Awesome underdog story in the Euro Cup.
Iceland, with only 330,000 people, has made the round of 16 for the first time ever.
They go up against England today. ESPN said that Iceland has fewer registered soccer players in it than the state of Rhode Island.
If they beat England, It would have to be one of the bigger upsets in sports history.

Meanwhile, England is voting to see if they should compete for the cup in the future.

Tough week for the lads across the pond...first Brexit and now this. There is no doubt the pubs of London are reaping the rewards of that.

They said it at the end of the game, Iceland has less registered soccer players than the state of Rhode Island. Less than 10K. Just beat the country where the game was invented.
