Fair enough, but die Mannschaft isn't in the best shape at the moment and we really struggled during those games even though the results were good.Well, you were consistent enough to kick our asses twice during the last two years

They will qualify for the next Euros. Hamren was far too reliant on a small group of players and will proably leave the coaching role.
I think Hamren was a coward in a way that he didn't have the courage to renew the team and to remove some of the "heroes" of the 2016 squad who are appearently past their peaks. Probably the appreciation for the golden Generation has been too big, but a coach sometimes has to make brave decisions. Iceland doesnt have plenty of promising talents but there are at least 3 or 4 that would have deserved to play a bigger role in the national team in the last 2 years and I hope they will do in the future.
I am not worried about the future of Iceland, there are new good talents to step up in a few years
It is very typical of Hamrén... I mean, he almost destroyed Sweden when he coached them, making the team around Zlatan Ibrahimovic, something that the team wasn't used to, which is why we only reached Euro 2016 and failed miserably when we competed there. So yeah, he is among the worst coaches in Northern Europe if you ask me and Iceland should kick him out before he makes even more harm to them.
I've heard in the last couple days that it could be UK - Russia, France and Germany are the only other countries capable of hosting with no notice. France and Germany have ruled it out and Russia has its own logistical difficulties (plus the WADA drugs ban which would probably discourage UEFA)Clearly the current set up isn't viable curing covid so I think with only a few months to go they need to make a decision as to which country will host. Travelling to a million different countries throughout the pandemic isn't happening. Anyone heard anything other then the Russia rumour?

I never seen political/anti-doping reasons discouraging FIFA or UEFA to do anything, but maybe the pressure's too high on this one...
Also, with the current situation I can't see a fast decision for the UK happening, but let's see when they will decide actually
