Iceland is facing France in a European Championship quarterfinal on Sunday. Here are five Iceland players to watch:HANNES HALLDORSSONFor much of Halldorssons career, goalkeeping was his side job, while his main income came from directing movies and music videos in Iceland. At Euro 2016 he has a starring role in the tournaments best feelgood story. Now a full-time pro, Halldorsson has been a reliable shot-stopper so far in the tournament, though he did concede a penalty against England when he brought down Raheem Sterling. If the ultimate underdogs can somehow go all the way in Euro 2016, Halldorsson could be a key character in the inevitable Hollywood dramatization.---RAGNAR SIGURDSSONMan of the match against England with a goal and a desperate last-ditch tackle to stop an equalizer, center-back Sigurdsson has seen his stock soar at Euro 2016. Tough in defense, he was more than able to answer England with some English-style physical play of his own. After the game, Sigurdsson was scathing about how England underestimated the Icelanders, saying they thought it would be a walk in the park. Currently at Russian club FC Krasnodar, Icelands co-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson predicts clubs across Europe will be rushing to buy Sigurdsson after the tournament.---ARON GUNNARSSONWhile he may play in the English second tier with Cardiff City, the bearded, Viking-like Gunnarsson had the better of Englands Premier League stars in midfield. A tough-tackling, robust presence, he also launches effective long throws which led to goals against Austria and England. The second most-capped player in the squad, Gunnarsson has electrified the Icelandic supporters. After the final whistle against England, he led the players and fans in a slow clap and chanting ritual with echoes of New Zealands rugby haka.---GYLFI SIGURDSSONNot to be confused with defensive hero Ragnar, Swansea City midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson reads the game well and plays a key role in Icelands lightning-fast transitions from defense to attack. He was also Icelands top scorer in qualifying with six goals, three of them scored against the Netherlands in upset wins. Sigurdsson takes Icelands penalties and scored his only goal of Euro 2016 from the spot against Hungary in the group stage. By far the best known player in the team which started against England, his time at Swansea and Tottenham Hotspur gave him valuable knowledge of the opposition.---KOLBEINN SIGTHORSSONScorer of the winning goal against England, with a little help from goalkeeper Joe Harts slow reactions, Nantes striker Sigthorsson is capable of causing more upsets against top international teams in the years to come. He has scored 21 goals for his country, putting him five shy of the record at the age of just 26. That record is held by the 37-year-old former Champions League winner Eidur Gudjohnsen, who is still in the squad but is more of a leader in the dressing room than on the field, having made just one brief substitute appearance at Euro 2016.Jake Allen Jersey . White came in fourth place in the event. He was the two-time defending gold medallist. The gold medal went to Swiss snowboarder Iouri Podladtchikov. Vince Dunn Blues Jersey . Kozun faked to the forehand and beat Monsters starter, Calvin Pickard, pad side in the second round for the winner. Spencer Abbott also scored in the shootout for the Marlies (25-13-4). http://www.cheapbluesjerseys.info/authentic-vince-dunn-blues-jersey/ . Houston won 3-0 to advance to face New York in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Last in the game, Di Vaio and Romero got into a shoving match with several Houston players. Romero appeared to elbow and kick Houston defender Kofi Sarkodie. Brian Sutter Blues Jersey .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. Brian Sutter Jersey . Rousey will put her perfect 8-0 record and hardware on the line against another undefeated fighter, 7-0 Sara McMann in the main event of UFC 170, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas Nevada on February 22nd.EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Looking around the New York Giants tight ends room, Kevin Gilbride Jr. knows this is the best group of players he has been given to coach.Larry Donnell has looked good after overcoming a neck injury that sidelined him the second half of last season. Will Tye appears ready to take the next step after being the biggest surprise of the offense in 2014.Matt LaCosse and Ryan Malleck have shown flashes, and sixth-round draft pick Jerrell Adams has shown he can block but he is still learning.Add in H-back Will Johnson, and Gilbride is a busy guy.His group doesnt include a Gronk, but he has guys who can make plays, which should help Eli Manning and the offense this season.What we like to do, what we try to do is, and Im talking about when were in season, is we like to get the guys who are the best at that particular job, Gilbride said Friday after practice. Whether that be an in-line blocker, a lead blocker from the backfield, split out as the No.1 receiver, whatever the case may be. What we try to do is put that person in the position that we like them in.Donnell probably is the best and most well known in the group, having caught three touchdown passes against Washington in a 2014 night game.However, his status coming into the season was uncertain because of the neck injury that limited him to eight games last season.A week into training camp, Donnell has looked good. Other than a couple of bobbles, he has made big plays down the middle.Its a blessing just to be back here playing football, being able to put on that jersey and helmet again, and run around and do what I do, Donnell said.He said working to get back on the field wasnt tough. It was a lot tougher watching his teammates play last season.You always have to prove yourself in that league and thats what I want to get back to doing.Gilbride wants Donnell to play stronger. Thats block better and hold on to the ball once he makes catches. He has fumbled struggling to gain an extra yard.Tye made the rosster as a free agent out of little Stony Brook on Long Island and had 42 catches for 464 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games, including seven starts.ddddddddddddHes certainly explosive with the football in his hands, Gilbride said. Then he is stout at the point of attack in the run game.What Tye needs to do is lower his pad level so he can get under opponents and move them, Gilbride said.Tye isnt taking anything for granted in this camp. He has a little more confidence than last season, but the butterflies are there.Being undrafted, you always have to prove yourself, he said. Last year I might have played in one or two preseason games. I cant wait for the preseason because I am going to play.LaCosse, who had three catches in two games last season, was getting a lot of work in camp until hurting his right knee this week. He seemingly is close to returning.He brings a knowledge of the position, number one, and hes a big target, Gilbride said, adding that the second-year player does everything well but he is not the best at all the tight end jobs.Malleck had some nice catches in the minicamp after signing as a free agent, while Adams needs to learn the playbook and adjust to playing against bigger and faster players.Its a business, you are not on a scholarship anymore, Adams said.As an H-back, Johnson can line up in the backfield and be a lead blocker, a pass protector or a receiver.Game notesFridays practice was basically a walk-through. Coach Ben McAdoo plans a fast, physical workout before giving the team off on Sunday. ... The coach is not certain that WR Odell Beckham Jr. will practice Saturday. He was cleated in the lower leg earlier this week and has not practiced at full speed since the injury. ... Cornerback Leon Hall, who was signed on Thursdsay, worked in the slot on Friday.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
