Hannes Thor Halldorsson.
That’s the name of the goalie who saved a Messi penalty and ensured that Iceland got a 1 – 1 draw against Argentina.
He has had a largely uneventful career – playing as goalie for KR Reykjavík , NEC Nijmegen in the Netherlands and Randers FC in Denmark.His only claim to 20 minutes of true fame came when he directed Iceland’s Eurovision Song Contest entry six years ago.
And then saves a penalty against Messi.
This then is the law of averages,this is the Han of God.
Argentina kept the ball to themselves for most of the game but could not score a winner.
For poor old Messi it was case of don’t cry for me Argentina all over again.With the weight of a nation’s expectations on his shoulders he missed one penalty and two free kicks.If all those had gone in he would have been on even terms with Ronaldo.
But the Iceland defence was only breached once in the game.It’s not looking good for Argentina.They have to play Croatia and Nigeria
in their remaining group matches and that’s not going to be easy.
