There’s a silver lining for the
England team following their
loss to Iceland in the Euro 2016.
Icelandic holiday firm North
Sailing last week preempted
England’s loss, offering the
players a free day tour in
Husavik “as a bandage for
wounded pride, after the loss
against Iceland”.
Posing with 23 free tickets
for the squad dated for today,
manager Gudbjartur Jonsson
said his offer was “only polite
and a part of the Icelandic
hospitality culture.
“The poor English players will
anyways not be able to return
immediately to England after
the match on Mon, as 60 million
English football fans will be
furious when losing to a small
island state with only 300,000
inhabitants,” he continued.
“Therefore we offer a peaceful
day with whale-watching in a
small town in Northern Iceland
with beautiful nature and nice
people. That should be the
perfect compensation.”
The company went one step
further today, offering all
English supporters a free whale
watching trip tomorrow.
