What happened? I saw that Iceland won 3-2. Was it controversial?

We (ICE) equalized on the 89th, 4min added time and scored a rather dubious goal on the 95th minute. Header/shoulder/upper arm that FIN goalkeeper sort of grabbed but another ICE player managed to toetip it just over the line.

I can't understand how the ref didn't see the ball under that hand

Oh man... yeah, I can see why Finnish fans would be upset about that. It's a bit like Arsenal's last minute goal against Burnley at the weekend.

What happened to Norway? I remember they had a fairly decent international side in the late 90s.

Lost 1-0 to Azerbaijan today.

So Bosnia should've been our most difficult opponent.
Sent them home 4-0.

Still it's only Bosnia. They didn't exist a decade ago.

They had success in the 90s with a 19th century defensive playing style that would make Tony Pulis look like Marcelo Bielsa.

That playing style works for a short time but you can't play that way and continue to have success. Greece is another example.

Actually they don't exist - even now, scmuck!

until 1992 the people of bosnia were part of the Yugoslavia team since then they became part of the Bosnia and Hercegovinia team. There is still no Bosnian team.

I've been there ****.

Can't believe you like Spurs more than your country.

What about the British soldiers who died while serving your country?
