Iceland's Viking War Chant - BBC News

Tens of thousands of Icelanders have welcomed back their national football team from France. The players made their way through Rejkyavik in an open-top bus led by drummers to a hill where supporters greeted them with wild cheering and the chant they use to cheer the side.

the man with the drum must have felt like the most powerful man in Iceland.

IT literally chills me down to my spine

They will remember there victory over england for the rest of there lifes.

Its lovely to see how sport can bring people together, for that common goal, lol. I love how the team knew the fans were just as much part of there group as they were.

Lovely scene.

[Pulsonar]

In over 50 years watching sports I’ve never seen such a spine chilling bond this way between a national team and fans. The Icelanders own this 💯 That epic warrior chant and thunderclap is a great show of pride, honour and respect for their national team and cultural heritage🙏🏽

[NeoBoy]

The hooded Blond warrior woman in the thumbnail looks like she consulted the Oracle and summoned the spirit of Odin during the ceremony 😂

the sounds that would've been heard across the battlefield...

I think Iceland is the best example of a country, Proud, kind, and a mix of socialism and capitalism, both helping it be a country that can treat its people right

[robertgreenlaw]

[evonne_]

Got to love War chants but nothing beats the Haka.
