Can Aron and His "Viking Warriors" Beat France?

Can Aron Gunnarsson beat France?
Aaron in Hebrew means lofty, exalted, high mountain. Aaron was Moses' older brother and first high priest of the Israelites. He's remembered for the "miraculous blossoming of his staff or rod."

Aron Einar Malmquist Gunnarsson is a 27-year-old Icelandic professional soccer player who plays for Welsh club Cardiff City. He's also captaining his homeland's team against hosting France in the quarterfinals of Euro 2016 later today.

This after upsetting England the week of Brexit.

Getur hann gert það?

Of course he's got some help, particularly from Gylfi Sigurðsson, another Icelandic soccer star of considerable repute, known for his laser precision shots from out-of-nowhere. Pundits point to the soft play of France so far and the twin talents of these two to say "anything's possible".

Then we have the "Viking Warriors" and their Viking chants invoking Norse gods. What a team is this Iceland.

I believe they've gone berserk.

"Fetched a Gun"

“It all happened during the football match. We don’t know [exactly what took place], but it appears the player was angry, fetched a gun and killed him.”
