Just in regards to the Scotland ranking joke. It’s a throw away 2 second joke in the video 😂 I make several references about england losing the euros in the same video. It’s not that deep and was done with no malice 🤝

[@Tazza81]

[@CaptainBalcon]

To be fair San Marino probably is stronger than some teams above them, it's just that they always play against European teams that are hundreds times stronger than them and so couldn't possibly beat, while some of the teams above them may have weaker opposition in their continent

[@e14ph]

San Marino would love a friendly with other countries in below fifa rankings: AFC - Bhutan - Guam - Sri Lanka - Timor Leste

[@whiteshoesmovies799]

every now and then they play friendlies against minor sides of other confederations. They drew 0-0 with Seychelles and 1-1 with St. Lucia... decent results. and mind there are many national teams in Central America that are worse than St. Lucia... if they keep organizing friendlies against teams like those it is just a matter of time until San Marino gets their second win

[@ghostkrish8262]

@@e14ph Sri Lanka is banned but they would beat San Marino because their team all consists of Atleast Semi professional players not shop workerd

[@luca91274]

San Marino club teams also play in Europe, in CL their teams always go out during qualifying round in summer, in UL they don't have teams but in Conference they have 2 teams + the one coming from CL qualifying round. the first edition all 3 teams lost at 1st round but this year one team (Tre Fiori) advanced to 2nd qualifying round after beating Fola Esch (Netherland team) 1-0 away and 3-1 home, becoming, I think, the first San Marino club team to win an international match. Tre Fiori team also draw both matches in 2008/09 CL, losing against Sant Julia (Andorra team) only at penalties. So I think the introduction of Conference League can give to San Marino teams a good chance to play against international teams and get more and more experience.

[@whiteshoesmovies799]

@@ghostkrish8262 I doubt it... Sri Lanka even lost to Bhutan in 2015, and Bhutan later lost 0-15 against Qatar :D I think San Marino would beat the shit out of Sri Lanka team unless Sri Lanka has strongly improved lately

[@martenkats6915]

I went there to watch Scotland play San Marino 4 years ago (2-0 Scotland). What I definitely loved there was the pride the people there have in their country. It might be a tiny nation, it's still their country and they have just as much right to have a national team to support as English, French, German or Spanish people for example. Very friendly locals and as a result, I've kept a soft spot for them ever since.

Their story is in a youtube video and in the book Up Pohnpei.
