“Risk”, games that Icelanders play whilst England is actually conquering the world 🌍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Iceland also won 3 "wars" against the uk. The cod wars.

Basically Iceland wanted to get British fishers out of their waters, Britain said no, and Iceland said "fine, I'll leave nato". Which got the US to go "Britain, give them what they want." because it's the cold war and Iceland is in a strategically important position.

Repeat 3 times

Iceland being in NATO is the same principle behind how McDonald's is really a real estate company that sells burgers: location, location, location.

For 300 blokes on a mossy volcano, Ísland has a lot going for it...

[Shfeilds]

5 minutes later they are gonna start debating about fish

[Theaphilius_Mythology_Channel]

The Icelandic government accused Iceland Foods of engaging in abusive behaviour by trademarking the name of the country, and of "harass[ing] Icelandic companies and even the Icelandic tourism board" by pursuing legal action against Icelandic companies which use the name of their country in their trading names.

I'll never forget how much I was laughing when i found out Iceland beat England twice

[BeingJenniRae]

I am having flashbacks to the Netflix comedy special "Pardon my Icelandic" by Ari Eldjárn where I first heard about some of these things. He talks about the British teams chanting at the Icelandic team, "You're just a shit shop in London! Oy, oy, oy!" I would love to see a collaboration between you and Ari! Both spreading knowledge of the north in hilarious ways. 😆

Denmark on the sidelines, bit drunk. "Well you both just think you're great dont you!"

[DesperatelyDanish]

A collab with Conrad Molden? 1. Brilliant! 2. Denmark will be made fun of RELENTLESSLY after England

[agnidas]

British guy in the tea-dyed khakis - how apt :D

[mikebaker]

I noticed the Brit conveniently didn't bring up the Cod Wars when talking about NATO.

[Teddyngham]

Iceland and Faroe Islands are both the best teams in the Greenland Cup. ;)

Iceland went out of business in Norway recently. I feel like there’s content for you somewhere in there.

[stephensmith]

Fun fact about soccer, it's called that in Canada, Australia, Japan, and South Africa(kinda, different spelling). Almost all former British territories, because they used to call it that too until they didn't.... except Japan. Japan was on us.

[oprophetisfake]

Olaf is now getting seriously confused about which Nordic country he is really from. 😮

[Fredrik-ineg]

Remember the Cod war that Iceland won 3 times

[Silverbirchleaf]

Blew my mind when I saw an Iceland shop in Reykjavik 😅

[SunbathinginAntarctica]

The supermarket chain was prob like "Oi, you don't have a loicense to call yerselves oiceland!"

[JunoWallen]

I actually happend to be in Reykjavik when Iceland beat the UK in 2016. It felt like the entire population of Iceland was celebrating on the streets.
