After Iceland’s huge landslide 1-1 victory against Portugal and a historic, hard-fought 2-0 draw with themselves against Hungary, next on the smiting list are the yodelling hill-folk of Austria.
Opposition research has commenced.
Wow, official languages of #AUT are German, Hungarian, Austrian German & Slovenian. We will teach them the language of CRUSHING DEFEAT. #ISL

A vision!
Awoke this morning from a powerful vision: an #AUT yodel turning into a scream beneath a rain of flaming footballs. #ISLAUT #EURO2016 #ISL

Omens update: they could be interpreted either way, but they are powerful.
Loud rumbles beneath the Stade De France. Something moves beneath Paris. Whispers of a huge #ISL Wyrm swimming deep in the earth. #Euro2016

A strange, sulphurous steam rises from the pitch of the Stade De France, enveloping the region in a grey and baleful murk. #ISLAUT #Euro2016

The land is coming to life.
I mean, this #Hekla rumbling isn't like she's THREATENING to erupt if #ISL don't go through. She's, you know… just sayin'. #WeOutHere #AUT

Even the ogres are marshalling.
Rumours that the #AUT team coach was beset by a family of trolls have been reported false. It was frost ogres. #ISL #ISLHUN #Euro2016

People have been speculating on a formation change.

The Iceland fans’ chant has been leaving viewers “terrified,” says The Independent newspaper.

Will #ICELANDSMITES trend on match day?
What do you think the chances are of us getting #ICELANDSMITES to trend during #ISLAUT? #ISL #Euro2016

Our post-game drink, no matter what the result: #RonaldoTears.
@rvkgrapevine I'm off to Iceland in December; just wondering if you'll have this on draught by then? Thanks. pic.twitter.com/MvDoT91WlR
