IN THIS EPISODE...

Mark W and Keke with a hastily arranged episode, recorded the day after new Huuhkajat head coach, Jacob Friis, names his first squad. They look for any surprising selections, discuss the positives of continuity and consider the significance of the U21's selecting a strong squad for the Euros in June.

They then preview Finland's first two World Cup qualifiers away to Malta and Lithuania, and Keke gets ready for his trip to Ta' Qali (or the National Stadium). Listen out for an update on the FFS schedule for 2025, as Mark tries not to admit he has too many pods on the go!

Plus, news on the proposed schedule for FFS (and SJK Supporters Pod) in 2025.
