I am from Austria and remember that day very well... It was so embarassing and same time the Faroe Islands became very popular in Austria from that day on ... I really wish I can visit those islands one day... the nature looks fantastic I had a friend in school who had a similar woolen hat like the Faroese goalkeeper and his nickname from that day in Landskrona on was "Knudsen"... People still use this name for him until now
Patrik H - Have you been to the Faroe Isles yet? It is the most beautiful place in the World. I have visited many countries 30+, but the raw nature and simple beauty of the place is mind blowing. I wish I had the financial means, or skills to live there, I'd be happy if I lived a week, and just died. God's true Eden this place
When the result made it all the way to California I couldn't believe it. It was harder to follow soccer in the USA at that time, so it probably took about a week for us to find out the score.
Austria were seen as "DarK Horses" to potentially win the World Cup in Italy a few months before...and it was a neutral venue! Always respected Faroes since then.
Your son is a really good football player, I saw him home and away against Hibs. I hope he gets a trial somewhere as he has a really good first touch. You must be very proud of him.
This match along the 0:9 against Spain some years later are probably Rock-Bottom of Austrias performance in the last 120 years of soccer :] Congratulations to Faroe for this historic match. Well deserved!
Apparently Faroe Islands are represented only in the paralympics (where they have won some medals), However, athletes from Faroe islands compete in the olympics under the Danish flag (Wikipedia)
+Sportstalk Dudes He meant that psychologically they tried to divide the entire match into 5 minute intervals, such as to be able to cope the whole 90 minutes plus...that is when you expect to get a lot of goals against you, so to try to keep away from thinking about those goals you try to focus on what happened the last 5 minutes...and then 5 minutes more... etc.
No Pls Yes it is, but everything is relative (and in Faroe Islands many are relatives :p ) But it's a cold and harsh country. Lots of storms in the winter. But it's fantastically beautiful and very safe for children to grow up in (almost no crime and you can send your kids out to play in the morning, and they'll come home late in the evening. People take care of each other, and usually know someone who knows someone's child or parent. But it's not easy to be able to move there (getting permit etc.) and you have to be able to accept the cultural differences, and as best adapt to the new ones, as there most likely are some/many. For instance, we kill and eat pilot whales. We also have twice as many sheep as people in the islands, so we eat a lot of sheep as well ;) And although we catch a lot of fish in our vast ocean, we export nearly all of it. Fish export is approximately 90+% of our GDP.
They played in the World Cup that same year, this match was not long after that tournament ended. This is why this match is considered so historical and an important part of Faroese sporting history.

One day, Faroe Islands will make the Euros and it will be one of the biggest stories in European Football!
One day they will, Latvia made it, so I believe the Faroes will do it, I'm sure of that.

I highly recommend visiting the Faroe Islands. Been there during summer and it was fantastic

Greetings from Greece, when we were humilated by losing twice from u 🤣
Will never forget This. Saw it live in danish tv. An amazing result.
When the result made it all the way to California I couldn't believe it. It was harder to follow soccer in the USA at that time, so it probably took about a week for us to find out the score.

To me this is the most sensational match in football story.
I visited that stadium in sweden last year.
2OLE The United Way Landskrona IP!
I didn't know about this, i guess it was a very happy day
+Maximiliano Alignani It sure was :)
Are you from Faroe ?
Yes
One of the most embarassing days in the history of Austrian football...
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE FAROESE PLAYERS, THEY ARE LIKE WIZARDS AND CAN MAKE YOUR DAY REALLY UNPLEASANT !!
Your son is a really good football player, I saw him home and away against Hibs. I hope he gets a trial somewhere as he has a really good first touch. You must be very proud of him.
Hibs of malta or Scotland ?
Успехов Фарерам,из России с Урала.
Its hard to get motivated against less favoured teams and shocking to lose in return is a natural result
I think in every country are good football players.
This match along the 0:9 against Spain some years later are probably Rock-Bottom of Austrias performance in the last 120 years of soccer :]
Congratulations to Faroe for this historic match. Well deserved!
And now Greece
MogManDog
And now Greece... again.
Macedon's Shadow it's even worse than your crisis

@@pulsar8013 but now Turkey got beaten😂
Jens Martin Knudsen: absolute legend 🇫🇴

Have the Faroe Islands ever won an Olympic Metal in any sport? Maybe rowing or something?
Apparently Faroe Islands are represented only in the paralympics (where they have won some medals), However, athletes from Faroe islands compete in the olympics under the Danish flag (Wikipedia)
During the last Olympic we had a Faroese man, who was rowing under the Danish flag. Sadly he only got 4th place. So it was almost a medal.
Ye really fantastic!!!
Oh mein Gott, Österreich liegt schon wieder 0:1 zurück 😂
1:07 "Ein Tischler im Dauerstress" :D
Tillykke.
Ham med tophuen lol...Knudsen 🙌
Sjúkt :-)
There was no mercy from Yugoslavia 7-0 in Belgrade
1-0 Torkil Nielsen (62 min)
Same with Greece
What did he mean when he said the thing about 5 minute intervals?
+Sportstalk Dudes He meant that psychologically they tried to divide the entire match into 5 minute intervals, such as to be able to cope the whole 90 minutes plus...that is when you expect to get a lot of goals against you, so to try to keep away from thinking about those goals you try to focus on what happened the last 5 minutes...and then 5 minutes more... etc.
+Martin Andreas Kruse are you from the Faroe Islands?
Sportstalk Dudes Yes ;)
Martin Andreas Kruse is it a great country to live in? i'd love to live there as it seems so beautiful and unique. But the weather seems a bit cold.

KULT VIDEO, SUPER KNUDSEN OLE🤡🙋♂️
Us Greeks were not taking them seriously but they overcame us with luck
Sebastian G Vlogs yeah luck
Good enough luck to beat them twice?
greece are just shit at football always have been so stop making excuses
As a Greek I say that in this qualification phase (Euro 2016) we were tragic and not unlucky...
TheKing1704 Haha what a stupid comment. Greece won euro 2004.
that was the day i stopped watching austrian football
well, 30 years later you could start again. The trainer is shite, but the team is niiiiiiice :)
That's Austria 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
austria does not have a good football team. and in the 1980-2010 they were very bad
MinMiner Still good enough to beat FAROE ISLANDS
Ha
