That’s showing Italy vs Ukraine. Which is also, bizarrely, being shown on Premier Sports 2 as well.

As I understand it, the country is called that as a compromise to differentiate it from the Macedonia region of Greece, to the south. Was a big deal politically because just being able to call themselves "Macedonia" was seen by the Greeks as them taking the cultural legacy of ancient Macedonia (Alexander the Great etc) for themselves.

That's also why they went as FYROM for a while.
 
I know they're underdogs, but that still makes them dogs - such a snide side, all little tugs and playacting like a Guardiola side on crack...

They all look like low level drug dealers anyway. Kinda expecting Liam Neeson to drive onto the pitch and start laying the smackdown on them for kidnapping his daughter.
