For you Americans; football is the thing where you kick a round ball with your feet. As opposed to eggball, where you use your hands on an egg-shaped ball
Fuck yea, Iceland!!!!!!

"See you, wouldn't want to EU!" - The European Union to Britain, probably.
ThePirateCatsRule
Well done Iceland. #walesbestfootballersintheuk
squawkandawe
If American football is eggball, does that make soccer flopball?
playsdarksoulswaytoomuch
Oh youre talking about soccer! Silly ice person.
MordorTheUnforgiving
Now that the Icelandic team is done teaching England how to play football maybe they can also teach them how to survive currency devaluation
SoDark
It's simple raise shrines and worship the all mighty tourist. Well that worked for a small population don't know about England.
OhhAPENNY
We just want a decent trade deal. We let them win...

I love soccer hate American football and I'm American don't hate us all op
completelyunreIated
-1 because you're a pompous cunt
OlviTheImgurian
Oh Americans, never change.

"Soccer" was British slang, short for "Association Football," so you can take the language-based elitism and bake it into your spotted dick.
Czck
Then call your football some abbreviation on Gridiron. Checkmate
Veit
Our slang conventions differ, and in fact the proper name for the set of rules for that version of gridiron is "American football."

The UK coach is paid 4.6 million dollars a year. The Icelandic coach is a part-time dentist.
LasciviousHedgehog
*England coach. Wales is still in it. Scotland didn't qualify and N-Ireland got knocked out.
TextWampa
Jesus Christ. We're not all illiterate, living in shacks in Mississippi. A lot of us travel and uh, know trifling shit like this.
AStainlessSteelRat
A small subset of europeans have inferiority complexes about the US, so they say things like that. Most are pretty cool and don't shit on us
Mrviewmont72
It's also for children in the US.
PartyParrot
Don't forget women. American women are dominant in soccer.
Mrviewmont72
This is true, women and children first!
mikeandre2537
Oh no no no!!! I'm so dead!!! Iceland just showed England its own way back to loser land. Also the USA should change the name of it's favSpt

TBH I think the whole thing might actually had effected the players mentally with what is going to happen in the future
sprbwlshuffler
That's what I've been saying. The possibly ominous future for the English is effecting their entire society.
TheZade
Maybe we could just swap the names in America and football will be football everywhere and Soccer will be the eggball thing
muddywatersmentalfapsession
As I tell my work friend when he insists upon telling me the latest fruitbol news..."WHO CARES?!"

Luftewaffle
Well, I heard that 18% of their national population was at that game
Luftewaffle

frejathorshammer

331.918 against 11??... That's not fair.
raptorclawhandshake
I never realized how few people Iceland had. My city has three times the number of people.
affendiamant
I think the correct term is "handegg"
ILIKEYOUSIR
I think op was talking about rugby
EdgarAllanPoo
I fucked up
OgdenMorrow
I'm from Iceland and I think it doesn't matter what it's called. As long as it brings people together. Also soccer is an English word.
0fuckingdmg
one of the more cringeworthy internet memes ever
LordPuck
don't know what kind of eggs y'all have been eating. I call it american football when a dinstinction needs to be made. like a normal person.
Subacon
Hand egg? Don't think I've ever found an egg that has the shape of an American football. That would kind of interesting.
AllTheGoodUsernamesAreTaken86
We Americans are too busy leading the world in Olympic Gold medals and Nobel Prizes to care about soccer...
bongebob
Well, if our school system was so focused as yours, you would have a lot more competition
EdgarAllanPoo
Per capita, Norway is leading ;)
Ophelis
And Norway isn't in the EU. COINCIDENCE?
EdgarAllanPoo
We only get the parts from EU where we contribute with money and get a trade agreement in return. It works for us. GL England
RabidHobo
I wonder why. Lol
thebluestthingsonearth
Actually, they are both called football. Because words can have more than one meaning.
ISendDeckPics
So my foot is my hand and my hand is my foot?
kinkySOULdier
The egg is 12 inches long and Canadians use an egg of equal length but wider girth for handegg games... Sorry bud
jopy92
Hah "girth"
thevengefuljuan
The word "round" has more than one meaning. As do "hand" and "foot".
Burritoheart
all sports played on foot and not horseback were called football. Regional variations arose as the games got spread around the world.
LoNeSt4r
What on earth does the population of Iceland have to do with anything?
DonQuixotic
I mean shit there's that many people in Minneapolis (ish)
NoTengoNiIdeaDeLoQueHago
England has over 16,000% the population of Iceland. They really should have trashed them
DanZ51
Americans know what soccer is, we actually did make the semifinals of the Copa América this year. Congrats though, it was a great win.
bongebob
What is this soccer you are talking about?
MrTitsMcGee
It's the game where Messi rapes you without even using lube
DanZ51
And then he quits or something.
DanZ51
It's like futbol, but American.
walterpeck
A term the English used for football. WE LEARNED IT BY WATCHING YOU, DAD
sprbwlshuffler
England becomes the first country to exit Europe twice in one week.
DanZ51
Didn't the Northern Irish already get knocked out? Wasn't it by Wales?
NoTengoNiIdeaDeLoQueHago
But they voted remain so it's not the same
DanZ51
I thought Wales voted leave, right?
NoTengoNiIdeaDeLoQueHago
Yes Wales voted leave but were not knocked out of the Euros. Northern Ireland were knocked out of the Euros but voted remain
UkuleleLeo
Well, at least as a country we have committed to completely leaving Europe.
DeadForTaxReasons
This comment hasn't aged well...
Rekkx
They're leaving the EU not Europe. You can leave a trade zone, but ditching a continent is a rather different matter logistically.
supernormal
Yet the country that's not part of Europe, is doing its best to stay in!
Luftewaffle
It's half on the European tectonic plate, so close enough
FuckTheRepostPolice
Fifty fucking ONE percent of you
GodOfTheBumbleBees
In England it was way more iirc...
squishybaker
in terms of population only 26.77% of people voted to leave.
avidatheist
Actually only something like ~38%. Not everyone that could vote did.
UkuleleLeo
Tell me about it. I was one of the 49%

JeanZedlav
Maybe no one who posted racist statements on twitter should get to vote.
Saintwing
And anyone under 30 is obligated to vote, right? well they're learn now.
PolarHailStorm
I get that you're upset, but that isn't what a democracy is. You can't just do-over because you don't like the result, sadly.

UkuleleLeo
I know it's a bit on the immoral side, but I wouldn't mind an associated IQ test for voting.

PolarHailStorm
Instead, how about politicians that understand the severity of such a vote and act accordingly? He could have put a % gap requirement.
SneakySloth
Yea! Fuck democracy!
