Estonian NT will play 4 matches in 11 days. Two home friendlies plus two Baltic Tournament matches in Latvia in between these.

None of the matches take place in FIFA official match days so it will be difficult to get foreign-based players to be available. The motivation seems to be high in our camp though.

Lineup:

----------Londak

Šisov--Bärengrub--Piiroja--Klavan

Kink---Dimitrjev--Anniste---Purje

-------Viikmäe---Saag


Viikmäe already missed an open goal

 

[Andy Christ]

Decent first half, nothing special. Purje had a good chance around half hour mark but Georgian keeper saved well. Georgia has come close couple of times as well. Overall we've been a bit better so far though.

 

[Andy Christ]

Piiroja brought down in the box during a FK and we get a penalty. Kink takes it well and scores his first goal for Estonia.

1-1

Levan Kenia receives a brilliant backheel pass in the box and puts it past Londak.

are they selling real beer in the stadium now?

 

[Andy Christ]

Georgian players looked really confused when they heard that space rock version of their anthem :googly:

 

[Andy Christ]

hehee yes it's true

Before a friendly international match on Tuesday in Prague, the Czech organizers played the national anthem of Latvia and the official program for the match contained Latvia's national flag and a photograph of the Latvian squad.

The final result was Czech Rep 2-0 Latvia Lithuania

this team looks really awful on paper at least...still, they should be able to beat Faeroe at home

 

[Andy Christ]

4-3 was the final result :howler:

We went 3-0 up in the first half with Zahovaiko scoring a double. But Faeroes scored 3 goals inside 7 minutes in the second half as our defense totally crumbled. Eventually Novikov's long-range shot gave us the win.
