Slovakia at Faroes

Looks to me, a bit of rotation mainly in attack though, so solid enough and a goal scorer still playing up front for them.

*recent goal scorer that meant for national side.

Slovaks 1-0 up

1-1 final score, not great from them

Fishermen unbeaten so far

Just had a look at the UEFA U21 qualifying.  Faroes seeded in the same pot as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland!

notice STRELEC was on the bench,at around £7/8 million been pretty horrendous at BORO,be gone in jan window

I doubt there is anywhere else in the world where the locals are more enthusiastic, dedicated and professional about football than The Faroes.

Dunno how many people have read Fever Pitch?  In it he talks about Gus Ceasar, and how growing up he must have been far better than every kid he was playing football with, but ultimately still wasn't able to cut it in the 1st Division.  And he goes on to say how infinitely slim the chances of anyone making it as a pro player are.

In the Faroe Islands you've literally got close to a 5% chance of making it into an underage national squad on birth.  And these 5% compete almost on a par with countries 100 times their size.  It's astonishing imo.

Was watching a Faroes football video on YT and it featured a section on B36 Toftir (one of the lesser teams in the FPL) who had just got to the final of their domestic cup for the first time in years.  They had a 30 man squad. Half of them were Toftir natives, and that was something like half of that age group in the town.

Pound for pound they’re probably the best international side in the world!

2-2 draw in Kazakhstan (who's population is 400 times higher) so 4 draws from 4 games.  Both Kazakh goals scored with a man advantage too.
