San Marino, a country with an area of only 61 square kilometers, is a pocket country, and the most valuable player in the team is only 100,000 euros, and they have non-professional players in the squad. With the strength of the San Marino team, it is really impossible to cause problems for other teams in the European qualifiers, and San Marino is the weakest national team in the world. Of course, their fighting spirit in the game deserves respect! So in everyone's opinion, what kind of score can the national football team play when it meets San Marino?
