Faroe Play

Luxembourg's sensational 2-1 win in Switzerland last night made me remember the day that the Faroe Islands entered international football. Their first match was against an Austrian side who had qualified for the 1990 World Cup.

Turn up your sound and listen to the commentary on this:


The Faroese goalkeeper Jens Knudsen earned a lot of the post game headlines due to the white bobblehat he sported during matches. He won 65 caps for the Faroe Islands playing his last game for them in 2006, he also starred in goal for the Faroese handball side though it being an indoor sport his bobblehat probably wasn't required.
