Fjölmargir fengu að heyra þjóðsöng Íslands, Lofsöng eftir Matthías Jochumsson við lag Sveinbjörns Sveinbjörnssonar, í fyrsta skipti er sálmurinn var spilaður fyrir landsleik Íslands og Portúgal í kvöld á Evrópumótinu í knattspyrnu.
Sálmurinn virðist hafa fallið vel í kramið hjá sjónvarpsháhorfendum og þeim er hlýddu en viðbrögð þeirra á Twitter má sjá hér að neðan.

Iceland's national anthem sounds like it should be scoring a blockbuster Viking trilogy. I feel like I'm sailing down a fjord.
