Hi all first of all thanks for the votes! But the first game of the season is over and unfortunately it's a 15pts L to strong Serbian team, the team did really good, Serbia lead us in every aspect of the game but we were true vikings and never stopped believing, the score is not giving the right vision of the whole game, we were only down by 6 when 3:30 were left of 4th quarter but fouls in the last minutes gave them the big lead, looking bright for the next games and hoping we can get some wins!

I have some recap of the game (79069) here with some help from our new appointed analyst Allen Iverson (AI)

Game Flow Breakdown
🟢 1st Quarter (29–26 Serbia):

Fast-paced and close

Great ball movement and efficient finishing

Herbertsson made an early impact off the bench

🔴 2nd Quarter (26–22 Serbia):

Serbia pulled ahead using perimeter shooting and offensive rebounds

Iceland missed open threes and struggled to stop transition

🟡 3rd Quarter (26–25 Ísland):

Iceland hung close, cut the lead to 6 (80–74)

Björnsson and Gnúpsson heated up from deep

Missed chances late in the quarter let Serbia stay ahead

🔻 4th Quarter (29–20 Serbia):

Serbia’s defense tightened, and they dominated the glass

Iceland’s offense stalled under pressure

Final few minutes featured fouls and free throws that widened the gap

✅ Strengths

Excellent team ball movement: 30 assists

Five players in double figures, showcasing offensive depth

High-effort rebounding and multiple second-chance points

❌ Areas to Improve

Defensive rotations, especially on three-point shooters

Containing fast breaks and second-chance opportunities

Limiting turnovers during high-pressure situations

Fun breakdown and a nice performance against a much stronger team. Nice to see us get the win against Belarus in the following game
