the Faroes: After that victory the Faroes coach, Lars Olsen, called it a result that would echo around the world and he can scarcely have imagined repeating the feat seven months later, according to The Guardian. The Faroes have never qualified for a major tournament but climbed above Finland into fourth place in the six-team Group F, five points behind Hungary in third place. Greece lost 1-0 at home to the tiny nation in November, leading to their coach, Claudio Ranieri, being replaced by Sergio Markarian. The top two teams are guaranteed a place in France while most third-place teams will have to go through a play-off. In the second half Vasilis Torosidis had a goal disallowed as Greece pressed for an equaliser. Hallur Hansson opened the scoring for the Faroes, converting a cross from Solvi Vatnhamar, almost immediately after Kostas Mitroglou had hit the woodwork for Greece on 32 minutes.
