The Mountain Threatens To Crush Cristiano Ronaldo's Head If He Scores

This is Hafthor Bjornsson. Hafthor is a very big Icelandic man (More like Doublethor, am I right? Sorry, I couldn't resist). He spends most of his time doing this:

However, he is now also world-reknowned for his role as Gregor "The Mountain That Rides" Clegane in the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones."

Hafthor's beloved home country of Iceland defied all the odds to become the smallest populated country to ever qualify for a major tournament, finishing second in their group to make it into Euro 2016. It is a fairy tale story that not even the best HBO script writers could have conjured, and Bjornsson has taken it upon himself to make sure the dream doesn't end as quickly as it began. 

Iceland face a tricky opening fixture against Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal on June 14, and so The Mountain has issued a stern warning to Ronaldo. 

Warning: Game of Thrones SPOILER ALERT (Sort of? Whatever, you should be caught up by now). 

Crikey. Don't test him Ronaldo. This is a man who can do this. 

It may have just been special effects when The Mountain crushed the Red Viper's head in "Game of Thrones," but we think that Bjornsson could legitimately crack a dude's skull like an egg. You've been warned Portugal.
