Twitter reacts to Iceland's underdog draw against Portugal
Portugal and Iceland wrapped up the first round of group stage matches in Euro 2016, with the small northern European nation of 330,000 pulling off a 1-1 upset against Cristiano Ronaldo and company to snatch a point in Group F.
While the match was a lopsided affair, Portugal controlling much of the play and creating chance after chance, the well-coached Icelandic defense held firm and made history.

Roughly 10% of the entire population of Iceland was in that stadium supporting their country... Unbelievable.
