England, the only country in the world to leave europe twice in a week. Fun fact: Englands Manager is paid 4,6 Million $ a year, Icelands Manager is a part time dentist.
*The Assistent coach is a part time dentist*. Their Swedish coach Lagerbäck is a long time professional coach who brought Sweden to five straight knockout rounds in big tournaments and who has had the pleasure of never loosing against England (and he has played against them seven times).
They have two. One of them is a denist, yes, but the other coach have been in football and known England's coach since the 70's when he was a coach in Sweden.
I think he was saying the "soccer tournament" part in lower case--because it IS an association football (i.e. soccer) tournament--not saying it was part of the actual name of said tournament.
The strange part it the cup at least for me, because no one calls it that in Europe, just the Euro or if you want the official name then it`s European Championship.
I think he was saying the "soccer tournament" part in lower case--because it IS an association football (i.e. soccer) tournament--not saying it was part of the actual name of said tournament.
He has to say Euro Cup Soccer tournament otherwise Americans won't understand because Americnas don't give a shit about both soccer and europe and rightly so since soccer is boring shit.
+Peter Jackson ahh typical American windbag. You just stick to your American sports. The sports that the rest of the world don't give a fuck about. "Soccer", the most popular sport in the world btw. But it's boring because they're not trying to get a ball through a tiny hoop and scoring 100 fucking points every game. Utter drivel. And don't get me started on baseball.
I heard that over 90% of all tvs in iceland was turned on and out of those 99,8% were tuned in on this match. that's pretty unrealistic, however quite true
of course first time ever in icelandic football history that our national team qualfy for major tournument and it was not a one time thing we also qualfied for the 2018 world cup
This is one of the great things about living in small, less significant nations - If you're, say, from the US, you'll regularly get to celebrate gold medals in pretty much every sport, but you'll never know the joy of being the underdog that takes down a colossus like England, Russia, or well, the US. Congrats to Iceland from Finland. :)
think you should learn the difference between 'Brits' and England. Also they won the WC in 1966 so your pissy little internet comment is even more unvalid. Please delete. I have defeated you
The individual players are not that bad - the striker Harry Kane outscored a lot of extremely good foreign talent in the league this year. They just suck collectively, where as Iceland are extremely well coached and have great camaraderie.
To call England a power house in soccer/football is a bit of a stretch. Their league is exciting, sure. But their league's top stars are not English in the last twenty years.
+Felix Butterfield stars, not above avergare midfielders. Gerrard never was in the top 3, lampard never was, only beckham, but then you're talking way back.
Yeah we've sucked hard for a pretty long time. Either bad management, or not enough talent, whatever the reason it does not look set to change anytime soon.
It is simply called ' Euro 2016 ' why always make it that difficult? And stop calling it soccer. They play the ball with their foot, so it's football. You can call your sport GrabingEggBallAndKickingItWhileRunningWithItBall
@lesslighter - Take it from an Icelander, we are not in the EU. Our application was dropped last year. The EEA is one thing but our main problems are our fisheries. The EU would force us to share them with the rest of the Europe. That's why our application was taking so long, Brussles was refusing to give on concessions to Iceland in regards to our EEZ. We do not want anything to touch our greatest renewable resource. We kicked the British out of our waters during the Cod Wars and we're not handing them out for free to Brussels.
lesslighter Indeed, it's closer to a trade deal with a lot of extra baggage added to it. I'm personally opposed to Iceland joining the EU, unless clear and indefinite protection is ensured for our fisheries and exclusive economic zone.
@@mattscheibert2715 Yeah sure turn up as an 89th minute substitute both times and your government has convinced you both times that you mattered 😂 keep dreaming kid.
I live in Iceland and watched this game with my 7 year old daughter who was visiting me from Virginia. Quite an event because we as well as a good deal of Reykjavik the capitol were in the city center watching on the big screen. I lived in Brazil during the World Cup and saw how they got into their national team and now here and I wish the states had something similar to this but we don't. We have the Olympics and the Super Bowl but those are different because we don't come together as a people and embrace it. During a World Cup game that Brazil is playing I would have to estimate at least 90% of the 200 millions Brazilians are watching and 98% of the Icelandics watched them beat England as well as watched them lose to France.
