Record numbers of women were due to give birth in Iceland yesterday - exactly nine months on from their country's win over England in the Euros.
Icelandic magazine Visir reported a tweet put out by Asgier Petur Porvaldsson who is a resident in Landspitali Hospital, Reykjavik. He said numbers were up at his hospital's maternity ward.
The doctor tweeted: "hehehe day, set a record in the number of epidurals in the maternity duty this weekend - nine months after the 2-1 win over England."
Monday marked exactly nine months ago to the day since Iceland's football team beat England at Euro 2016 with a 2-1 victory in Nice.
The result led to wild celebrations in Iceland - and we think we now know just how wild they were.
We wish the mothers and their new arrivals Roy, Wayne, Joe etc etc well.
