Blanco 4,917 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 But I’d just like to say it was remiss of me not to congratulate @SmogDane on his local team success. Fair play Sonni mate I’m delighted for you 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They are based in a town that has a population of 5,000, pretty much the whole squad has come from the town and they all work full-time or part time jobs as well as playing football. I'm happy for either team to win, but part of me is wanting the Faroese to go through more than Dundalk. (I have nothing against Dundalk). Added bonus if the Faroese do win, they'll be the first team from the Faroe Islands to qualify for a European competition. Link to post Share on other sites

"Yeah I'm going to need that annual leave rescheduling, I'm off to play Arsenal next week". Apparently they schedule team training to start at 5pm, because all the players are working though the day!

As an example Arsenal's stadium could probably fit the entire population of the Faroe Islands in it, let alone the population of the town KI are based in! Link to post Share on other sites

Tangentially related but I very briefly visited the Faroe Islands on a cruise one year. Very beautiful country, would recommend. From memory, they all had roofs covered in grass. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

They are also pretty handy builders of tunnels I'm lead to believe too. Think all (or most) of the Islands that make up the country are all connected via tunnels that go through mountains and the sea. Weird fact I know, but it's one that's stuck in my head! 😂😂😂 Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,056 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Yeah, while you lot colonized Africa and stuff, we conquered Faroe Islands and Greenland! 😄 It's ofc tongue in cheek 😉 I hope our old Faroe Friends will qualify! (for history reasons, nothing against Dundalk and at least one of these underdogs will qualify) The same goes with Fc Copenhagen .. It could be a marvelous time for Danish football Edited October 1, 2020 by SmogDane Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,056 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 That result in a European game brings back memories of great second half escapes 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites
