i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my password. I would love any assistance you can give me

[@bodekolton5961]

@Memphis Blaze Instablaster ;)

[@SkillMasters]

England's coach - 40 milion a year, Iceland's coach - part time dentist

[@Outside85]

Birth of a meme that would last.

[@wolverinefangowings]

And apparently the other option was a guy who shoots reindeer in his spare time. I think Iceland is my new favorite country.

[@orbjorgragnarsdottir3448]

Iceland is a proof you can have success without money

[@alle71]

the guy is actually swedish

[@renegonzalez6306]

The Underdog Iceland! rooting all the way from california

[@SssagaBenches4U]

Yeah, the made it to the quarter finales beating england!

[@ChristopherJamesG]

Yup Yup, They Have been amazing to watch :) defensivly inspiring, From Sacramento California.

[@shahinariannia3156]

Same here. They were my favorite team from the start

[@Jefff72]

They say Iceland has just 330,000 people. They forgot to add 323 million of the US because during Football (I don't like calling it soccer) we are all Icelanders.

[@Jefff72]

People forget that they knocked the Dutch out of qualifying for Euro 2016.

[@taffyducks544]

Btw, I'm so fckn happy Iceland put the arragont English in their place. Well done Iceland and good luck vs France.

[@95Lodgey]

Taffy Ducks I don’t know why you’ve decided we’re arrogant. I have great respect for Iceland.

[@9tails507]

ALAW The English media were talking big like they already won the game. England was arrogant before the game.

[@s5c517]

9 Tails english media attacks our own fans

[@bispybristol]

Think I rather would of went out against Iceland then act like we won the cup having bus parades for getting knocked out in the semi final .

[@9tails507]

KopSince89YNWA Well it’s not like it’s the first Euro tournament of a relative small country and the smallest country of the tournament and they went far. Look at Croatia, team overachieved but lost the final and look what the Croatians did, full parade because that a National team did what absolutely nobody expected them to do and that was overachieve.

[@KateDenthimamai]

I cannot describe how much support Iceland had in Greece, we were trully happy for you. You defeated major football teams against all odds, this reminded us of the Greek football team in Euro 2004. I wish you good luck in the future football games.

[@DS-uy6jw]

Thanks man

[@roaches23]

Aron Johansson is regretting playing for the US right now.

[@sigorsteinn7413]

Would not make our team but still a dirty Judas.

[@jonskeggi6132]

ahahahha

[@Danielisak]

Nah he's not good enough for the Iceland squad.

[@dianatralli4099]

This is why he's playing for a weaker team.

[@TheKaareaksel]

LOL... No... Its not..

[@artjegeraakenes]

1:18 : This is how they eat in Iceland True story

[@rakelbirta7152]

Well i prefer using a fork...

[@BaseballMentorLopez]

omg!!! hahahahahaaha!!!!

[@maryamsprouse2646]

😂😂😂😂

[@helgioskarsson2315]

Hahahah true! It is a challenge but that's what we live for there :)

[@mocthezuma]

If you scare the food first, it becomes easier to digest.

[@k1ll0raffe]

people from iceland always having a great vibe ;) best luck for the team & the country

[@crapcreations8009]

Thanks

[@Krizzto]

Thank you :)

[@siggatinna333]

Thanks

[@YourFriendlyNeighborhood-cn1gt]

I'm just curious...what would fans say to cheer for your team, like how would you say 'Go Iceland' + what is the Icelandian word for cheers? :)

[@EylandHD]

You say Áfram Ísland

[@MrSentia]

The biggest Viking Invasion since the 11th century. *You can print that*!

[@crimnvL]

Cheering on Iceland in the EUROS love underdogs

[@ItsbeenGranted]

yep i have been cheering iceland, northern ireland, and wales

[@GTAPanos]

Oh man I remember when Greece won the Euro 2004, which was a MAJOR underdog, we celebrated all night :) I was little back then but I still remember the happiness in everyone's faces :)

[@baijokull]

Iceland is going to win the final with a score of 2-0 against Wales.

