The President of Iceland, Gudni Th. Jóhannesson, has proposed that the boy's football team that has been stuck in a cave in Thailand for nine days should be asked to lead the teams onto the pitch for the final game of the tournament on Sunday July 15. Guðni made the proposal on his official Facebook page yesterday afternoon after news broke that the boys had been found safe and sound and that the process of escorting them out of the cave was already underway.
Guðni expressed his joy and relief to hear the good news, saying that he hopes the rescue will go well: Wouldn't it be wonderful if the people in charge would task the boys with leading the teams onto the pitch at the final game of the World Cup in Russia?
Guðni then adds that the safety of the boys is the big story: Football is a wonderful sport, but there are many other things more important in life, most importantly life itself.
