      Yes San Marino is small country with small population, so it does not have big chance to make very good football team, but imagine someone born with the talent of Messi or Ronaldo in San Marino and then start playing for his national team. San Marino would not be anymore as big laughing stock football team, when no longer worst national team in football.

      In England people think the international break is boring because most of the time watching England isn't that exciting. There feels like there's no jeopardy in qualification so people don't really care. I think lots of people would only care if England were in trouble of not qualifying. Therefore, personally I enjoy watching other countries like Scotland and Ireland more than England because there's way more jeopardy.

    I can understand the feeling as I'm an Egyptian and the feeling for the Egyptian team. After 2010, the golden generation slowly retired and began having new players like Mo Salah, El-Neny, Hegazi, El- Shenawy, Tarek Hamad, and many more. It was a hard time before 2017 as we didn't qualify to CAF cup of nations, lost 6-1 agg to Ghana in the qualifiers to World Cup 2014, and adding with corruption the country have since 2014.
    2017 came and everything looked way better as we didn't just qualify to the CAF cup for the first time in 7 years, but reached the finals and lost to Cameron in one of the hardest moments in our history.
    At the same time, 2018 qualifiers was there and we went to Russia after Salah's famous penalty that made the country celebrate for a while.
    2018 came and that time where Salah was on fire and destroying records and people got sick from the defensive play we had and the way of relaying Salah which led to him being the second best goal scorer and the best in terms of currently playing. Then, World Cup came and it wasn't very good as we became the 31st and nobody loved that.
    2019 and new CAF tournament on the way and it got hosted in Egypt. Yeah, that crap went to shit after getting out in R16 from South Africa.
    Then nothing was good for a while as we qualified to the next CAF cup with the worst performance ever and went to the second round of the World Cup qualifying in much better performance and new manager as Carlos Querioz came and he's building a new generation while relaying on the best players like Salah and more.
    Now, they played the Arab Cup and lost to Qatar in 3RD position match in penalty which is burning right now.
    Let's hope we win the CAF cup this time.

    Fun fact: A Hong Kong band"dear jane"had make a song"heart of San Marino" 「聖馬利諾之心」to respect the the spirit of the team of never give up.
    Some of the sentence in it is actually thought provoking
    The translation of the song:
    Who can stage fright, loser in love
    Apathetic and self-abandoned will not be forgiven
    Despite the difficulties, I still managed to be strong
    Blood on the brow becomes a medal
    Obviously difficult to guarantee
    Infatuated participants will win if they lose enough
    but i want
    I'm leaning on crutches for that emptiness
    still dying
    I am a person who is afraid of losing and still plays brave
    Going forward is scary, but going backwards is even more embarrassing
    The group who often do cannon fodder is probably still attractive
    Tomorrow or when I turn over
    Victory will come one day, it doesn't matter if you lose wildly
    Please remember that someone chased so close
    The stubborn stone has never become gold, but I still wish to leave footprints on the field
    To guide the waste wood in the future
    Repeat the process, tenacious old genes
    Will not mutate to reverse fate and fate
    However, I believe in the sincerity of people
    Can melt the thickest ice
    I am a person who is afraid of losing and still plays brave
    Going forward is scary, but going backwards is even more embarrassing
    The group who often do cannon fodder is probably still attractive
    Tomorrow or when I turn over
    Victory will come one day, it doesn't matter if you lose wildly
    Please remember that someone chased so close
    The stubborn stone has never become gold, but I still wish to leave footprints on the field
    In the future, guide the waste wood woo
    Even if this noble ideal is unstable
    It's lucky to die from the cold
    Rather be seen as foolish and brave
    In the end, the person who is afraid of losing continues to fight
    To tell the world that I still have that anger
    People will definitely win every day, they will never be attracted by theorems
    Stay strong to hit your heart
    To be a better person and work hard every day
    Love does not come, life is not dark
    In fact, surviving in desperation is the life of a long life
    It may be hard for you guys to see the meaning of it as Google translate doesn't work well sometimes, but i also hope you gays to finish the song, thank you

If you are one of those people thinking these countries shouldn't play football, go there one day and speak to locals. The Sammarinese people I spoke to are passionate and love their country at least as much as people from big countries do, if not more. The fact that their country is tiny, doesn't mean they don't have the right to support them and dream to play for their country. That was a trip with great experiences.

    The reason that the SMNT at the bottom of the FIFA Ranking is they have to face to the giant of world football like Germany, Italy, England,...
    Another reason is the population of that country is too low to finding good players for their NT

    Ever since I was a kid I always cheered for underdogs. I grew up watching teams go up against the odds and do the impossible and so San Marino always had a special place in my heart. It's something my uncle who's a huge football fan enjoyed about me growing up because I always went with the underdogs and he joined me in cheering for San Marino whenever we could. We planned to visit San Marino together eventually and for my 18th birthday he got me a San Marino jersey from Italy. 3 years ago he passed away, but I still will visit San Marino for the both of us like we said we would.

    that second draw got me hard back then, watching the cry and everyone how happy they were, reminded me of that egipt game where salah scored the penalty and the comentator just cried like a baby, these are the moments that matter, sure i love my brazil and we winning stuff, but i honestly lost that thing where i just root for my team and fuck the rest, nah, i like football, i like the game, i will root for my team when they play but also respecting the other teams and enjoying the beauty of the game

      @@teacoffee42 i mean, context matters, in america, brazil is known to be far and better then everyone, historically speaking ofc, i think that gap is long gone, both argentina and uruguay have competitive teams, even colombia, mexico, and USA and CANADA, you can see them improving, to us, if we dont win it all its shamefull, becuase we have been the best for so long, we had so many incredible generations, now we fight to even qualify to quarters in the world cup, the europeans got so much better over the years and we are just standing there, frozen in time.

    Naturalization of players should end. National teams are turning into clubs. Unless the father of the player has been born and raised in that country, you can't play there. The player obviously should have done so too
