WATCH: Icelandic players’ united celebration after England win is one of the highlights of the Euros

Goosebumps

We wonder what Cristiano Ronaldo makes of this celebration?

The Portuguese star criticised Iceland’s players for celebrating their group draw last week by saying: “I thought they’d won the Euros the way they celebrated at the end.”

Well now Iceland, like Portugal, are just three games away from winning Euro 2016 after claiming a place in the quarter-finals following a 2-1 victory over England.

Most weren’t questioning whether England would beat Iceland but, rather, how many goals they’d beat them by.

That wasn’t taking into account the team mentality of Lars Lagerbäck’s men who shocked the world and cost Roy Hodgson his job in Nice.

This is what it meant to the 23 players who sent their die-hard fans into rapturous applause with this spinetingling celebration near the corner flag after the final whistle.

Goosebumps.
