Iceland is the smallest country to ever qualify for the World Cup.

Amazing - about 350,000 people. That’s like Northeastern Wyoming fielding a team and qualifying for the World Cup.

The US National Team has a pool of people 1000x bigger to filter and select the perfect team and coaching staff. An amazing feat.

If you would have seen a deleted post by TCMTech, you would assume we are already in advanced stages of a relationship.
Just goes to show that you can't even get some sleep without missing out on something...I'm not sure what happened there.

About us going to the world cup. Well team play with a dash of Icelandic insanity has gotten us further being it good or bad than ordinary that's for sure.;)o_O

Berserkers (or berserks) were champion Norse warriors who are primarily reported in Icelandic literature to have fought in a trance-like fury, a characteristic which later gave rise to the English word berserk.

I guess some of the Berserkers stayed in Iceland? Made some berserk football players?:D
Well we do have a mushroom that grows here called berserker mushroom. Apparently the hallucinations and the toxic effects are so extreme/bad that not even drug users touch it.:eek:
