Iceland is geographically isolated and lacks the population base to compete with women's football's major nations. So what can it do?

England coach Sarina Wiegman said it was "hard to see" the Lionesses taken apart by Spain on Friday as they lost 4-0 in Mallorca to leave them facing the prospect of the playoffs to qualify for next year's World Cup.

Alexia Putellas' brace dented England's bid for direct qualification into next year's Women's World Cup as they slumped to a 4-0 defeat against Spain in Mallorca.
