The mens adult team has always failed expectations (qualification hopes).
Club stage is what it is. Our team made to CL group stage once in 1997 and before or after that, not much else.

If your country is doing well in the women's version it will definitely inspire the male team to do better, good luck to Finland in the next Euros, I hope that they do well.
And btw I love the national Sport in Finland, it's my 2nd favourite Sport behind Football of course.
