The Faroe Islands men’s national soccer team will play the game of their lives on Friday for a chance to etch their tiny archipelago into soccer history — the biggest underdog story in the qualifying stages of the World Cup. Most of the players are not full-time professionals and they have never gotten this close. But the team is on a three-game winning streak and has performed shockingly well against much higher-ranked opponents. Their do-or-die match against Croatia could keep alive their chances of becoming one of the smallest territories to play in the World Cup. Photos by Sergey Ponomarev #FaroeIslands #WorldCup
