World Cup review: Iceland and Serbia make it to Russia

Another night of action from the European stage of the World Cup qualifiers sees Iceland become the smallest nation ever to make the World Cup finals. Serbia joins them.

With a population of just over 334,000 people, Iceland became the smallest nation ever qualify for the World Cup Finals, after beating Kosovo by two goals to nil in Reykjavik on Monday night, thanks to a goal and an assist from their star man Gylfi Sigurdsson.

The land of Walter Mitty tours, blue lagoons, and Northern Lights topped Group I, leaving the likes of Croatia, Ukraine and Turkey in their wake. And they will be no pushover as their appearance at the 2016 European Championships showed, beating England on their way to a quarter-final elimination at the hands of the French.

Joining the Icelanders will be Serbia.
