san marino 0 germany 13

[tommy dickfingers]

this is an absolute joke fifa has got to put these teams in a pre-qualifier

[Lex Luger]

Have San Marino ever won a match? I mean like EVER?

[DavidS]

You are right, Tommy. This does nothing for the credibility of the game at international level.

San Marino hold an ace up their sleeve.....they can boast the fastest international goal approx 20 odd seconds.

Who did they score against..........?

Yep, you guessed it...... England!!!

They beat the mighty Liechtenstein 1-0 in a friendly in 2004.

well, in this case you can't blame fifa, it would be uefa's job

Could be a bit hasty with the suggestions going around about pre-qualifying for minnows though. Northern Ireland, who a little while back couldn't even score a goal for an eternity, never mind get a point, and might be suggested as one of the teams for pre-qualifying, last night beat Spain ... and did for England last time too.

Yeah but there's minnows and there's minnows.

There's plenty of "real" minnows to fill a few prequalification groups: besides San Marino there's Liechtenstein, Andorra, Malta, Faroe Islands, Luxembourg, Cyprus and a whole bunch of breakaway former Soviert and Eastern European states like Georgia, Moldova, the three Baltic republics, Solvenia ...... that's 13 obvious candidates just off the top of my head.

Yep, Germany should definitely have to pre-qualify as they only put 13 past San Marino! !wink!
