However after a long journey split over two days due to the air traffic chaos caused by the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland will it take its toil on the players or will they be closer as a team than ever?  They've certainly had enough time to discuss team tactics in deal and it may be an interesting match beacause of this.  However the team are making a point of stressing that the travelling will not affect their play on the night.
