Iceland were very good, they deserved the Win.

Makes me laugh though, Iceland - what, 250k pop? England? 60million? They still trump us, England are such a let down, every tournament people get their hopes up just to remember how truly **** they are.

But again, Iceland deserved the win, so well done!

It was hard to watch but mostly because I wanted England to lose after the first 20 minutes but every minute after that was painful because both sides played like they had no idea what they were doing.

I think you mean England as Wales is still in the tournament.

Congrats to Iceland, CCP must be happy. Hope it spurs them on to develop some great eve content!

Will there be anyone sober enough to handle the update?

Part team on Iceland going nuts. part team in england going less nuts.

Is there a backup team in germany?

Didn't Iceland "beat" the Royal Navy 3 times already?

Great Britain = England, Scotland, and Wales.

UK = England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland
(and the full name is the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”)

England = Just the part of the island that is England.

So....it was UKxit the entire time everyone was calling it Brexit? Maybe the pronunciation of K next to an x is too challenging for the average palate. UK-zit...sounds like a skin condition....

Extreme laziness + meme addiction = Brexit (a meaningless confusion of letters).

Oh. Iceland and football. I had no idea Iceland has a football team. Who's the quarterback?

If we get chased by zombies, I'm tripping you.

Yep well done Iceland, better team won on the night. Watching England for what 35 years you get used to saying that line.

The SNP seems to think differently.
So it seems that the rest of us might learn the difference between UK and England after all.

It's easy to differentiate between England and Wales. England is that bit that hangs off the right hand side of Wales.

I read on BBC that the entire population of Iceland is about the size of the city of Leicester. So pretty amazing what they managed.

Then again, U.S. populations is 324mil to Argentina's 43mil, and you know what happened in the Copa America. We'd whup them in basketball, or... what other sports do the U.S. and Argentina both play? Rodeo? Steak eating contests?

Well done Iceland, it is a football result which will be remembered for years to come by both Iceland and England.

This is not a signature.

What i would do with the England team.

They should get 365 days of community service for playing so rubbish.... & banned from earning any money from football for 25years, after playing like they just didn't care BlinkP
