With European heavyweights Germany, Spain and England in their group, Finland will be the outsiders to progress to the semi-finals, but with a good team spirit, they may just spring a surprise or two.
Tim Sparv, the Halmstads midfielder will be hoping to beat his ex-Southampton teammate, Theo Walcott when the Finns face England in their first group game in his home stadium. The midfielder is arguably their biggest talent within this group of players.
Other players to watch out for include Jussi Vassara in midfield and the lively Teemu Pukki upfront (see video).
Finland will have nothing to lose and they may just be able to knock-out one of the favourites with their team spirit and work rate.
