Iceland’s Win over Netherlands Makes International Headlines

This is the first time in Iceland’s history that the national team in men’s football wins three matches in a row in the qualifiers for a major tournament.

Iceland’s 2:0 win over the Netherlands in the Euro 2016 Qualifiers in Reykjavík last night has garnered significant attention in the international media. The result has been described by the press as a “fiasco” and “humiliating” for the Netherlands, Iceland Review reports.

This is the first time in Iceland’s history that the national team in men’s football wins three matches in a row in the qualifiers for a major tournament. Iceland beat Turkey 3-0 in a home game last month and Latvia in an away game on Friday.
