Sorry, I don't follow soccer. Were they one of the favorites to win the Euro?
In the FIFA rankings as of the beginning of the tournament, England was #11 in the world and Iceland was #34.
USA ranked #31.

I also saw on twitter that Iceland's coach is a part-time dentist & England's coach makes $4.6 million a year.
England has 159 times as many people as Iceland.
326,000 vs 54 million
