Yes, they are ~180 times smaller than England.
But Iceland nearly qualified for the 2014 WC.
Iceland has been playing well in the Euro.
England has struggled to break down teams in the Euros.
A lot of people on reddit including myself aren't surprised to see Iceland doing so well |

Yeah, but really, we should be beating a team whos 47th in the FIFA World Ranking whilst we are 11th.
We have players who are scoring 25 goals a season yet we struggle to beat a team with not as many quality players as we do (no offence)

| I could understand that mentality coming into the tournament perhaps, but coming into the game with the knowledge of what happened in the group stage? I don't think this is "one of the greatest Euro upsets ever" like ESPN is making it out to be |

| FIFA World Rankings are worthless and I have no idea why anyone takes them seriously. |

| in all seriousness after their first game (I think it was their first) against portugal and ronaldo's comments afterwards and the facts like 10 percent of the country going to france for the game and hearing stuff about other games like 99 percent of the country watching.. that's really cool imo and i read an espn article about how a ton of the players aren't used to the spotlight and it's all new to them.. idk something about it just makes me want to support them |

Really, the weakness is in our defense, Iceland have had 3 shots on target and 2 goals.

Not taking anything away from Iceland tho, they've been clinical and have cut out good chances.

iceland's defense is incredible, it's going to take a real team to beat them
first they shut you down, then you get frustrated, then you do what england did which is just errantly cross and try to do too much on the offensive end of the ball |
