Wales play Finland and England play Lichtenstein tomorrow...
Category None
in another European qualifier that must be won, and is it on the tele? eh no. Here are some interesting comparisons between England and Lichtenstein:
Population:
England 49,100,000
Liechtenstein 32,000
Football clubs:
England 92 (full-time)
Liechtenstein 7 (part-time)
Professional footballers:
England: 2,000
Liechtenstein: 8
When Lichentstein play at home, 10% of their entire population can watch it live at the stadium, yes their stadium is huge it seats 3200 people!
Another interesting thing about the two countries, they use the same music for their national anthems, to the American readers you would recognise the English national anthem as "My Country Tis of Thee" with different words.
