When you walk through most of your competition and don’t concede a single goal against, you are probably doing something right.
FINLAND u20
Despite their loss to Germany and an overall dreadful performance throughout the round-robin, the Finns remain a threat because of their potential.

Instead of being tactical and more than the sum of their parts, they have been messy and disjointed, with no one player finding a way to assert themselves.