He's a terrible addition to the show. Probably the worst part. He's just not smart or charismatic enough to keep up with Colbert, let alone acting as his sidekick (or even just making side comments). Unfortunately, Colbert doesn't seem like the kind of person to let him go unless he does something really awful, though. So I guess we're stuck with him.
Apologies. you are right. Shouldn't a stratocaster or les paul be considered a basic need in iceland? Just like 4G unlimited data, personal sauna and any apple or samsung product?
Lol when he said the entire population was doing the “slow hand clap” with the team, it was actually kinda true because everyone and I mean everyone was watching that game and literally sobbing!
USA mocking England for getting knocked out of Euro 16 by Iceland. But USA fail to even qualify for the world cup by being knocked out by Trinidad and Tobago. That is some Karma.
What a night that was...even people in India were discussing only of the Iceland's win and their famous Vikings clap. It was a breaking news in India too. Wow... Iceland love u
I actually was on iceland when this happed, and we should have had a big family reunion. 15 out of the 50 people who had rsvp yes came, and the rest was i France watching this game. 99.8% of the icelandic people sat in front of their tv's rooting our boys on!
I think it's a pretty big deal when a country with only a third of a million people beats a country with more than 65 million people. There are literally 200 times more people in the UK than Iceland!
Baby Hitler I agree completely, and it highlights how underfunded the grassroots levels are. Because of the amount of money spent, a lot of players come from around the world, shrinking the pool that are England qualified.
This is why football > other sports: No other big sport is so hard to gamble on, nowhere else do underdogs win or at least draw this often. What you might call "low scoring game" only means that every time you DO try to score, it's sooo much more important than - say - a single shot in basketball. That's why they are allowed to celebrate like crazy, because one goal can mean the world (cup). It's not boring to watch, it's like a showdown in the wild west: if you score, you're damn well in the game. If you can score again, you're looking really good. It's not BAD if you only score just before the end, it just adds suspense with every second going by. Bet on a footie game and you'll understand how tense it is for people who understand all facets of the beautiful game.
Let's make a deal: we'll call it depending on where you are. If I ever to go to the US, I'll call it soccer, but while I'm here in Europe (or anywhere else in the world), I'll call it football. But that means any American tourist out of the US has to also call it football, but back in the US can call it soccer all you like.
Americans have a sport called football already and "handegg" isn't catchy, it makes sense to call it soccer lol Also, you use both of your feet, why isn't it called "Feetball"?
Why is everyone still underestimating Iceland? In their qualifications, they 3-0'd Turkey, 1-0'd Netherlands in their own country and tied 1-1 against Portugal. Iceland isn't bad, England just played awful.
It's a bit ironic all the Brexits joke, though, because Iceland was never part of the European Union. Funny how Nordic nations like Iceland and Norway can stay out of the EU and no one calls them xenophobic.
There's a bit of nuance to this: There were always lots of sensible non-xenophobic reasons to leave the EU, many of those reasons were even made by the Leave campaign. The more important point is that the loudest voices in the Leave campaign didn't run on those points but were instead running on xenophobic slogans and (arguably) most of the Leave voters were voting out of xenophobia instead of more reasonable motivations.
Norway and Iceland's reasons for not joining the EU are not at all xenophobic. Both countries accept immigrants freely, and I know that in Iceland, the vast majority of the population want the country to accept more. They are also still apart of the Schengen open borders pact.
one of the biggest reason iceland dont want anything too do witht the EU is too protect our 200mile exclusive fishery zone since that is 40% of our Export and if we would join the EU we would have too share it and then our controld fishing would get fucked and fish population around iceland would drop dramaticlly
Norway's not in 'cause they're oil rich...once the oil runs dry, they'll apply. Iceland's out 'cause they don't want to share their fishing grounds, once the fish run out, they'll come about.
The way Colbert somehow manages to make everything political, including the unfolding of a cinderella story at the Euros, makes his show unbearable to watch.
never understood why people are so excited about this sport, 22 men run on a big field back and forth, minimum contacts, looks very slow, extremely boring, you watch it a couple hours and if you very lucky you can see 1 or 2 goals in a huge gate O_o
Don't underestimate professional sports. Think about it, these guys are running constantly for 45 minutes, dodging players, trying to steal the ball and trying to get past defenders while running and also aiming towards a goal to make a shot while they are fatigued. It's not easy.
