"Iceland" of course - too many beers

Well done Iceland. Great win and well deserved. The Wife loves that strange "cheer" that you guys do at the matches. Is that an old Norse war cry ?

Ah! Of course! lol, I would never have made a connection, hee hee

Englandanic sank promptly after hitting Icebergland - reminds me of something related to codfish etc
If these Viking guys lay havoc on France as well then suddenly we are back at 900 a.d. with the fortunate lack of swords,bloodshed etc

the footballers here have always been shyte. over paid divas ,full of self important and no passion other than money.
never followed football so I've got no interest at all watching 22 divas kicking a bag of wind about.

It's easy to confuse. For many nations and languages "Iceland" is Ísland or Island, Islanti, Islandia, Islanda, Islande and so on...

And not all on you either mate, I didn't even know Iceland had a soccer team, lol, so I wasn't doing anything to help my poor confused self out, hahaha

...I didn't even know Iceland had a soccer team...

Not much grass fields there, either.
My guess is that there are more soccer fields in U.K. than whole population of Iceland.
This score is huge. On a scale of surprises... imagine Trinidad and Tobago winnining hokey game with Canada on some major hokey event.

Just listening to the excitement of an Icelandic commentator:

As one fan translated on Twitter, commentator yelled:
“Live the way you want England! Iceland is going to play France on Sunday! France Iceland! You can go home! You can go out of Europe! You can go wherever the hell you want!”
