FAROE FRIDAY: FAROE FOOTBALL FACES FRANCE FOR FIFA

(Actually, it's the UEFA Cup, but that doesn't start with "F")

France's national team will play the Faroe Islands in Torshavn this weekend in a crucial game in the 2008 Euro cup series. It's actually not all that crucial for the Faroe Islands. They've lost every game and won't be moving on.

But it's crucial for France, they're one of the top ranked teams in Europe, but they're in trouble. The Frenchies lost to Scotland, and the plucky Faroese could knock France out of the competition.

Will that happen? It's a long shot. But I'm lighting candles in front of a shrine that includes a stuffed puffin to help out.

Good luck, boys!

UPDATE: They were clobbered. France scored six goals. Faroe Islands: nothing.
