Iceland (population
330.000) reached the quarter finals in the European Football (Soccer) Championships,
at present ongoing in France, after making draws against Portugal and Hungary
and beating Austria… and England! Their
quarter final against France was played Sunday evening, July 3 ... and finally lost (5-2 to France).
Awaiting
the match, a large part of the Icelandic population could be found in front of
a bar, close to Moulin Rouge.
A lot of
good optimistic mood!
The street
had to be closed. The crowd was very kindly surveyed by representatives of the
Icelandic police force, “Lögreglan”. For the comfort of the beer drinkers, some
temporary conveniences had been installed.

M.Peter,
You captured the true spirit of the underdog in your photos. Even though they lost to France the highlight was winning their match over Britain. They can all return home with their heads held high!
Beautiful, civilized, full of joy people!
Lucky France! When was the last time we saw an "invasion" so promising?
What a cute post!
Divinas fotos como de costumbre, M. Peter.
Mil gracias
Maria
