WHAT THEEEE FUUUUUUCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JUSTICE!!! LUKASSSSSS!

Thought it’d be hard to care anymore but damn I shouted loud there.

Players were asked what to do. Still amazing. He has to be really well for players to agree to that.

Beautiful

No way in hell any of the players will agree to step back in the pitch.

Photographer said he saw him putting a hand on his head when they were walking him out. And moving his eyes.

Finnish studio was just ”we cant say anything right now” followed by weeping. Jesus christ why do they put them into that position, just cut to some highlights from another game or something.

Pull through man please

Phew. Pretty fucking emotional day. I've been on constant goosebumbs and some tears from the moment I woke up today. Just going through all the videos, highlights and songs for the 100th time. I've been going to our games from a young kid with my dad and thought for years this day wouldn't come during his lifetime or mine. So many years of shit, some years of almosts and a loooot of hurt. Our football team has been like a laughing stock in Finland for years and always compared to icehockey and how well they're doing. Now finally it's our time to be the center of attention and national pride. I can say without any doubt that the day we qualified was the best day of my life so far. I dont think today or the matches next week when I'll be at the stadium will quite match that but it'll be damn close. OI SUOMI ON!

Feels weird that the day is actually here after all this wait since the qualification https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzsCRY08eZI IM NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!

Good man!

Nah, not really.

Hi, nice to be here for the first time.

Woohooo our own section! Just saw that my tickets now show seat info so pretty confident about my two games in St Petersburg

This is painful. Updating the ticket site all the time for updates. Still seem to have my tickets for Finland matches vs Belgium & Russia. Should know for sure next Monday.

What are you on about? Every one of those teams was going to stay in their national leagues.

Ashley is on the phone asking if there’s room for Newcastle now.
