Bookshelf: Against the Elements (Chapter 13)

 

 

         





Against the Elements: The Eruption of Icelandic Football (Matt McGinn)

Chapter 13: Iceland v Croatia

McGinn travels to Vestmannaeyjar, an archipelago off the southwest coast of Iceland. 

He notes the islands' disproportionate development of Icelandic's top players and profiles a few survivors of a 1973 volcano eruption before watching the Iceland men's team's 2-1 loss to Croatia in the group stage of the 2018 World Cup.
