Fans in Iceland stole the show in recent weeks as they displayed great unity with the team, and made famous their 'thunderclap' celebration.
The impressive sight featured in Iceland's win over England, as well as their defeat to France, where thousands of fans stood and clapped in unison, lead by the players on the field.
As the hosts of Euro 2016 booked their place in the final on Thursday night, they decided to take a leaf out of Iceland's book and perform the celebration in front of their own supporters at the Stade Vélodrome.

The reaction to the blatant thievery of Iceand's celebration was somewhat mixed, with many on Twitter pointing out that they were just copying the routine that had made the small nation one of the stories of the tournament.
C'mon France, hey guys...you can't go stealing Iceland's thunderclap. #GERFRA
