Iceland's soccer heroes hailed a historic day for the small Nordic nation after they stunned England at Euro 2016 on Monday to take the last quarterfinal place.
"It's the biggest achievement in Icelandic sport history, without a doubt," said Jon Dadi Bodvarsson.
In their debut appearance at a major tournament, Iceland can now look forward to a fairytale showdown with Didier Deschamps' France at Stade de France on Sunday.
