Euro 2016: Icelandic commentator Gudmundur Benediktsson loses it as tiny island nation knock England out
Fan favourite was back on the mic in Nice and couldn't contain his glee at Three Lions' misery
GUDMUNDUR BENEDIKTSSON may not be a household name - but his glorious commentary of the Iceland team's remarkable run in Euro 2016 has fast become a global hit.
The high-pitched shrieks of the excitable commentator were back in full swing last night as England were dumped out of the tournament by the smallest nation in the competition.
As the final whistle blew in Nice, Benediktsson exploded into a barely intelligible rant, proudly telling the Three Lions their time was up.
He cried: "This is done! This is done! We are never going home!
"Did you see that! Did you see that! Never wake me from this amazing dream!"
His voice cracked again before he seemed to regain composure as boos rained down from the England fans.
He continued: "Boo as you like England! Iceland is going to play France on Sunday.
"France Iceland! You can go home. You can go out of Europe.
"You can go wherever the hell you want. England 1 Iceland 2 is the closing score here in Nice. And the fairytale continues.”
