Can someone explain to me why it's GER vs. SVK and not GER vs. POR in the next round?
(Not that I want to complain but I don't understand the methodology).

No clue. I never bothered to check how they determine which 3rd place team plays against which other 1st or 2nd placed team. Honestly it's just a big mess.

Is that Rol's real name? Rol = Roland? :o

Yep. Written proof (see rankings list): http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=25478 (I miss TWRoO).

He's like the Austrian commentator when Austria beat Germany at the World Cup in 1978.

It's a win that means a lot for Iceland. First win at a tournament and it sealed the advance to the round of 16.

They are going to play against England right? I think they have a decent chance to beat them.

It's hard to find another sport that generates as much passion as soccer.

Wow Iceland made it through, for no reason I've been rooting for them to go through since the beginning but that maybe a British thing as we're bias toward underdogs, glad they made it and as funny as that commentary it's also a moment that highlights the passion from supporters behind teams.

That commentary is up there with the Norwegian commentator from decades ago when they snatched a win against England, even though we were on the receiving end of that it was hard to be upset at the commentator on the Norwegian side of things due to the reaction.

The irony is that England face Iceland now which will have other teams in our group cursing like hell.

At the moment Belgium and Ireland will advance. Great for Ireland.
