ICELAND
Ó, guð vors lands! Ó, lands vors guð!
Vér lofum þitt heilaga, heilaga nafn!
Úr sólkerfum himnanna hnýta þér krans
þínir herskarar, tímanna safn.
Fyrir þér er einn dagur sem þúsund ár,
og þúsund ár dagur, ei meir;
eitt eilífðar smáblóm með titrandi tár,
sem tilbiður guð sinn og deyr.
Íslands þúsund ár,
Íslands þúsund ár!
eitt eilífðar smáblóm með titrandi tár,
sem tilbiður guð sinn og deyr.
(Oh, God of our country! Oh, our country's God!
We worship Thy name in its wonder sublime.
The suns of the heavens are set in Thy crown
By Thy legions, the ages of time!
With Thee is each day as a thousand years,
Each thousand of years, but a day,
Eternity's flow'r, with its homage of tears,
That reverently passes away.
Iceland's thousand years,
Iceland's thousand years!
Eternity's flow'r, with its homage of tears,
That reverently passes away.)
PORTUGAL
Heróis do mar, nobre povo,
Nação valente, imortal,
Levantai hoje de novo
O esplendor de Portugal!
Entre as brumas da memória,
Ó Pátria, sente-se a voz
Dos teus egrégios avós,
Que há-de guiar-te à vitória!
Às armas, às armas!
Sobre a terra, sobre o mar,
Às armas, às armas!
Pela Pátria lutar!
Contra os canhões, marchar, marchar!
(Heroes of the sea, noble people,
Brave and immortal nation,
Raise once again today,
The splendor of Portugal!
Among the haze of memory,
Oh Fatherland, one feels the voice
Of your distinguished forefathers,
That shall lead you to victory!
To arms, to arms!
Over land, over sea,
To arms, to arms!
For the Fatherland, fight!
Against the cannons, march on, march on!)
Here we go! Now, both Portugal and Iceland, they would fight. With Iceland, their debut at this tournament, was so special. So as for Ichigo… Hoshimiya.
First half started with the Turkish referee!
Fernando Santos, former Coach of Greece, who had written history for Greece's last Golden Generation, now leading Portugal, but at first…
ICELAND STROKE! OH DEAR. THANKED GOD PORTUGAL WAS SAFE! But Sigurðsson's message to Rui Patricio was a total nightmare for Portugal. But still 0-0.
Well, some Icelandic word like "ð" is translated to "d". Notice that.
Nani moved up, seemed like Icelandics didn't easily give this match to Portugal. Being Nordic like Sweden, obviously Iceland would play like nothing left behind.
Cristiano Ronaldo looked wanna break the players of Iceland but nothing helped them at all. But at least they got corner kick. João Moutinho please?
Ohh man, corner kick and missed, damn Portuguese. Then Icelandic tried to make another attack, but clearly, it wasn't strong enough.
Failed!
11'! And Portugal 0-0 Sweden… oops Iceland. Damn Sweden and Iceland, WHY ICELAND NOT DENMARK OR NORWAY?
Wait, at 21'… NANI! HE HEADED! AND… OHHHHHHH, DAMN GOOD HANNES! HANNES, GOALKEEPER OF ICELAND, HAD STOPPED PORTUGAL FROM SCORING! 0-0!
Nani missed a chance, now, definitely, Nani had to do everything. He sent, passed ball to others. Just like he had to work like a warrior. And Nani's hard work gave a result. CR7 got a free kick. Minako decided to turn up, as Sailor Venus. Ichigo decided to encounter back…
"Sailor Venus, me…"
She whispered something that Ichigo had to notice. After she escaped alive few months ago in Syria, it was a true honor to play and cheer for a team, although… Iceland… geez…
Coach Lagerbäck had nothing to worry. He trusted Ichigo also he didn't be sure how far Iceland could hold. And Ichigo…
DANCE!
But Portugal has a magician, the man who resisted the dance! CRISTIANO RONALDO! Dora-nikov, while playing an ancient folk song that might be written by a Belarusian, he suddenly smelt something…
"(Wait…)"
From the Portuguese stand's side, he guessed something was… unclear. A… a…
"(Damn it…)"
Meanwhile André Gomes challenged the Icelandic defense, and got a foul.
"Bwhat? C'mon!"
And while no one sure… Mario sent to Gomes. WAIT! VENUS ACTIVATED… OH, GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! 1-0 for Portugal! NANI SCORED! BRILLIANT! BRILLIANT! As Nikov was still playing a folk song it had to be the best to prove the Portuguese souls…
Now, Portugal totally ruled the match. Ichigo H., she seemed to be confused. She wasn't changing her clothes yet so she couldn't make step. It was 32' after the goal…
Guerreiro! Gomes! Moutinho! Ronaldo!
As all was on fire, Iceland found itself minimal attacking chance but at least they held up the result. But Iceland seemed to lose all control.
