The referee for the game is François Letexier from France, which is a good omen as the ref in Rotterdam was Georges Konrath, also from France.

Well, more comparisons to 1982 for you… this is their first european final, facing the favourites, who are filled with internationals.

Let’s just hope they don’t have shins!
