REYKJAVIK (Reuters) - The Icelandic capital is facing another shutdown on Monday as the tiny North Atlantic nation's Euro 2016 saga unfolds with a knockout tie against England in Nice.

A late winner over Austria handed Iceland second spot in Group F behind Hungary and qualification for the last 16, sending the Austrians home, with Portugal also going through as one of the four best third-placed teams.
