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.

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.

I've been watching your videos for few days now, and damn. Old millenial from Poland (old millenials are young boomers now I guess... ) listening to American gen Z talking about football and I like it a lot. Waiting for more to come, cheers.

Haha thank you my man!

I know Malta have improved a lot in recent years, only lost once in 2020, but they only won once in 2021. So come June, San Marino could have a good chance at getting a smash and grab win when they host Malta in the Nations league. I really hope they do.

Yakuza, Eva music, calcio you are a legend!

I'm of the firm belief that San Marino would absolutely stomp any OFC team (aside from New Zealand obviously and maybe Tahiti) and teams like Guam and Sri Lanka or any small island nation if they played them. It's just tough in the division they play in where a team as bad as them have almost no chance of winning anything.

Not any other OFC team, but they would obviously crush the likes of Samoa, which loses 0-7 to New Caledonia and 0-8 to Papua New Guinea, lol.

Still crazy how San Marino only scored a handful of goals in official matches, but one of them happens to be the fastest goal in wc qualifying history, can't imagine the shock that English fans felt after that, given the situation the team was in.

Update: Their record is now 1-7-184 with 27 goals for and 797 goals against

This is so much better than a San Marino career mode episode 2! Also Nicola Nanni was robbed for the ballon d'or...

San Marino should play against Oceania teams. Maybe they will have a chance to win.

i am Peruvian and im happy we got 5 place we are a team that fights to the end and we never give up Vamos Peru

As one of the biggest fan of San Marino in the world i am proud of seeing videos like this. The problem is that now we made history by scoring in 3 matches in a row. Thanks for doing that Andy Selva GOAT

Great video. Fun fact: In Euro 2010 qualifier San Marino - Poland, Lewandowski scored his debut goald for the national team :)

Actually SM is way better if they compete in another confederation like OFC or the worst team in AFC, CAF and CONCACAF (ex: Laos, New Caledonia, Madagascar or British Virgin Islands) 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 If they compete against Laos or Cambodia, it would be a win for San Marino NT

New Caledonia is actually pretty good, but there are dozens of other teams that they could beat. They'd possibly be somewhere around 170-180 in the world on merit (instead of that current P210 in the FIFA rankings).

Many professional athletes in my country go thru the same formal academic higher education as most others so that they can have a day job after retiring from sports e.g. accountants, nutritionists, architects (probably so that they're able to remain financially independent) but it also makes them so busy that their risk of burnout increases, & quite a number of them thus end up retiring from sports prematurely after like just 1 or 2 Olympics

I think the Marani goal against Irland around 9:37 might be the ugliest goal I've ever seen. But pure determination to get the ball in, that's for sure!

Its actually heartwarming watching a team like San Marino play. They show us what football is really about. Not winning, but playing the game you love.

"Goalkeeper, and team bus driver".....funnier words have never been spoken

now i have a soft spot for the san marino's national team

One of my favorite national team upsets involves another micro nation, when during the 2010 WC Qualifications Luxembourg, ranked 152nd in the world at the time, beat 43rd ranked Switzerland 2-1

@@ederbcdos yes, that's why I said at the time of their match, back in 2008

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.

Its been said the greatest underdog story was Greece in Euro 2004...but to me...the undisputed greatest miracle of an underdog story would be San Marino qualifying to the World Cup and winning it

I like San Marino and I like how Nations League give them a chance to play more competitive games (even possible will be their first victory ever)

Just found your channel and I’m glad I did, great video!

This reminds me wen I usted to play with my school friends in a football league and even if we lost most of the game we always had fun.

Wow this was amazing review I always have a soft spot for the underdogs and hearing this review touches my heart, I hope the best for San Marino 🇸🇲 and hope and look forward to seeing more reviews like this of other countries like Bhutan 🇧🇹 or Macau 🇲🇴 or Any others would be interesting 👍🏻 ps: I subscribed now 😊

There is something charming about San Marino. I assume a lot of their players were just everyday normal people who amateurishly played soccer in their spare time. A lot of these guys got to play world class players so imagine them being excited to play against them. They knew they weren’t any good but it’s the fight that matters.

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

Great content mate - respect to any internal football team especially for the minows

San Marino's national team is a collection of different things rolled into one and this video did a pretty good job shedding light at them. In all fairness, teams like them are one thing that makes international football fun in right doses. The argument for not playing them has a dose of self-protection but honestly, nobody's stopping anyone from playing reserves if they're ever so worried about one's knee. Shit, the most fun I recall ever having with international football was watching Tahiti try their best in a Confed Cup.

I started watching your videos recently, they're really good man. If only the algorithm supported good videos. This man deserves 100k subs.

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
