Such is the size of Iceland's population, it was estimated that one in every 33rd Icelandic person was inside the Stade Geoffroy Guichard supporting their team against Portugal.

As recently as four years ago, Iceland was ranked 133rd in the world but now sits inside the top 35.
Faced with the daunting prospect of overcoming a team full of household names, including three-time World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo, it recorded a historic point in its first ever appearance at a major international tournament.
But Iceland has overcome the odds to even reach this stage; with its outdoor pitches being unplayable for the majority of the year and with a population the same size as Leicester -- less than 330,000.
