[Podcast] Euro 2020 Match Review – Finland 0-1 Russia
This was a game in which the Huuhkajat were looking to cement a place in the knockout stages, and to show the watching world, that the win against Denmark was not just the result of extenuating circumstances. It didn’t quite go to plan…
Mark H, Rich and Keke review the action as Finland had an early goal disallowed for offside, before eventually going down to a goal from Al Miranchuk just before half-time. They also look at Finland’s potential path through the Euros and talk about the FFS team’s busy schedule of media appearances around the world on the mainstream media.
And by the way, Producer Mark was working, not moonlighting for SJK, working!

[Podcast] An Introduction To The World Of Finnish Football
With Finland qualifying for Euro 2020, there has, naturally, been a surge in interest in our Huuhkajat. The Finnish Football Show team has been invited to speak and write on a variety of outlets, around the world, and this made us think; no one really knows much about Finnish football.
We decided it might be a good idea to go back to basics for this episode, by creating a Finnish football 1.0 crib sheet. One place to get all the useful info as we head into the Euros. We have, after all, been at this for several years now. We know stuff.
[Podcast] In Conversation with… Niila Arajuuri
In our episodes of 27.5.2021, Mark W and Keke admitted to getting emotional when they first heard the Finland song for Euro 2020. So we invited Niila Arajuuri ‘the man who made Keke cry’ onto the show to explain himself! This was going to be a segment in a future FFS, but we felt it deserved to be a stand-alone episode.
Mark W flew solo on this one and spoke with Niila about his love of football and music and how music one the battle for his affections. He explains how it feels to have an Eagle Owls for a brother and the process of writing an anthem in Finnish rather than English.

It’s only been 10 days since the last show and much has changed and much remains unclear. Luckily, we are joined on this episode by Ronan Browne from YLE – he’s a proper journalist, so he’s bound to have loads of secret info that mere-podcasters don’t have access to. Right?
Euro 2020 starts in two weeks time, so we’ll look at Mark H’s ticket and travel situation. He’s the only one of the FFS team that’s still planning to travel! As Finland’s Euro 2020 opponents name their squads, we’ll also look at the Huuhkajat training camp ahead of the friendlies against Sweden and Estonia.