[@theonlyfear8912]

+Xovius Lol no. France 5 - 2 Iceland

[@kiddalingur]

4:04 even that blurry faced kid kinda looked bad ass that slow mo thing

[@katrin896]

"We always think we're the best country in the world and we always think we're the biggest, and that's how it is and that's how it's always gonna be" This is so true! This is so accurate for an Icelandic way of thinking!

[@ArchefluxxMusic]

I was watching England play you guys with some friends and about 20 minutes in the first chant happened. We had the TV loud, and the sound of you guys was so intense that we all went quiet and looked at each other in shock. It's actually intimidating to hear through the TV, I can't image what it's like in a stadium. Well done guys - you have every reason to feel proud. You added a much needed bright side to the tournament after the violent beginning. From a sad England fan.

[@MrNewYorkRangers]

I'm so happy I'm Icelandic

[@Krizzto]

Sama hér! 💙 #StolturÍslendingur!

[@rokkvihrafngunason9021]

Já, já!

[@CosmicCowgirlTarot]

Sammála :)

[@MrGerrardify]

Congrats for the win against England! Now beat France and make history!!

[@mburzzzawa]

CONGRATS my friend! There are two teams I support in this tournament: my national team of Poland and you guys! Go Iceland!

[@armannavidi4373]

Great documentary Vice, gave me goosebumps all the way through

[@aaquib90]

Kinda funny though, everyone talks about Iceland as fairly tale of 2016 but the fact is Iceland has been playing good football for the last 5 years or so. I remember in 2014 when they lost to Croatia in the Play off to the WC 20114 Final I was sad but also knew at the same time that next time fro Euros these guys are going to do some magic has been following them ever since. All the best You Little Vikings :D

[@salvararonkolbrunarson7734]

Ikr, people are saying it's a shock they drew with Portugal yet they beat the Netherlands twice in the qualifiers

[@randomramblings4871]

Well it is a fairytale cause generally, countries don't propel themselves from the bottom to the top flight of world football in the span of just 5 years.

[@torianholt2752]

Well Iceland only has 250,000 people, which is a fraction of a major city in the world for their entire population.

[@Pfromm007]

Wow! WC 20114? Iceland are so good they're already playing against teams from the future!

[@lindsaybjornson1761]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying that because that my friend is why Iceland was able to tie Argentina today in their first ever World Cup! They did not get to the World Cup just because, they are playing in the World Cup because Iceland as a country has invested a lot of time and resources into an amazing football program and now it is paying off. HUH!

[@bjornraymondson1961]

Hail to Iceland. We love you. Greetings from Pagan Ireland.

[@Grandarinn]

Its amasing, the spirit of our team take us further. Lot of goose bumps thees days, im proud to say im from ICELAND. Thank you all for good words. Greetings from Iceland.

[@GNAD79]

I''m 37 and I've been supporting Germany for 30 years. But I swear,this time,I want you to win !

[@lilpinche918]

Dude at the end was so dope. "You can print that!"

[@isbcrv]

I am Brazilian and Iceland is my favorite team after Brazil! Hope to see you in 2018 World Cup!!

[@岡山大木]

Half those Icelanders speak English with perfect English accents. Impressive!

[@OPTIC23100]

Their english is pretty good

[@crapcreations8009]

Yeah right

[@YeOldeGabe]

Every Icelandic person are good at talking English, except for ignorant shitfucks.

[@katrin896]

We start learning English in school as kids so its become our second language :)

[@YeOldeGabe]

+Katrín Lilja +1 I can agree on that. Although I learned most of my English through Cartoon Network and the Americans from Keflavík, had an American stepgrandfather. It's pretty funny how I learned it when I was young.

[@OPTIC23100]

+Katrín Lilja btw i didn't mean offend anyone

[@TheBlueye13]

The vikings just invaded England. Well done! I love your fighting spirit!

[@heseits5157]

(again) Invaded again

[@rrek7]

Signs of Leicester City! Keep at it, Iceland!

[@gettubetur10]

We beat England last night and we're going to the quarter finals!!

[@Nikkimorox1]

So happy Iceland knocked England out. Can you tell im Scottish haha :)

[@DS-uy6jw]

Am English and was supporting Iceland. ICELAND SMITES!

[@MarcLesan]

Kid dabbing at 5:21 is a legend

[@jakkeven]

12:21 YOU CAN PRINT THAT!

