A pike waits very still in the reeds, then bursts out in a flash, like a striker timing a run in behind. Pike live in the lakes of Finland, and Finland played their first big tournament at Euro 2020. Hold it gently: it has lots of teeth.

On Futbol Island the northern pike can be caught at:

• Stadium Park Pond: The still pond in Stadium Park, a short walk from the DRIP FC Stadium. Koi and perch nose round the middle, and now and then an eel slips past the rim.

Size on the island: 40–100 cm.
