Matches

Finland vs Estonia

11 August 1922 and the match against Finland is in the history books for two reasons. Mainly, because when Arnold Kuulman scored a goal in the 40th minute, he became first ever to do so for the blueshirts. Secondly, it is still, after almost 90 years, the heaviest defeat Estonia has ever borne. For Kuulman it was the 4th and last appearance for the team. While Jarl Öhman scored a double-hattrick, HJK's Verner Eklöf scored third time in a row against Estonia.[1]

gollark: It errors, *but the list thing is appended to anyway*!
gollark: There is also extreme weirdness with, er, `x = ([], [])x[0] += ["bees"]`.
gollark: Which can have some unexpected results.
gollark: Also, it has weird special casing with comparison operators: `5 <= x <= 10` is actually valid and does what you might expect if you were a MATHS PERSON.
gollark: Oh, and the way everything is mutable by default can cause badness.
