I went to Uni with a girl called Bronwen from Swansea. She did he very best to **** the English. Some of us several times......
No the current squad were all born on the Faroes Islands. They are only ranked 141st in the world though. The population is around the same size as some of the Caribbean around that level.
Still the results they have had are impressive in fact for a 50K population bloody good. I was thinking along the lines of Cape Verde,s recruiting
He's covering quite a few years with those results though The Austria games was in Sweden in the 90s. Agree they've had some big scalps for their size though.
All of the players in this Faroese squad are home grown and were born in the Faroe Islands. There's only been two players that played for us recently born outside the islands and that's Stefan Radosavljevic (born in Belgrade) and Geza David Turi (currently at Grimsby Town, born in Hungary and followed his dad Geza Turi to the Faroes to play for Vikingur Gota. His Dad is still registered for KI Klaksvik and he made a first team appearance a couple of years ago at the age of 49 and breaking a world record and probably several bones in the process). The Faroe Islands has a population of about 54,000 and has around 5,000 registered players. At one point, 60% of the entire population played football at some level, which outside of Gibraltar is probably the highest proportion of footballers to citizens ratio of any nation in the world. Anyway, we're probably going to get pasted by Croatia later but we'll give it a good go.
I wouldn't like to stereotype, but I was at Uni at the time that that Welsh TV comedy monologue guy, Siadwel, was popular. Our Welsh girl, Sharon, who was very generous with her affections therefore gained the nickname Shagwell which started in the first term and stayed with her the full four years. Poor lass.
Siadwel, easy mistake to make with their language. He spoke how I imagine some on here do. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I only knew because I looked for him a few months ago on YouTube. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Just an observation on England tomorrow night...I don't have a problem with Ann, but Dora can be a bit of a handful.
I always wondered, in a game where the gulf in quality is so great, if the FA couldn’t team up with a registered charity like MIND or Cancer Research and offer a raffle whereby lads under 40 pay a tenner entry and the winner is guaranteed 45 minutes of England football.
They would make millions though and even though there would be cries of “it’s bring in g the game into disrepute”, it would be funny as **** and raise money for a good cause. See if I was England manager, I’d always make one or two picks from non-league for that type of fixture, give some lads a chance to fulfil a dream that might never get that shot. Benson and Hedges style from Mike Bassett (though I think they played for somebody like Plymouth or Torquay). A few years back Denmark’s players entered a dispute with the union and the entire first team had to be stepped down, so the manager had to call up an entire squad of 4th and 5th division players, entirely semi pro, along with some Futsal players for a qualifying match against Slovakia. They all counted as official caps though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Slovakia_v_Denmark_football_match
Tommy Tickle already been on saying it will be hard to break down Andorra and not to get expectations too high. Last thing we need is to not take it seriously and start giving raffle prize winners a a game.
