A 2-0 victory over Kosovo was enough for the nation of some 335,000 people to reach the 2018 finals in Russia, setting a new record in the process
Iceland have secured a spot at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, becoming the smallest nation by population to ever qualify for the showpiece event.
Gylfi Sigurdsson and Johann Berg Gudmundsson scored as Iceland earned a 2-0 victory against Kosovo on Monday, giving the team a record of seven wins, one draw and two defeats — two points clear of Croatia for the top spot in Group I of UEFA World Cup qualifying.
With some 335,000 residents, Iceland easily bested Trinidad & Tobago’s population of 1.3 million in 2006 to become the smallest nation to secure passage to the World Cup finals.

Olodo

330,000 population? I bet there are atleast 10,000 Nigerians in that country.

Kosovo that isn't still recognized by Spain and a host of other countries. Spain's reason being that it would indirectly be supporting secession while they have Catalonia to deal with at home. If Kosovo eventually qualifies I wonder if they'll play their World Cup matches behind closed doors.

Well congrats to Iceland, but let's see if they make it anywhere in the competition

Correct.

good for them

Their players ate like Bricklayers and Rugby players....lol them go like jam body
