REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Pop singer Helgi Bjornsson, who is well-known in his native Iceland for a 1980s hit titled "I Do Like the Rain," recently appeared on national television while a deadpan reporter challenged him to defend the song's premise.
The people of Reykjavik do not like the rain anymore. This summer has been so gray and wet in the capital of Iceland that meteorologists have to look as far back as 1914 to find records for a worse May and June.
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — To prepare for his job of keeping Lionel Messi quiet in Iceland's opening game of the World Cup, defender Birkir Saevarsson worked as a salt-packer at a warehouse in an industrial zone of Reykjavik, the Icelandic capital. Not because the 33-year-old seasoned football pro needs the money, but because the monotony of factory work, the graft, the need to cover his neat hair with an unsightly net all helped keep him real.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Iceland's ruling Independence Party took the largest share of the vote in the island nation's parliamentary election but faces difficult negotiations to form a new government after populist candidates showed unexpected strength.
A record eight parties won seats in Saturday's vote as the 2008 global financial crisis continues to roil the island's politics.
Leading the march of the unheralded teams at the 2016 European Championship, Iceland provided a warm, feel-good story that few believed would last beyond those four glorious weeks in France.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — There was no Pirate takeover, but the upstart party managed to make waves in Iceland.
The country's party leaders were beginning meetings Sunday with Iceland's president to hammer out who will form the next government, after an election that produced big gains for the radical Pirates but gave the largest bloc of seats to the center-right Independence Party.
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — Iceland looked likely to steer away from a Pirate takeover Sunday, as voters favored the incumbent Independence Party over the upstart band of buccaneers advocating direct democracy and Internet freedom.
With roughly half of votes counted from Saturday's election, the Independence Party had about 30 percent of ballots and the Pirate Party about 14 percent, putting them in third place behind the Left-Green movement.
Iceland is showing that its run to the European Championship quarterfinals was no fluke.
