The chant was almost hypnotic.

Iceland were the better team. They outclassed their opponents.

LineyReborn · 28/06/2016 01:11

I think Rooney was put off his stride by wondering about the details of Iceland's economic trading agreements with the EU.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 28/06/2016 08:42

Roy Hodgson resigned.

It is good, do they all learn it in school or something!! Like "today is Viking War chant day, get your throat lozenges out."

I like the video here - metro.co.uk/2016/06/27/iceland-captain-aron-gunnarsson-leads-players-and-fans-celebrations-after-famous-euro-2016-win-over-england-5970567/

I was youtubing to see it again last night. It is awesome. I was trying to think if any other nations/teams have a brilliant chant but cant off the top of my head. I'm sure us Irish have a corker hidden away somewhere Wink probably makes no sense to anyone else though Grin

StrawberryQuik · 28/06/2016 09:50

I like the goalies little dance at the end, soo happy.

VioletBam · 28/06/2016 09:54

Could anyone link to this phenomena?

MrsSpecter · 28/06/2016 09:58

MrSlant · 28/06/2016 09:59

This is a great video of it, less background music than the one from the end.

LadyMaryofDownt0n · 28/06/2016 10:00

Lol mrspec Irish fans would support anyone other than England, you do know that right??

But yes Iceland are sexy guys, great chanting!

MrsSpecter · 28/06/2016 10:00

It makes me want to grrrr Grin i feel like i'm match ready every time i watch it!

MrsSpecter · 28/06/2016 10:01

I know lady Grin the green top just bounced out at me amongst the sea of blue. Fwiw i'm Irish and i wanted england to get through.

FurryLittleTwerp · 28/06/2016 10:18

Loved the noise - really menacing Grin like a sort of Viking Haka

TheVermiciousKnid · 28/06/2016 10:27

They do look like properly Icelandic. The Viking bloke with the beard is quite something.

I'm convinced he had an extra player (or two) hidden in that beard.

LadyMaryofDownt0n · 28/06/2016 10:42

Ah I see, Dia dhuit Grin to you.

Snap, although I was very pleased with the result awaits flames

The atmosphere must have been amazing, I watched all the matches I could. I wish I could have attended though.

ShelaghTurner · 28/06/2016 11:07

I couldn't give a toss about football, much less international football but by God I would waste some hours watching their ball skills 😏

MrsSpecter · 28/06/2016 13:18

Dia is Muire duit lady! Grin

FoxesOnSocks · 28/06/2016 13:22

Maybe the Irish fan was there to hand over the best fans award?

Icelandic fans were brilliant.

OldBeanbagz · 28/06/2016 13:31

eltsihT how old is the single brother? Not asking for myself but for my lovely single SIL.

Seriously I love Iceland and have been 4 times already. Do you think i could move there post Brexit?

MrsSpecter · 28/06/2016 13:52

Oh good call foxes! The fans were great.

IamaBluebird · 28/06/2016 14:00

Aron Gunnarsson is a Bluebird, he's lovely. Well done The Iceman. Smile

cozietoesie · 28/06/2016 14:14

I'd guess that they were chanting 'Ut' (Out) It's a Viking/Saxon battle cry.

LaserShark · 28/06/2016 14:22

It reminded me of the Bolton army 'ugh ugh ugh' when they were closing in on Jon Snow's men - terrifying and hypnotic. But the Iceland supporters are not being led by a psychopath and feeding their enemies to dogs so it was also quite sexy like Ramsay Bolton who I completely fancy despite all the torture and all

I was totally in support of Iceland last night - I couldn't support England anymore after the international laughing stock this country just became and I was willing Iceland to wipe the floor with us. I'm hoping they win the whole tournament now!

crankyblob · 28/06/2016 14:25

Oh wow! I love this!

I had better not show DH, he is still sulking Smile
