Who would have thought, Iceland which was in a group with Portugal, Austria, and Hungary in the Euro 2016 event was able to steal the attention. Many spectators considered the country as only a complementary contestant.

However, Iceland was able to escape the bondage of its opponents before having a match with the England national team. Everyone must have guessed that England would easily overturn the “unknown” team.

And guess what happened? Iceland also escaped it by overthrowing the three lions. Although in the end, Iceland lost to the home team, the struggle of Iceland really deserved a thumbs up.

After successfully qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, this team still even manage to give a little surprise.

  1. AS Monaco

In the middle of Paris Saint Germain’s empowerment, AS Monaco was able to come out as a champion. Defeating several more-established teams, Monaco also managed to qualify for the semi-finals of the European Champions League.
