⚪ The Finnish youth national team are going through tough times, struggling to secure positive results in their recent outings—managing just one draw and suffering two defeats in their last three official matches. Despite these setbacks, the Finns continue to fight hard and display a commendable level of attacking play, netting in almost every match with an average of 1.8 goals per game. However, their defensive frailties remain a concern, conceding an average of 1.4 goals per match, which demands the coach to find more reliable defensive solutions.

✅ In their match against Ukraine, Finland showed a completely different side compared to their vibrant performance against the Netherlands (2-2). While they nearly pulled off a sensational victory with organized play, especially in defense, in the second round, the Finns fell apart—suffering a 0-2 defeat and delivering a lackluster performance across the board. Almost none of the players reached the level expected at the tournament, as reflected in the low ratings from various sources.
