“Brave Falcons” opened their qualifying campaign early in the year with a win against Gibraltar (3-1), but Robert Prosinečki’s team didn’t seem quite in complete shape since they let their opponent score first. Their Montenegrin midfield is not star-studded, yet it boasts some talent from the Italian Serie A. Lazio’s Adam Marušić, a defender, came off the bench in the second half and scored. Lecce forward Nikola Krstović played the entire match but did not contribute much offensively.
Last autumn’s campaign in the Nations League was a disaster — in a group containing Turkey, Wales, and Iceland, Montenegro lost five from six matches and was sent back to League C. It is telling that the Faroe Islands also play in this league, which means that their level is not as good as it is thought to be.
Klakstein’s men have previously shown that they can compete against strong European sides. In the first round, the Faroese played exceptionally well against the Czech Republic, losing only in the dying moments of the game (1-2).
Yes, the ‘fishermen’ played the defense, but could have salvaged a tie. Even without prominent performers from the elite leagues, the representatives of the Faroe Islands have begun to lose the tag of a footballing minnow and are, slowly, getting their act together as a team unit.
