Smallest nation to win a European Championship game
The expansion of the European Championship to 24 teams meant that nations who wouldn't have otherwise had an opportunity to qualify did. One of them though, weren't Iceland, as they stormed through their qualifying group, beat Netherlands home and away and took their rightful place in Euro 2016, making them the smallest nation to appear in the tournament, beating the record previously held by Netherlands.
With a population of 330,000, Iceland weren't expected to pull up any trees in the tournament, especially in a group containing Portugal and Austria, one of the tournament's dark horses. Instead they surprised everyone by finishing ahead of Portugal and caused the biggest upset of the tournament by beating England in the Round of 16. In the process, they also became the smallest team to win a European Championship group game and knock-out clash.
While Iceland may qualify for the tournament once again, their record is something that might never be broken.
