Now who would have thought that plucky Iceland would have made such an impact on the 2016 Euro football championship?

 I always hoped for the best, not least because I have some Icelandic friends, but arguably the smallest country in the competition have shown themselves to have the biggest heart.

 Áfram Ísland!
