Sakari Manninen unknowingly rode around with a paper cup taped to his helmet during Monday's training session. "I love pranks like that and it was good for team morale, everyone laughed," says Manninen.
Finland, who had some problems at the start of the tournament, crushed Denmark 7–1 in the final group stage match. The main character himself takes it all in stride: "It was a good prank by Mikko Lehtonen. I liked it," Manninen says.
