Against the Elements

The Eruption of Icelandic Football

Beschreibung

With a population of just 350,000, Iceland stunned the world when it went toe-to-toe with the elite at Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup. So how was such a tiny nation able to take on the giants of world football? Part travelogue, part thematic investigation, Against the Elements searches for the reason for Iceland's remarkable, unprecedented rise.
