Iceland will struggle to be able to play the knock off stage but I don't think they will succeed.

I think they are lucky to have some footballers playing in the Championship, the 2nd tier of the football pyramid in England. I think so because the intensity and the style of football they play is connected to the 2nd division of English football in some way. This is not a disadvantage btw because I think the Championship is a bit more difficult than the Premiership. There's no top 4 or even top 6 as in the EPL. All powers are equal. It's more challenging and that's why the opposing teams suffer against them.

Talking of Iceland we should definitely mention that the country uses Geothermal energy to generate its electricity. And that's a very clean form of energy. Almost zero air pollution.