[@KenMoss2986]

I wouldn't say I'm a big football fan but I was at Wembley in 1966 and I saw England win the World cup. It's all been downhill since then. When I first saw Iceland play I had nothing but admiration for their guts and determination. It certainly wasn't luck. They earned their place in Euro 2016. Iceland qualified for the Finals by beating the Netherlands twice, Turkey and the Czech Republic losing only 2 matches out of 10. Even with only 16 contenders they would have qualified. They finished 2nd in their group beating Austria. (Not to mention they came back against Portugal). I take my hat off to you guys, (don't tell anyone but I cheered loudly when you beat England) Respect to you. """Duglegur"""

[@ballinboxer3676]

Great video!

[@BoostFutbol]

Totally! Only wish it was longer!

[@MH-ql4nh]

Seriously, it has all the elements of a great movie. If they make one I'll watch it XD

[@earthtaxfree]

i am from Croatia...but...i did not feel so bad after Croatia lost to Portugal as i did for Iceland after they lost to France...you have a proud team and amazing supporters...if the world shared your bondage as a nation we would be much better off as a world...much love from Croatia..

[@krislemoine609]

Beautiful country with incredible people with big hearts. Cheers to Ísland for making it against Argentina! An incredible incredible game!

[@SamuVielma]

You are amazing lads... Greetings from Venezuela/South America.

Hahaha Nice one

[@papasmjordeig]

i hate when kids under 12 do dabs, i hate it!

[@punchabunchabuttons]

My country of Turkey fell victim to them. What was scary was how much confidence they played with. Playing them felt like playing a top team that played top football for decades.

[@Wasen1111]

Massive respect to Iceland from Sweden! You show that playing with your heart can take you extremely far. In Sweden the Iceland-England game had more viewers than any of our own three games. It might be because Sweden has been pure shit in football the last ten years, but I'd rather believe it's because we all love true heroes that over and over again beats all odd with heart, team spirit and skills. Go Iceland!!!!

[@heppolo]

If Iceland had Zlatan they would have really been unstoppable)

[@edwardhumphries205]

Well they have qualified for Russia 2018 today! Apart from the football I thought the scenery is stunning, it’s such a beautiful country. Good luck Iceland. Eddie, Scotland.

[@Vanbelmanik]

I play skyrim and i support Iceland

This video has more views than the population of Iceland.

[@kasimirb5155]

"Be whatever you want to be, unless you can become a Viking - then be a Viking!" Go, Iceland! Go!

[@HunterForsberg]

I am loving the optimism. Iceland have a good squad, too. GO ICELAND! DUGLEGUR!

[@lanacastillo49]

As far as Im concerned, they're already champions even if they place 2nd. What they have accomplished so far is amazing and that is what true winners are made of.

[@blablaforever391]

I literally was crying of happiness when Iceland won. My favourite team after Croatian!!

[@hattorihanzo2275]

I want to tailgate with the Icelandic viking warrior at the end.

As an England fan I was obviously devastated when Iceland knocked us out of the euros in 2016. However, I have great respect for Iceland. A country so small making it to a World Cup. Iceland are my favourite team after England now!

And today i came across this video after they successfully defends against argentina yesterday. What a great team!

[@JJ-te2pi]

And now 1-1 against Argentina in the World Cup. Truely a nation on the rise! Viva Iceland 🇮🇸 from the UK!

[@Bonko78]

The only way forward is through teams like England, Spain, Italy and Germany. But in the words of Shakespeare: _"The fewer men the greater share of honour."_ Go Iceland!

[@Drinko76]

You can cross out two countries from that list, and add France.

[@Bonko78]

Drinko76 Let's just hope that in a few days I can cross out three and do nothing else. Fantastic game today.

[@avery6536]

I've never really had a "favourite international team"... Until I saw Iceland in the euros :') Great job Iceland, in my eyes you deserved to go even further and you outperformed every other team when it came to how much heart you had for it. Wish here in Canada the soccer system was better so we can actually be good as well but you know they don't want to waste a little money... Can't wait to see you guys in the next cup HOO👏

[@evanhutchinson9206]

I really hope we will see them again, in World Cup maybe or so, amazing run
