Iceland World Cup Update: Iceland eliminated with 2-1 loss to Croatia

If any of you folks were annoyed by the updates on how Iceland has been faring in the 2018 World Cup. . .well, I’ve got some good news for you.

Needing both a victory over Croatia and an Argentina victory over Nigeria in Tuesday’s play, the odds of Iceland advancing to the knockout round were pretty long. Argentina did their part, as they defeated Nigeria by a final score of 2-1. However, Iceland could not hold up their end of the bargain, falling to Croatia by the same 2-1 score and putting an end to their World Cup aspirations.
