00:00You
00:30It's not only about sports
00:36It's not just about amazing ability football is a language in itself it surpasses all barriers
00:49When I get the ball at my feet I feel absolute love
00:55When it gets to the pitch we're on equal grounds
01:00Leo Nacio police are you?
01:05The goosebumps and the emotions phenomenal
01:11Football can help bring communities together
01:15We could become bigger and greater through football
01:22Football is not a game this emotion
01:27It comes from the heart
01:30It's a way of life
01:32It's a way of life
01:34It's a way of life
01:36It's a way of life
02:00You
02:18Everybody dreams of lifting the World Cup trophy. That's the dream of every footballer everywhere in the world
02:24If you think about the size and the population, you know, you're always being on the dog
02:29So we're not bothered about that
02:37It's pretty crazy how things have developed I
02:42Remember I was asked
02:442011 that's where I was starting to climb a little bit as footballer already 27 at the time
02:50I was asked in an interview. Do you think you're a better filmmaker or a goalkeeper?
02:53Then
02:58My answer was clear I'm a better filmmaker, but I'm a late bloomer and as I started to
03:05Pick up as a goalkeeper, and I think I'm having my best years later than most players
03:09Maybe so if you would ask me today, I would maybe I answer you differently
03:24It's been a lot of preparation and planning and it's a relief that we're now in a final preparation
03:34It's good to see the boys I
03:36Think everyone's really excited now for the World Cup
03:40There's been a few entries
03:43Aaron is very important for us
03:45Of course, we're all praying and hoping he will have a chance of making the World Cup
03:50Chance of making the World Cup
04:00We play as a team and I think a lot of countries forget that and I think our team is the best team
04:08even if we lose
04:21You
04:24Know this is the World Cup
04:27To lead a country to the World Cup finals is of course for every coach is a huge achievement in his career
04:34But for me coming from an amateur environment
04:38coaching kids for 15 years women and amateur men's team before I started with a national team is going to be
04:44Even a bigger moment leading Iceland as a nation to this big stage in football
04:49It's nothing you can compare the World Cup to
05:19You
05:39This is a game we've been looking forward to since the draw was made
05:45We've gone through the Argentinian squad and now they play
05:50I
05:51Think it's a bit impossible to try to study Messi and and watch his goals because he can do everything
05:59You know, they always wanted to give the ball to Messi
06:02He's incredibly good. You know, I just felt like
06:05Every time he had the ball he could make something happen
06:12It's just a one point but it's a good point because it was
06:15The favorites in our group and it gives us confidence in our next game, which is in Nigeria and
06:22We need to fill the batteries and that's the most important thing now
06:36A little bit nervous is always difficult to play a team that everybody considered less good than the one that we played against last time
06:46I
06:47Think sometimes our second game has been a little bit less good than our first game
06:56You know, everybody's very pumped up before the first game so I think it's very important now to to get our feedback on the ground
07:04It's gonna be a very difficult match for us
07:07Probably we expected to lose against Argentina and maybe draw with Nigeria. It was the opposite
07:18It's the question how you react afterwards
07:20you have to learn from defeats and you normally take more from defeats than wins and
07:27We know what we could have done better
07:30I
07:31Think we could have done better
07:33We know what we could have done better
08:03You
