Hospitals in Iceland have reported a huge increase in the number of babies being born, nine months after the country knocked England out of the European Football Championships.

Ridhi Kashyap - Demographer from Oxford University:

"In some senses it can be policy induced.

"In 2006 when Germany hosted the world cup...there was a 30% increase in birthrates in Germany."
