Independence from where? Shocking lack of Lnowledge on my part.

I hope Hyypia and Litmanen are on all their bank notes?

Kippis Suomi !

It’s not even about individuality, it’s about the team. Our game was based on his controlling of the tempo. Squeeze the life out of the opposition and then strike. That is our game. Like a pack of pythons.

From Russia in 1917.  I think before that most of what we know of Finland was part of Sweden,  but then Sweden lost it to Russia.
As I've said before, the Full English is just the base upon which the Scots/Welsh/NI have improved upon. Sorry but the Full English is the worst of the British breakfasts.

Please stand for their national anthem, written by Sibelius, I believe.

Happy birthday to all you Finns, especially your brilliant Reds like Sami and Jari.

No luck with that, but Kuningas Litmanen got a stamp 1995.

50+1. Real FFP rules. Now.
