Well, glad the World Cup convo came up in here, may not have known of Iceland's first game in time to watch it otherwise. Draw just now as a fun sweat.

I don't understand how they're doing it.

6 years ago, their FIFA ranking was 131. For context, that's where Andorra is now.

Now they're beating England at the Euros and drawing with Argentina at the World Cup. What the hell happened over there?

But seriously, has there ever been another Icelandic sports team portrayed on film?

Icelands football results over the last years is nothing short of astounding.

They've got a population of about 350K and can't even play football outdoors for a lot of the year.

Also, I can't really think about Iceland and football without remembering how Niman Kenkre (Samoleus) used to claim he had played professionally there. Good times.

Somehow you have forgotten about Mighty Ducks 2.

I always wonder with things like that how they make it out to the public.

For something like that, at the very least a couple dozen people had to at some point along the creation of that contest say "yup, that's a good idea".

I want to know how someone was supposed to claim the prize. Pretty sure you have to carry the baby to term and then get a paternity test. By that point you're on the hook for much more than $47,000 over a long enough timeline.

Now admittedly I am the Second Man occasionally, but that is only when I know something is a bad idea, but the entertainment value of seeing the bad idea executed is way more than the value of being honest and a good guy.

There's a bit of a difference between encouraging a last-call pick-up and green-lighting the movie Sausage Party

I'm noticing a troubling uptick in people doing the "Narrator:" meme wrong, both on Twitter and on 2p2.

I wonder how they manage the free whoppers for life thing? If you get as many as you want I'd be going in everyday and ordering bulk amounts to takeaway and have some sort of situation set up to drop them off at a homeless shelter or something. They probably put some type of stipulation on it that prevents people from doing this though. Bastids
