UEFA Euro 2024 Qualifiers, Group H, Games 9 & 10
A positive end to the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign for the Huuhkajat. A ‘dictionary definition dead-rubber’ vs Northern Ireland, was transformed into a thumping 4-0 win around halftime. And even though a 2-1 vistory in San Marino is a little too close for comfort, Finland secured two more wins and six more points.
Mark W, Ally and Rich reviewed both games, while Keke shared his experiences of an awayday to the microstate and helping San Marino celebrate their third consecutive goal. They discussed Finland’s potential route to the Euros via the Nations League playoffs, with an away game vs Wales and a possible home game vs Poland or Estonia. They end the show looking forward to the final two Nations League fixtures for the Helmarit, against Romania and Slovakia, and consider the prosepct of maximum points with zero goals conceded.
