October 7, 2000 - WCQ - Switzerland 5 Faroe Islands 1



Oct 7, 2000 - WCQ
Switzerland 5 Faroe Islands 1
Att - 9500 (Hardturm Stadium in Zurich)

At this point in 2000, I was studying in Olomouc, and at the time I was kind of obsessed with the Faroe Islands.  I went to Zurich by train from Olomouc, which was incredibly long.  From Olomouc to Prague, Prague to Munich and finally Munich to Zurich. 

Hardturm in Zurich was built in 1929, and closed in 2007.  I feel lucky to have been able to watch a match in such stadium.  I recall that the Faroe Islands took shock lead in the 4th minute but ended up giving up 5 straight goals.  There were also around 100 Faroese supporters at the match.
