Congrats! 335 thousand people, no problem. Great achievement, qualifying directly for the FIFA World Cup.

Well done indeed. I was rooting for them.

Also hoped Wales could squeeze in. A country that produced so many good players over the years..shame that they never played a world cup.

Ian Rush
Ryan Giggs
Gareth Bale

They were there in '58, but that was well before the time of the players you mentioned.

I think Wales are still ranked in FIFA's top 15, so their absence from the playoff pool may affect some of the matchups. The loser of Portugal/Switzerland could face a very dangerous foe.

Back to Iceland though. Time to order some Viking helmets.

Also pleased for lil Iceland and looking forward to more Viking chants at the next WC.

In the match against England at the Euro’s last year, 10% of the Icelandic population were in attendance. I suspect the entire population will be moving to Russia for the matches . lol

Re Portugal, imagine both Ronaldo and Messi missing out....it will be Harry Kane’s World Cup then! lol
