Finland boss Markku Kanerva with kind and classy words for Wales :

Generally a nice people the Fin’s. Still do mandatory national service, used to work with one who said the youth just see it as par for course. My first wales away back in 2002 (off memory) but then went back to Helsinki for a trip.

They were pretty poor last night mind but hats off to the manager for the comments , no excuses pulled .

Fair play, classy message and fair comments. You don’t get any managers in the UK being that honest.

He’ll be annoyed by conceding an early second half goal from a set piece after getting back into the match before half time.

But credit to him for these comments.

You can tell a lot by a person's demeanour so I'm not surprised he's backed it up by kind words. Seems a very classy type of a guy. The complete opposite of that surly, narcissist Jose Mourinho.

Sounds very respectful in defeat plus they have now joind NATO along with sweden but was suprised to find finland ran along side hitler and the nazis during world war 2.
