After 112 years, Finland's men finally qualify for a major tournament. We hear from captain Tim Sparv on the team's cultural diversity, goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky on his post-playing plans of running a pub, and former keeper Antti Niemi, who's enjoying the feeling of being stopped in the street as football takes the sporting limelight from ice hockey.
