This is not the first time cricketers are showing interest on football. When Portugal played against Croatia a rather elated and excited Chris Gayle put up a video cheering for Christiano Ronaldo for striking the goal during extra time. That’s not it, he even posed a picture outside Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester to show his support for his favorite league team. Just ahead of the Euro 2016, Virat Kohli showed his support for his favorite team Germany when he posed for a picture with the jersey.

Iceland pulled off one of the most astonishing results in the history of European football on Monday, knocking England out of the Euro 2016 finals. Playing at its first major international tournament, Iceland came from behind to win 2-1 in Nice. This victory, without doubt the most important in the country’s history, not only inflicted humiliation on England but also underlined Iceland’s reputation as a growing force in world football.
