The population of England is over 50 million. The population of Iceland is over 300,000. England has a storied history of football/soccer. Most people probably don’t know Iceland plays. So, I think it was kind of an upset.

Iceland has something like 330,000 people, and to put together a national team as good as the one they have is actually pretty amazing.
