Well, what to say. First of all, it's a somewhat nice moment though, and you do know this already, I think you could easily have done better than this 'on a better day'. ;)
However, what I find to more disappointing is how lacking the picture is in the technical aspect.
The focus is of course slightly incorrect but I somehow feel you (and I might be wrong here) could have compensated for it slightly more by applying USM before resize. Anyway, that's what has worked for me with slightly blurred shots - I'm sorry if I'm stating the obvious. :S
More disappointing though is the post-production. The colors are somewhat incorrect here (e.g. the the much too red and saturated color of Fylkir outfit) and the picture has a slight blue/cyan color-cast.
In addition, there are some large areas in the picture that are fully saturated in one or more colour-channels. This is especially noticeable with the guy in the front where a large swath of his outfit above the 'Bónus' logo is fully saturated in the red channel. The fully blown white hightlights (as in the white sock) are also distracting but not nearly as much as the over-saturated red in the Fylkir-outfit.
One of the best I've seen so far. I'm predicting a soccer shot in the top three. You caught the action at the right point. Good facial expressions on the players that you can see. You should do well with this one.
