Once a footballing backwater, the Icelandic national team has enjoyed unprecedented success in recent years. Iceland enthralled viewers all over Europe at the EURO 2016, and will now step on the grandest sporting stage of them all, the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The team will look to defy the odds yet again and prove that the success is no fluke.

Instead of relying on a star player, the Icelandic team is greater than a sum of its parts.