Fans know how hard it is to score that's why people freak out in excitement. It's like when you're watching basketball and there is only a few seconds left on the clock and the score is tied. If a player sinks the ball in with only a few second lefts to win the game, everyone would flip shit and go crazy lol
okay how about this, i just came up with a killer strategy! 1 man leads that ball, 10 others teammates surround! him tightly, so noone can get this lousy ball, they go this way (as a triangle structure) straight to the opponents gate, untill it's there! Huh! And why da heck i don't get paid billions like all those fancy coaches? ;P
are you american? then i guess it's perfectly normal to call it slow and boring. you grew up watching american sports, americans love sports like american football or basketball which have plenty of scores and they grow impatient when the teams are not scoring for a long time. i grew up on the other side of the world where football (soccer) is like a religion and people love it so much more than any other sport. if i were american, then i probably would have preferred american football as well .
10% of Iceland people of whom which like soccer enough to go to the game, could afford to go because they jailed their bankers and bailed out their people instead, so they could spend the extra money they have to go not to mention the vaction time to enjoy it. let that sink in America...
England, the only country in the world to leave europe twice in a week.

Norway's not in 'cause they're oil rich...once the oil runs dry, they'll apply. Iceland's out 'cause they don't want to share their fishing grounds, once the fish run out, they'll come about.

Except that unlike the Brits, we actually monitor our fish well, so that it's not going to run out!
I am from Iceland and i did not expect that.
The commentator was CRAZY!!!
The way Colbert somehow manages to make everything political, including the unfolding of a cinderella story at the Euros, makes his show unbearable to watch.
It was actually the commentator that pointed out the politacal thing about brExit. Saying what he said.
"fuck this im outta here" hahaha
never understood why people are so excited about this sport, 22 men run on a big field back and forth, minimum contacts, looks very slow, extremely boring, you watch it a couple hours and if you very lucky you can see 1 or 2 goals in a huge gate O_o
Don't underestimate professional sports. Think about it, these guys are running constantly for 45 minutes, dodging players, trying to steal the ball and trying to get past defenders while running and also aiming towards a goal to make a shot while they are fatigued. It's not easy.
Fans know how hard it is to score that's why people freak out in excitement. It's like when you're watching basketball and there is only a few seconds left on the clock and the score is tied. If a player sinks the ball in with only a few second lefts to win the game, everyone would flip shit and go crazy lol
okay how about this, i just came up with a killer strategy! 1 man leads that ball, 10 others teammates surround! him tightly, so noone can get this lousy ball, they go this way (as a triangle structure) straight to the opponents gate, untill it's there! Huh! And why da heck i don't get paid billions like all those fancy coaches? ;P
are you american? then i guess it's perfectly normal to call it slow and boring. you grew up watching american sports, americans love sports like american football or basketball which have plenty of scores and they grow impatient when the teams are not scoring for a long time. i grew up on the other side of the world where football (soccer) is like a religion and people love it so much more than any other sport. if i were american, then i probably would have preferred american football as well .
that would be incredibly boring. simple and naive of you.
Football is so stupid and boring that the whole world cares about it.(Sarcasm)
'this thing' 😂 😂
I watch this many 😂 times. Funny as hell 🤣. It happened again. In 2024😅
YOUR USA LOST AGAINST TRINIDAD AND DIDN'T QUALIFIED FOR WC LOL ! ATLEAST ENGLAND HAVE ONE WC TROPHY AND WE PLAY WC EVERY YEAR
I am Icelandic.. what the commentator said is exactly what Stephen said :D and the slow hand clap is AWESOME
Its not a slow hand cap, its the VIKING CLAP
Lolol... The announcer's hand is not caught in a food disposal.
im from iceland and the game versus england was the easiest game for us in the tournament
and yet us in Wales stayed in until the semi finals :) :)
I cant believe his show is still on the air
"Powerhouse" England hahahaha
Here’s an idea: call our game football and your weird game can be called 0.3 meter ball.
England>America
it is not "called the Euro Cup Soccer Tournament" :D
huge respect for Iceland though, fantastic for them!
I would love to hear JP Dellacamera say that on Tuesday when we beat England!!
10% of Iceland people of whom which like soccer enough to go to the game, could afford to go because they jailed their bankers and bailed out their people instead, so they could spend the extra money they have to go not to mention the vaction time to enjoy it. let that sink in America...
this would never have happened if Jon Snow had done a better job defending the wall
Thanks im from Iceland
