A historical night for The Faroe Islands! They hammered Montenegro 4-0 tonight in Tórshavn! and what a night of firsts it was. ■ It was their biggest ever result in World Cup qualifying history. ■ First time they have ever scored 4 goals in a competitive fixutre. ■ First time they have won back to back competitive games since 2020 (Nations League) and 1997 (World Cup qualifying) ■ First time beating a country ranked 50 places above them. Goalscorer tonight, Árni Frederiksberg, used work as a frozen pizza salesman during his semi-pro football career. Tonight will go down in Faroese football history. A fantastic result and statement. Winning 3 and losing 3 in the group stages so far, Faroe Islands sit 3rd, 4 points off top. They know they are extremely unlikely to go to the World Cup, but with games against Czechia (2nd) and Croatia (1st) to come, just imagine if they win both.
In front of just 2034 no doubt ecstatic fans. I wonder how many will claim "I was there when..." for years to come?
