Isn't this section on Wikipedia slightly sad:

 

[mjo]

Well, a draw against Turkey is quite good!

 

[soccerman17]

They probably played ten defenders and a goalie in that Turkey game

 

[teabagyokel]

Turkey were rubbish back then.

 

[mjo]

Or eleven goalies!!!

 

[soccerman17]

Turkey may have been rubbish back then, but you can't be more rubbish than San Marino. Its just not possible.

 

[Bus Stop Chicane]

Remember when San Marino nearly drew with Ireland a few years ago?

 

[teabagyokel]

Yeah!

 

[mjo]

Didn't Liechtenstein nearly beat Scotland a few years ago?

 

[teabagyokel]

Scotland won 2-1 with a 97th minute winner...

That was almost so funny. Luxembourg won away in Switzerland in 2008 as well...

 

[Bus Stop Chicane]

Didn't Liechtenstein nearly beat Scotland a few years ago?

No. they nearly drew with us smart-alec.

When we scored that goal in the 97th minute i was jumping up and down like a lunatic. The repurcussions of not scoring would have been catastrophic.

 

[mjo]

I remember seeing Alan McAnally shouting and cheering like a lunatic when Scotland scored to win the game on Soccer Saturday.

 

[Jos the Boss]

You watch, the next big star will come out of San Marino! He just won't chose to play for them...

Bus Stop Chicane - as a Scottish fan discussing microstate football, are you trying to shoot down any mention of the two words "Islands" and "Faroe"?

 

[GermanF1]

Talking about Faroe Islands...

 

[tooncheese]

San Marino are ranked joint last with Montserrat and Turks and Caicos Islands on 0.

 

[teabagyokel]

You can only get a point if you have drawn a game in the last 4 years, which of course SM have not...

According to ELO Ratings they're 201st between Comoros and Tuvalu.

How has Geoff Lynne got involved in football ratings teabagyokel

 

[Johnny Carwash]

I can remember when the Faroes beat Austria 1-0 in there first ever competitive match in 1990.

I've actually got a wee soft spot for the Faroes. I'd quite like them to do well, and fair play they're getting better if you look at qualifying results over the last couple of campaigns.

That's just typical Scotland I'm afraid, we'll play a great game against the big guns and then have a shocker against the minnows.
