National Teams in Action: Huuhkajat Friendlies, Helmarit WC Qualifiers & U21 Friendlies. Plus Veikkausliiga Update.

Mark W and Keke finally return to action (sorry for going MIA!) to look back at the recent friendlies for the Finland men’s national team, as the Huuhkajat played – and lost – away to Germany and Hungary. The women’s national team, the Helmarit, had a much more succesful summer, two wins to take second place in their World Cup qualifying group. Finland’s U21s, the Pikkuhuuhkajat, also played two friendlies and also got two away wins, dominating their Nordic brethren and beating Sweden and Norway 💪🏼

Mark also sheds a little light on some of his other recent multimedia activities: interviewing SJK head coach Jarkko Wiss and fooling around with a couple of YouTubers, making a video for SJK & Veikkaus. And there’s still time for a one-off episode of the FFS Book Club – read/watch/listen on for details.