Ichigo was trying to change herself. Meanwhile, Minako, she seemed to get strength from the goal!
Cristiano Ronaldo was trying to score! OHHHHH! MISSED! Still, Portuguese stars controlled it all. But Portugal is just… Brazil.
If you check, when Brazil depended too much on Neymar, Portugal depended too much on Ronaldo. WHYYYYYYYYYY?
Even Nani scored, but he thought this match was for CR7 only…
"Right, joking me?"
But seemed like Portugal didn't stop, they continued making trouble for the Icelandics. Totally, Iceland had to hold the line tired and losing many chances to prove…
Lars, were you kidding?
But still, 1-0 was the final result of the first half. Lucky! At least for this. Minako, in whole first half, just like was flying. She had faced not many problem due to Ichigo's weakness of controlling the game.
1-0!
…
…
…
…
…
But Nikov, after he checked out, he saw nothing… weird, was somebody… he still in alert…
…
…
…
…
…
Second half!
Ichigo finally decided to release the power of wings and loves! But who knew? Might be?
…
Well, situation wasn't different as for the first half, Ichigo was thinking about calling someone…
"Well, I have to change. If not, no one can help."
She looked, and… release!
BOOM!
…
So the girl was called… really, Konata Izumi?
But while Minako was trying, suddenly, Konata and Ichigo together combined power. And they got stronger!
WHAT? At 50'… GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! ICELAND! GGOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, JÓHANN GUÐMUNDSSON! 1-1! ICELAND FIRST EVER GOAL IN AN OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT! BETTER THAN ALBANIA!
Wow, Konata truly gave power for Ichigo. Minako couldn't underestimate Ichigo anymore, so be it. Minako called…
"Rei Hino, welcome, my sister!"
Now, it became a clash between Portugal and Iceland! But lack of experience was the main problem for Iceland. True!
CR7 to Guerreiro, they all launched fire! Free kick please! Portugal, with Minako and Rei, they combined Sailor strengths.
"BOOSYE!"
Nikov was still on the stadium, he watched something…
"(First, Minako, then, Ichigo. Damn those beasts…)"
Mario, Gomes, all combined, they wanted to aid Ronaldo. But Ronaldo was being watched everywhere by the Icelanders.
Konata, using some granted wishes, had been trying to create a strike for Ichigo and her Iceland against the Portuguese, but Rei and Minako, both gained much experiences, also used to fight back and sometimes disabled Iceland's chances.
Still 1-1!
At 70', right then…
Nani! NANI, GREAT CHANCE! A CROSS FROM FREE KICK AND… DAMN, ICELAND SAFE!
Ronaldo tried to make space but he couldn't, simply Icelanders surrounding him… too many! Arón Gunnarsson threw ball back. 75'.
When finding that she could not win alone, Minako called Rias Gremory! BOOM! Rias! Sailor strength was useless in front of Konata-Ichigo clan, they needed a brand new strength!
Meanwhile, Konata and Ichigo both held together against massive Portuguese attacks. But since Ichigo H. got back balance, she could move on.
But seemed like nothing was changed after all. PEPE! 82' and… ohh, lol, went out! Portugal 1-1 Iceland, really?
Later, CR7 OHHHH, MASSIVE ATTACK FROM RONALDO BUT THE HEADER COULD NOT WIN OVER GOALKEEPER, ICELAND REPLIED, ALFREĐ! OHHH ALMOST SCORED.
LOOOOOOOL…
And now the match came much more tired, over 90' and still 1-1. Rias, Minako and Rei, all together, why they still failed to win 2 girls led by Konata and Ichigo?
They didn't want this ending…
They tried but Portugal seemed useless. Iceland also, they didn't feel better than this draw. Damn you, Fernando Santos! HOW THE HELL YOU TAUGHT THE GREEKS? THE PORTUGUESE? KIDDING?
Only 2 minutes added from the referee with… Erdoğan's face. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… Turkish referee looked like Mr. President Recep Tayyip. No explain.
Still, only 2 girls managed to draw 3 girls combined power. Ricardo Quaresma asked they need help or not. Only free kicks…
CR7…
…
…
…
ENDED! 1-1 draw, Iceland had gotten their first point… RIGHT ON THEIR FIRST TOURNAMENT!
Minako Aiko (Portugal) 1-1 Ichigo Hoshimiya (Iceland)
Shock… only this, Matadora, at home…
He burnt Icelandic flag. He couldn't accept this fact…
Really?
Matadora yelled a lot. He considered Portugal like brothers, he didn't want a draw, so…
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK ICELAND FUCK FUCK FUCK ICELAND!" El shouted as he continued to burn other Icelandic flag…
Charisteas was with El Matadora, he only… wanna slap his face about how… dumb-ass this Spaniard…
"Really? Burning enemy flag, and yelling 'fuck Iceland'?"
LOL!
