Pirate Galaxy » match-winning -- goal against Ireland

Kimi Raikkonen says Ferrari is lacking the raw performance to challenge Red Bull after he qualified fifth for the British Grand Prix.Raikkonen and teammate Sebastian Vettel had to settle for the third row on Saturday, though the latter is set to drop to 11th on the grid after being hit with a gearbox change penalty. Ferrari had hoped to take the fight to Mercedes this weekend but Raikkonen admits the team is struggling in the cold and windy conditions at Silverstone.Its always difficult to know, before the weekend, whats going to happen, Raikkonen said after qualifying. Obviously its not ideal to be where we are, but it was kind of expected. It was a bit tricky in the end but thats how it turned out to be.We dont have enough speed, theres much we can do to be at the front in these conditions, in windy conditions, as they are very tricky conditions for us. This is where we are right now, in this circuit and in these conditions. Hopefully tomorrow is a bit easier and we go forward from there.Raikkonen thinks Ferrari has reached a dead end with the set-up route it has followed over the weekend so far.I think in the end was not too bad. I think in qualifying my car has been the best it has been all weekend, but obviously it was still not easy, but we are a bit stuck with certain things. With the set-up we have we cannot change it.We can change a lot of things but it wont help because of certain issues that make us struggle with the handing. We could change things but it wouldnt make a different. It was not easy but this is it. Is it the circuit, the conditions? Its more the conditions the make us struggle a bit.Raikkonens contract was renewed to 2017 on Friday but he brushed off the importance of out-qualifying Vettel.It means nothing. You guys always have a lot of interest at looking at the numbers, but he had issues and if you make one mistake here theres a big time difference, so it means nothing. For me being ahead of Seb gives me nothing; if it was first and second then yes, its Ok, but when we are fifth and sixth then it gives me zero happiness. Angel Di Maria Jersey .

PARIS -- With an unassuming group of players lighting up the European Championship, Icelands dazzling advance has been infectious.Even France, which has a recent history of rebellion, is talking up the importance of team unity as the two-time European champions prepare to face Iceland in Sundays quarterfinal.If someone wants to act like a star, well put them back in their place, France defender Patrice Evra said. The team is the star.France may be host of Euro 2016 and one of the favorites to win the tournament, but the limelight has been well and truly seized by the fearless Icelanders, who are unbeaten in four matches and dispatched England to reach the last eight.Not bad for a team from the smallest nation to ever contest the European Championship.Iceland hasnt scrapped through with ultra-defensive football. It has scored the same number of goals as France -- six -- and stands potentially 180 minutes from the final.A lot of people have underestimated the smaller nations, Evra said.No longer, although France hasnt lost to Iceland in 11 previous meetings.Icelands ascent in international football can be traced through its past fixtures with France.Now ranked 34 in the world by FIFA, Iceland was as low as 131st when it last faced France in a friendly four years ago. Even then there were flickers of optimism for the Nordic nation of 330,000. Iceland led 2-0 before France came from behind to win 3-2.It was the same final score when Iceland was last at the Stade de France in 1999 for a European Championship qualifier against the then world champion.However vast the rankings gulf has been, Iceland has been no pushover..ddddddddddddMaybe we have players with less individual quality, if you compare our players with the French team, which has players in almost every position playing in the Champions League day in day out, Iceland joint-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson said.Theres not many in the Iceland team that has played Champions League. In individual quality you can see that they are superior. So we have to be collective and work together to make up for it.The pressure and expectation is all on France -- and particularly striker Olivier Giroud, who hasnt found the net since the opening game against Romania when the host won 2-1.Because he hasnt scored for two games some people might criticize him and say, `(Antoine) Griezmanns scoring all the goals, Evra said.Evra highlighted how Girouds header set up Griezmann for his second -- and match-winning -- goal against Ireland in the round of 16.We need Olivier and we believe in him, Evra said.France will have to cope without the suspended duo of center back Adil Rami and midfielder NGolo Kante on Sunday. Yohan Cabaye is expected to take Kantes place as was the case when Didier Deschamps rested the Leicester player for the final group game against Switzerland.Samuel Umtiti has been tipped to fill in for Rami and make his France debut on the biggest of stages. Set for a post-Euro 2016 move to Barcelona, Umtiti only made the France squad after two teammates pulled out injured.---Jerome Pugmire in Paris and Ciaran Fahey in Annecy, France contributed to this report.
