AM - FIN: 0 - 0
A decade or so ago, being disappointed for a draw in an away qualification game would have been unthinkable. For the most part - San Marino was a pushover back then already.
However, today’s goalless draw in Jerevan, Armenia, for the Euro 2008, was a disappointment. Finns dominated the game, but were unable to score (apart from two that were - rightly - ruled out as offsides), the Armenian goalkeeper had a couple of dream saves, but partly the drought can be blamed on the finnish offense.
But a draw is always better than a loss, and a single point better than zero. Let’s just hope neither of the finnish injuries on the second half (Väyrynen and Johansson) is serious enough to affect the next game in Almaty on wednesday.
