How Did San Marino SUDDENLY Become Amazing?

St Kitts has a lot of players playing in England like Romaine Saywers who used to play for Cardiff, or probably still do.

Puerto Rico has a massive garbage problem… the people aren’t garbage, you missed the point but I’m not surprised…

Do an episode on Ghana as they just failed to qualify for AFCON

San Marino- Suddenly the Man City of European national football 😂

Alfie, I think the video on Man City is already overdue

Thanx Alfie. Reminded me that my late father who was something of a leftie knew the fact about San Marino being only western state ever led by communists before we had internet.

One thing I think is overlooked is how impressive some these "hammerings" are. To go to Wembley and ONLY lose 5-0 is pretty incredible considering it is a team of amateurs and semi-pros.

Imagine the equivilant UK club side playing a full strength England team, it would like a team in the 8th tier pulling that off. Losing 5-0 would be seen as pretty incredible.

Who (in footballing terms) should be canonised as a Saint? Smells like a 7s video

needs to be an anti world cup that runs after the regular one for the bottom 36 teams in the world. I'd watch every game

Tbf to San Marino they did very well to draw a 2 on 1 handicap match against St Kitts & Nevis

If San Marino played in the Asian, North/Central American or Oceanic Federation, they wouldn't have nearly as bad a score. Now in UNL they are playing against countries of approximately the same size (number of inhabitants), so some good results will not be missed. So far, they have only played qualifiers against much bigger teams. If they imported football players, they could do even better.

the nations league, for all its... inconveniences for larger nation, has created a chance for minnows to shine

I love the Nations Leagues, both UEFA and CONCACAF. They both give tiny nations a chance to play meaningful games that have balanced competitive talent levels. These national teams now can have hope for real investment and pride.

See Tim Traveller's videos on watching San Marino games. They're brilliant

The Elon Musk reaction was beautifull :D

Why isn't there a yearly friendly between each team and their neighbouring ranked country? 1 vs 2, 3vs4 and so on ?

I've got a video suggestion, can you make a video about the 7 teams that have gotten the most performance out of the lowest value? So maybe like leicester 2015 winning pl, or ajax getting to ucl semis. Both teams with great performance, Low value at the time?

Now we need San Marino vs Puerto Rico to settle matters

San Marino snapped out

Best video yet, 'what has this got to do with San Marino football ... nothing' 🤣

Hilarious opening.

They were playing Gibraltar and Lichtenstein which fully explains the situation. The nations league will improve the elo ratings of these European micro teams as they end up playing each other. When World Cup qualification starts in March normal service will be resumed.

The USAF tried to bomb San Marino but missed

Pls do finland down fall
New san Marino

I wouldnt say San Marino have become amazing but they can say they are better than Liechtenstein right now. Likelihood is they will be back to normal in the world cup qualifiers and unlikely to win their Nations League promotion play-off. But they can take heart from this and no reason they cant compete on a level playing field against the other principality nations and aim to get results in future Nations League matches.

The country has seen success elsewhere in recent years too. In the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games San Marino won their first ever Olympic medals. 1 silver and 2 bronze all in one Olympic Games. Making them the smallest nation ever to win an Olympic medal. As someone who is from New Zealand who only wishes for the club in which I support to do well. I genuinely want San Marino to do well because for me Success isn't always about trophies or Money (I say this as a spurs fan so what do you expect 😂) you can find the same genuine elation and happiness just seeing an underdog get a good result

In fact they wanted to conquer San Marino, problem is they couldn't find it on the map. xD They even walked several times through it not realising they did.

Constantini man let it go

Oh the vaticans activities had me laughing. Very good.

Honestly i need to see a video on the decline of Litchenstein a decade ago they were closer in the world Rankings to new Zealand and Iceland then to Gibraltar and san marino now they have completely fallen apart, they had guys in the bundesliga and serie a now they only have a few professional players and most are amaeture or semi pro

🇸🇲🇸🇲🔥

San Marino 🇸🇲 is going to the world cup 2026


Let's make it happen

San Marino have actually seen some huge sporting success, just not in football. Much like ASD Victor San Marino, San Marino Baseball Club are a Sammarinese team that play in the top flight of Italian baseball. Very much unlike ASD Victor San Marino, they are five time champions of the baseball Serie A and three time winners of the European Cup, European baseball's equivalent of the Champion's League, most recently in 2014. Obviously European baseball is much, much less competitive than European football, but they were still beating fully professional clubs that have produced occasional MLB players.

It,s really nice to see for the Sam, Marino players and fans especially I said for years they should start so something like the nations league as it would help teams like San Marino and litchenstein and luxemberg and also they should start something like the conference leauge as it would be better for teams from the smaller European leagues

San Marino wanting to play city thinking they can win 😂

They improved but let's admit it, they were only playing sh!t countries
Won't make a dent against the strong teams (despite occasional goals)

I give at least partial credit to "The Tim Traveler"

Didn't San Marino knock us (England) out of the USA world Cup in the 90's. We had to win them something ridiculous like 13-0. But they clawed 1 goal back
So we failed out in the qualifying stage?
Despite us getting the stupid amount of goals needed.

They are just too good

NAURU MENTIONED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They saw ghillienis vid 😂

Meanwhile, Aruba, who was destructive in 2023, becomes sh!t in 2024 (we lost all matches this year only drawing 1)

Just feed it a Liechtenstein and you succeed

Daughter come on Alfie she might be a bloke in 15 years!
