Iceland Vs. Austria: The View From A Reykjavík Living Room

For the epic occasion of Iceland Vs. Austria at Euro 2016, we asked regular Grapevine illustrator Lóa (and the fastest pencil in the west… of Iceland) to quickdraw some match commentary for our Instagram.

She, of course, did us proud. Combined for you below is Lóa’s view of the nail-biting game, as seen from her family’s living room.

My family right about now! #em #emísland #rvkgrapevine

Much to the frustration of Austria’s manager.

Distraction tactics.

My kid trying to get my attention with a comic book. He's afraid I've gone over to the dark-side. #em #emísland #rvkgrapevine #livefeed
