It is exactly one year since the first English language weekly newspaper in Finland began publication. To celebrate there are a lot of extra features, including this article on Turku’s football boom. If you haven’t seen the paper yet, I recommend buying a copy this week. Here’s the article:

FC Haka have been denied a licence to play in the 2008-09 UEFA Cup. Apparently this is for financial reasons, and TPS have been ‘promoted’ from the Intertoto to fill their place. The full list of Finnish entrants now reads:
Champions League: Tampere United
UEFA Cup: Honka, TPS, Jaro (if they win the Fair Play ballot)
Intertoto: [...]

I was hoping for Juha to post some of his angst, pain and suffering, but it seems grief is a private affair. The Tepsi fans were not impressed with their side, turning their backs on the pitch and their banners upside down, while all the Inter fans in the stadium pissed themselves laughing. It’s amazing [...]

Finns adore the football culture in countries that have it. And they love reading stories about how their friends or internet pals have travelled to Sweden or somewhere to take a glimpse on the culture.
It’s not every week that football fans from all over Finland travel to see a game of their choice in Finland, though. [...]

When Tampere United got to the Third Qualifying Round of the Champions League in 2007, it should have been a big step towards confirming the improvements made in the Finnish game. The national team was having one of it’s best ever qualification campaigns, the Under 21s were looking good for the 2009 European Championships, [...]

FC Inter won the Sami Hyypiä Award (or whatever it is called), the trophy given out to the Liigacup winner. That is basically all there is left to say about the game, because the game was just horrible. TPS could do nothing at all and Inter had a couple of chances, making them deserved victors. [...]

Even if Liigacup is not that popular a competition, a final is always a final so I think taking a look at the match is in order.
Because it’s a derby, both teams will be desperate not to lose. They both have a good defence, but Inter might have a slight edge in this department. They [...]
