They just showed a Portugal fan who looked like he wanted to cry because of the save, bit early for tears I think.

No wonder they're so widely panned.

Their fans seem as petulant as their players.

Definitely. I can't wait to see what happens if Iceland manage to score.

Me too, I'd love that to happen, but it doesn't seem likely.

He is specifically mentioned in this rather interesting Wikipedia article on Icelandic names (I was curious as to why their surnames ended in son) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_name

That's more like it, Nani.
That is a lovely goal, four one-touch passes and a sharp finish completely sliced through Iceland.
