What is the hallmark of FIFA's penultimate team? Yes, they do have a "holy" in their name. Since 2020, San Marino, from UEFA's bottom-ranked team, has been at the bottom of the FIFA rankings and is a truly world-class fish belly team. How weak San Marino really is, there is already a clear answer in terms of record.
Since joining FIFA in 1990, San Marino has won just one of 32 years of international competitions! It was their warm-up match before the 2004 World Cup qualifiers in Germany, with a 1-0 win over another European team, Liechtenstein. In addition to this, San Marino has drawn 6 matches in 32 years, and the remaining hundreds of games have all lost! Of course, if the bottom 32 teams in FIFA are put together to form a World Cup, San Marino is really not necessarily the weakest team, and it may even "win the championship". This is because they have been playing against world-class teams in European football for many years, and although they have lost all the matches, the players have seen the world.
An international warm-up match that ended this morning, San Marino lost again, this time to cape Verde, an African side, with a score of 0-2. In the whole game, San Marino only had 20% of the ball. This is the case for this national team, which is basically dominated by amateur players. It has been a year and a half since the last game without losing, and San Marino has been divided by losses for a long time, which is not difficult to understand why they are firmly at the bottom of world football.
In qatar's World Cup qualifiers, San Marino still lost 10 games of the group stage, including being slaughtered by England 10-0 and 5-0. In 10 matches, he only lost 1-7 to Poland, and was "released" by his opponent to score the only goal. Even Andorra, another weak team in the same group, was still able to beat them up 5-0 at home and away. Historically, the Chinese men's football team once drew 0-0 with Andorra in a warm-up match, and if you analyze it according to this strength comparison, the strength of San Marino is absolutely unable to defeat the Chinese men's football team. The last time they didn't lose a match was against Gibraltar in 2020, when they drew 0-0.
Historically, San Marino has never played against a Chinese men's team, or even played against Asian, American and Oceanian teams in official matches. However, for San Marino, being able to play with world-class teams all year round, for players who can play, can indeed blow for a lifetime: "Good thing I can play with the world cup or the former champions of the European Championship every year"!
