Supporting the Finland national team has rarely been a comfortable and enjoyable pastime. Last-minute fluked own goals and year-long winless droughts have all helped shape the image of an unlucky and unsuccessful country.We have certainly had some brilliant individual players and the occasional high but they have often been overshadowed by the team’s inability to qualify for a major tournament.
