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.Santiago Arias Colombia Jersey . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. David Ospina Colombia Jersey . Ryan Garbutt had a goal and two assists as Dallas snapped a six-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. http://www.nationalcolombiafootball.com/sebastian-perez-colombia-jersey/ . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. Farid Diaz Colombia Jersey . -- On the field, it was business as usual for Jameis Winston and No. Radamel Falcao Jersey . "I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from.ESPNs poll of the NFLs top five MVP candidates includes four players who probably would not have been considered MVP candidates coming into this season (Derek Carr, Matt Ryan, Ezekiel Elliott and Dak Prescott).That point illustrates how the 2016 NFL campaign could end up as a sea of change for the league, yet that view becomes even clearer when noting the volume of very strong dark-horse MVP candidates. Here are four to consider:1. QB Kirk Cousins, Washington RedskinsOne reason Washington was hesitant to give Cousins a long-term contract in the offseason was the question about his vertical passing (prroduction on aerials traveling 11 or more yards downfield).ddddddddddddCousins did rate fourth among passer-rated quarterbacks in vertical yards per attempt (YPA) over the course of the 2014 and 2015 seasons, but a lot of his 12.0-yard mark in that category was in part thanks to receiver DeSean Jackson. Cousins had a 19.6 vertical YPA mark on throws to Jackson in this time frame, a pace that was nearly double the 10.2 vertical YPA Cousins had on targets to other receivers. ' ' '
