Mobile Germany Beats Faroe Islands by a Hair Is the next soccer power an archipelago in the North Sea? Although Germany’s team beat the northern islanders in a European Soccer Qualification round, the real praise goes to the plucky underdogs who played a respectable game against the runner-up world champions. The Faroe Islands may be one of the minnows of European soccer, but the island team from the North Sea gave the Germans a good run in a qualification game on Wednesday night in Hanover. Despite losing 2:1 to this year’s second place World Cup team, the Faroe Islands impressed soccer fans throughout Europe with their give-it-all efforts, and embarrassed the German team by showing just how easy it is to slide in a goal. Plucky part-timers The Faroe islands, which belong to Denmark, were pitted as sure losers prior to the match. Predictions of a 7:0 or 8:0 walkover were considered realistic for a team made up largely of fishermen and part-time kickers. But in the end, the Danes were proud of their team’s defensive tactics.

28. The Faroe Islands: Faroese History - A Part Of Randburg of Celtic cultural elements into the otherwise purely Norse faroese culture.The Norse Vikings in the faroe islands built scattered farms of Norwegian http://www.randburg.com/fa/general/general_5.html

Search Randburg - Search Iceland Faroese History It is a very disputed question who the people were that first settled the Faroe Islands and when they did so. Studies made by natural scientists and tales of travels by seafaring Irish friars have led scholars to believe that the Faroe Islands were populated by middle of the 7th century AD. There is no agreement on this matter, however, and the belief is not supported by archaeological findings. On the other hand, the Norwegian colonization during the Viking Age is well documented. Throughout the Viking Age (approx. 800-1050 AD), large-scale emigration from Norway led to the establishment of Norse agricultural societies, partly in areas populated by Celtic peoples bordering the Irish Sea and on the islands off Scotland's western and northern coasts, and partly in uninhabited areas in the North Atlantic. Contact between the areas of Norse settlement was strong and one of its results was to introduce a number of Celtic cultural elements into the otherwise purely Norse Faroese culture. The Norse Vikings in the Faroe Islands built scattered farms of Norwegian design around the country. From these, people farmed the land, reared cattle and sheep, hunted birds, caught fish and gathered food. To a large extent they did so on a subsistence basis, but Faroese farms have never been entirely self-sufficient. Important goods like timber, iron and other metals, limestone and tools, as well as luxuries, had to be imported. Thus goods were produced for export in return, such as wool, wadmal, tallow, fish oil, stockfish and feathers and down.

Search Randburg - Search Iceland Tórshavn Municipality Tórshavn City Council Vaglið FR-110 Tórshavn Tel.: Fax: As a stepping-stone on the viking trail from Scandinavia to North America or just as a welcome "pied ý terre" to those crossing the great ocean, the Faroe Islands is the green home for birds, sheep and people. And there, in the very centre of the islands, is Tórshavn. Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands Since the early days of viking settlement more than one thousand years ago, the Faroese have met and held their parliament or "Thing" in Tórshavn. Tórshavn is said to be perhaps the smallest capital in the world (approx. 15,000 inhabitants), and as an administrative and political centre it may even be the oldest in Scandinavia. The old site of the Thing is on the headland in the middle of the harbour of Tórshavn. Today, the Faroese Government offices are in the old listed buildings on the very point of the promotory, while the Parliament is in an old wooden building in the centre of the town. Tórshavn is a modern town which, owing to modern communication and infrastructure, is not at all as isolated as it used to be during the past centuries. But it retains its unique character, fascinating, small and different from any other capital in the world.

Faroe Islands Culture The Faroes have a proud cultural heritage, although Faroese was long regarded as a peasant language and the written form was not standardised until the 1890s. Life was hard, and after the chores were done there was not a lot of time left to write novels or paint portraits. The earliest Faroese music would be considered bland by modern standards, but it was designed to accompany the Faroese chain dance and the kv¦°i , a body of late medieval ballads. There are thousands of verses to these ballads and the chain dance requires knowledge of these verses to be properly performed. There were no instruments on the islands, and simple and repetitive melodies were commonly sung in a minor key. Today, traditional dancing is on the school curriculum and also takes place during the winter dancing season and on festive occasions to celebrate the islanders' unique identity. The chain dance was once popular all over Scandinavia, but has survived intact only in the Faroes. During the long and cold winter nights, people occupied themselves by reciting stories and poetry that had been passed down orally for generations. They were finally collected and written down in the 19th century. The first modern Faroese poet, N³lsoyar-Poul Poulson, wrote politically inspired ballads dealing with corruption and the troubled economics of the early 1800s. The best known writer in the short history of Faroese literature is He°in Brº, whose books are very popular in the islands and have gained acceptance abroad as well. J¸rgen-Frantz Jacobsen and William Heinesen are other well-known Faroese authors who wrote in Danish rather than their native language.
