As you may or may not know, Iceland is playing some unprecedented football in the EuroCup right around now. They tied with Portugal and Hungary in their first two games, and then beat Austria in the most recent one.
On Monday, they meet England.
In light of this, the advertising agency PIPAR/TBWA is having a bit of a good-natured sparring match with its sister agency in London. It started with this:
Hey, @TBWALONDON Get ready for Monday! #ISL #ENG #EURO2016 pic.twitter.com/92hvUTTabi

To which the London agency responded with this:
Sorry @PIPARTBWA. We're a little distracted at the moment – but let us correct that awful paint job for you pic.twitter.com/YKp4k0iiKz

… And which was quickly rebuffed by the Reykjavík office:
Hey, @TBWALONDON! Buckingham Palace, Tuesday Morning. #EURO2016 #EMlsland #EMlsl pic.twitter.com/PO1Fn5BqFl

Hehehehe. We approve. (The royal “we” of course).
Nice one! We are looking forward to Monday. If England play rubbish and Iceland win, I will be very happy as we won’t have deserved it and you will. I can’t think of a team I would rather beat England than Iceland (obviously we aren’t going to lose though!!)
Perhaps tens of billions of pounds evaporating will distract England for a bit.
