The Aron Johannsson Thread

For Iceland, this stings just about as much as losing the Junior Goodwill Games gold medal hockey match to the USA Ducks.

 

Goldberg was one hell of a goalie

 

Aron Johannsson is great.
The Icelandic FA is great.
The USA sucks.
Please don't leave us Aron, we love you.
If you do leave us you are a traitor and we will hate you.

 

I kind of feel bad for Iceland. They've obviously desperate to make any kind of mark in the international game. Maybe this guy is once in a generation stuff for them. That's tough.

What's the opposite of a Sister City? Because that's what Mobile is to Reykjavik right now.

 

Gosh that sounds more like a whiney fan posting than an official statement from a nation's soccer governing body. How lame.

Thanks for the translation, though. Repped.

 

Just for the sake of accuracy total of 54 minutes in 3 games.

4/7/13 Vs NEC Nijmegen Johannson replaced Reijnen in 77. Altidore played 90. 13 minutes
4/14/13 Vs. FC Utrecht Johannson replaced Marcells in 64. Altidore played 90. 26 minutes
4/20/13 Vs. PSV Johannson replaced Altidore in 54. 0 minutes
5/5/13 Vs. Zwolle Johannson replaced Altidore in 60. 0 minutes
5/12/13 Vs. Willem II Johannson replaced Reijnen in 58. Altidore was replaced in the 73. 15 minutes

 

Nice.

Sung to the tune of Alt-J's Breezeblocks:

Please don't go, We'll eat you whole, We love you sooo! { We love you so, Aron Jo }

 

Not just World Cup..WORLD CUPS. He knows that he has the talent to be in our player pool for cycles to come. He has the ability to see 2014, 2018, 2022 and possibly even 2026 (a longshot), as he is only 22 years old..

 

It is translated on Ives site.

Just want to know what Iceland Football Association's Big Soccer user name is. They make sound like they just lost Subotic or Rossi.

 

I'd go one further -- like an ex-girlfriend's drunken Facebook wall posting.

 

Bankrupt country that doesn't pay up to foreign depositors who lost their "insured" savings in Icelandic banks.
Giver of sanctuary to wanted Americans.
Really part of North America.

 

We know what it's like to lose a player, so I guess we should understand how the Iceland FA feels. They just shouldn't have pressed "send" on that press release.

 

Damn Title IX took his jerb in D3

 

C'mon. Julie the Cat was always better than Goldberg. Coach Ryan knew what he was doing making Goldberg a defenseman.

 

Is that why he got pulled for Julie Gaffney to face Gunner Stahl?

 

I did too, until that official release that sounded like a fat 17-year old girl who had sex once with the high school quarterback and stalked his uninterested ass around for a whole year before going nuclear on her facebook and saying (in Lumpy Space Princess voice) "ARON, YOU WILL NEVER GET TO TASTE THIS RAINBOW AGAIN!". (Like he cares)

Now, the KSI is crying all over her pretty Fluttershy pillowcase while listening to the Cure's "Pictures of You".

 

Coach was an anti-Semite

 

He didn't have any issues with Lester Averman or Dean Portman.

 

You remember way too much about this movie

 

1. "Taste this rainbow?" Going to steal that. Not going to give you credit.

2. "Pictures of You" is just plain an awesome song.

 

Me too although that press release was a bit off-putting. The crazy thing is that they have 2-3 strikers of the same age better than Aron at the moment - Alfred Finnbogason scored 1 more league goal in the Eredivisie last year than Jozy and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson plays for Ajax.

Then there's also Gylfi Sigurdsson who was competing with Clint for minutes at Tottenham. Needless to say, it's pretty impressive the kind of talent their churning out for a country that size.

 

I plead the Fizzith.

 

Yeah, well, all of Disentegration is fantastic. Good album all around.

Still though, I hope the Icelandic Federation doesn't start cutting herself.

 

Looks like Aron got the short end of the Icelandic name stick

 

This helps heal the wound caused by Joe Ross deciding to play for Italy.
