Iceland are the smallest country at the tournament with a population of just 332,000, the size of a city such as Leicester whose club won the English Premier League title this season.
England boasts more than five times as many football players as their opponents' population. But the Icelanders finished second in Group F after 1-1 draws with Portugal and Hungary and a 2-1 win over Austria. They are talking tough.
Iceland have scored more goals in the tournament than England -- four compared to three. The winner will take on hosts France in the quarter-finals.
