FIFA World Cup 2018 Iceland

Click on the pic for the full match schedule[/caption] Maybe people remember the Iceland epidemic that went around the world when Iceland did very well to begin with in the European cup 2016.  Every bar, restaurant and many other places all around Iceland were broadcasting the matches which was closely followed all around the world. When Iceland won over England, the screaming, the celebrations seems to go on forever so it's easy to imagine the anticipation, the hopes for this World cup. Wherever your rental car will take you on your trip around Iceland, try to join the festivities. Iceland's first match is on the 16th of June at 1pm GMT against Argentina, a match where Iceland is already playing against the odds (as they did in the European cup).

Many towns and villages will have an event around the Iceland match dates like giant screens with the live broadcast, pre & post parties and you are welcome to join the festivities wherever you are.  Keep in mind that "Day after" driving is when many get caught with too much alcohol in their blood. Icelandic law prohibits driving under the influence and fines are very high.

So if you are here in Iceland on the 16th, 22nd and/or the 26th of June, try to be at a place that shows the matches, even if you are not interested in football (soccer) for you will be in for a treat. This event is more rare than the appearance of Halley's comet which can be seen every 74 to 79 years! HUH!!! :) Happy travels!  #GoIceland
