Kuqi's Finns Thrashed - Ipswich Town News
Town frontman Shefki Kuqi played the full 90 minutes as he won his 37th international cap in Finland's 4-0 defeat by Holland in Helsinki. The Finns now look highly unlikely to qualify for next summer's World Cup in Germany.
The Dutch went one-up 10 minutes before the break through Ruud van Nistelrooy and added three more goals late on through Dirk Kuyt, once linked with the Blues as a youngster, Phillip Cocu and Robin Van Persie.
Finland: Jääskeläinen, Nurmela, Tihinen, Hyypiä, Saarinen, Tainio (Forssell 74), Riihilahti, Litmanen (Johansson 28), Väyrynen, Kuqi, Eremenko (Kopteff 80).
