Iceland can snatch a fairy tale qualification for the European Championship finals on Thursday but must first overcome a much-changed Netherlands team determined to catch up after a poor start to their qualifying campaign.
Thursday's Group A game at the -Amsterdam Arena gives the tiny island nation Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 95 Black Anthracite UK , with a population of less than half a million, a chance to be among the first to book a place at next year's tournament in France.
It will be their first major championship appearance, having narrowly missed out on the last World Cup in -Brazil last year.
Iceland lead the group standings with 15 points, two more than the Czech -Republic and five more than their Dutch hosts, who play a first game under new coach Danny Blind.
His appointment is as a result of the resignation of Guus Hiddink, who was never able to regain the confidence of both the Dutch soccer association and the public after a shocking 2-0 loss in Reykjavik Cheap Nike Air VaporMax 97 Summit White UK , Iceland in October.
Blind has moved quickly to stamp his own image on the team by changing captains, making Arjen Robben the new leader and demoting Robin van Persie to deputy.
"This squad has the necessary quality to break out of our current position," said Robben on joining up with the rest of his teammates.
He said he felt his game was back on form after recent injury setbacks.
"I'm fit again and that's important for me. The form is back. I felt that, playing [or Bayern Munich] against Bayer Leverkusen on the weekend," the 31-year-old said.
A win on Thursday will open the door for the Netherlands to yet squeeze into one of the top two qualifying places but if Iceland win for a sixth time in seven qualifiers then they will have secured a historic feat.
"Since beating Holland we have -realized that with this generation of -players we can reach the finals," said Dutch-based goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson on Tuesday.
"Naturally we are going to give our best but I think we can play the match without any fears. We actually have little to lose.
"We must win on Sunday against -Kazakhstan to qualify and we are on course for that."
BEIJING Cheap Men's Nike Air Max 97 Trainers Black University Red UK , Oct. 5 (Xinhuanet) -- The search for the perfect looks is prompting a huge number of Chinese people to go under the knife, spawning a multi-billion-dollar industry centered on plastic surgery.
Despite the fast growth, companies are now getting ready to extend the offline boom to the online world as the rapid growth of e-commerce has opened new vistas for companies.
What is interesting about the online expansion is that companies are using customer testimonials to attract new users. Customers are no longer reticent about their "nip and tuck" experiences and are ready to share their "ugly and beautiful photos" after a plastic surgery, as can be seen in SoYoung, an online cosmetic medicine platform.
Besides sharing customer experiences, SoYoung also helps customers to book plastic surgeries. Founded in 2013 Cheap Women's Nike Air Force 1-100 Low White UK , the company provides e-commerce services for nearly 2,000 plastic surgery hospitals and clinics selling services and products.
"Young people have an open mind for plastic surgery, especially the post-90s generation, who account for more than half of the users who have shared their experiences on the site," said Jin Xing, the founder of SoYoung.
"Most of the post-90s women consider plastic surgery as common Cheap Men's Nike Air Force 1 Low Leather QS White UK , and regard it as a high-end service. That is also why they are willing to share their 'beauty diary' with others."
Jin worked as an operations manager at several IT companies, including Tencent Holdings Ltd and Mop, before deciding to test his entrepreneurial skills.
According to data provided by SoYoung, the website has access to over 600,000 plastic surgery diaries, and attracts more than 100 Cheap Women's Nike Air Force 1 Explorer XX Geode Teal UK ,000 visitors every day. Its mobile application has 5 million active users.
According to industry sources, the total size of the plastic surgery market in China is expected to be about 300 billion yuan ($47 billion) every year, with a growth rate of 30 percent. It is estimated that the market will reach 800 billion yuan in 2018.
Despite the strong growth, China's per capita share of hospitals and clinics that conduct plastic surgeries is just 5 to 10 percent of that in South Korea.
Jin said that though the industry has grown substantially in China, Chinese still have limited access to necessary information about plastic surgery services. Questions like "Which hospital should I go to? Which doctor should I see? What's the price and how about the procedure?" often puts users in a quandary. SoYoung aims to fill this vacuum and provide the right answers.
On the platform, clients can first browse the stories of people who have undergone plastic surgery Cheap Women's Nike Air Force 1 Low GS Hyper Pink UK , and see their photo taken before and after the surgery and their experiences during the recovery process. They can then search for information about hospitals, doctors, operation items and prices under various categories.
Users can also get a comprehensive evaluation of the doctor's education, experience and finally choose a doctor they like.
SoYoung has already teamed up with 1,600 hospitals, both domestic and overseas Cheap Men's Nike Air Force 1 Foamposite Triple Black UK , from South Korea and Japan. Some of these are public hospitals and big medical institutions, but the majority are small-and medium-sized private hospitals.
"We persuade these hospitals to post the price lists for plastic surgery services and items on our website. If the hospital refuses to do so, we will not cooperate with them," Jin said.
There are also some requirements for the hospitals and clinics willing to participate in the platform, he said.
