Keke, Mark & Mark look back at the recent Euro 2020 qualifiers, a 1-0 win over Greece and a 2-1 defeat to Italy, and look  forward to the upcoming games. We TRY to explain what happens now that the 2019 Veikkausliiga has split into two 'series' and we discuss a few Finnish players, who are figuratively (not literally) on fire!

As a supplement to the live recorded Finnish Football Show, Mark W & Mark H meet in person for the first time 😳 and get a guided tour of SJK Seinäjoki's OmaSp Stadion. 

Huge thanks (again) to Lari Paski, Supporters Liaison Officer, for organising the tour at very late notice, and to Tom Dunne for taking time out of the Academy training session to share his memories of the early days of SJK.

Keke, Mark & Mark discuss the 2019 Veikkausliiga season at the halfway stage. We look back at the disgraceful scenes at the end of the Suomen Cup Final. We also hear Keke trying to remember his trip to Liechtenstein to watch the Finnish national team win 2-0, preceded by a fine 2-0 home win over Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Add-in some short news stories and the new, regular features and it's another high-standard Finnish Football Show.

Keke, Mark & Mark look at Finnish players overseas, some reaching for the stars and some heading in the other direction.  We allow Keke to bask in the glory of his Suomen Cup quarter final predictions and look ahead to the semi-finals on 16.5.2019. We then review the first 6-8 rounds of the Veikkausliiga season 2019.

Add-in some news stories about protests, the new, regular features and Mark W's tantalising tease for FFS23, and it all adds up to another high-standard Finnish Football Show.

For family reasons, i.e. his keeps getting bigger, Rich has left the FFS team 😢 so we asked friend-of-the-show, Keke Myllari to take his place.

In the long-delayed episode (yeah we know it’s been 8 months!) Mark, Mark & Keke look back to late-2018 and Finland's successful Nations League campaign. We discuss the 2020 qualifying competition which started last weekend; a 2-0 defeat to Italy and a 2-0 victory over Armenia.

We also cover the 2019 Suomen Cup competition, with the group games in February & March 2019, progressing onto the first knockout round in late-March. Add-in some short news stories and a few new, hopefully regular, features and it's another high-standard Finnish Football Show.

Richh, Mark & Mark look at how the Veikkausliiga season 2018 looks with 33% of games played, and we discuss the June 2018 friendlies for the Finnish national team; a 2-0 defeat to Romania followed by a 2-0 win against Belarus. Add-in some short news stories, Finns Overseas and ramblings about Rich's shirt, and it's another high-standard Finnish Football Show.

Mark, Mark & Rich preview the upcoming Veikkausliiga 2018 season and marvel at the continuing impressive form of the Finnish national team; 0-0 draw with Macedonia and 5-0 win over Malta. The Huuhkajat are now undefeated since June 2017!

We also discuss the past week of Suomen Cup action (Quarter- and Semi-finals) and dive into Academy teams playing in the lower divisions and an interesting closed-season transfer.

As a supplement to the live recorded Finnish Football Show, Mark W speaks to Lari Paski, Supporters Liaison Officer and leader of the Klopit; Seinäjoki FC's supporters group. It was recorded on the coach to watch SJK vs KPV in the Suomen Cup in February 2018 – so there's a little background noise.
