In reply to Michelle.

Good one, although statistically speaking, you’d always get to 23, if you had to eliminate from the list all those who don’t play in the national team.

A good statistic would be aomparison between how many play professional football in Iceland and in England.

350,000 is roughly the population of the city of Catania and HALF of the population of Palermo.

In reply to Ghoxrin Punt. To be honest I blame more the successive governments which used the EU as a scapegoat for unpopular decisions, making Farage appear to be almost reasonable, just an English gent who says what he means.

In reply to Josette. Don't blame the EU if the English voted him in. Blame the English.

And unfortunately the European Parliament gave him a stage and a very good income. He never actually made it in national politics. Without the European Parliament he would probably have become irrelevant a long time ago and we would have been all spared his bile.

And have to say, like UK, Iceland are not EU members and are a success story in all senses.
