As we’re all well aware by now, the Welsh are a passionate bunch.

Knowing that, perhaps it’s no surprise to see them celebrating the most embarrassing moment in English football with such enthusiasm.

Having qualified ahead of England from their group, Wales have since booked their spot in the quarter finals of Euro 2016 with a 1-0 win over Northern Ireland on Saturday. And despite being on the opposite half of the draw to their neighbours, they were keeping a keen eye on proceedings in Nice.

Footage from within the Welsh hotel shows the joyous scenes as the full-time whistle is blown, confirming an historic win for Iceland and a night that will go down as one of the worst in English footballing history.

Just look what it means to them…
