Well you can never say never in football. How did N.Ireland beat a full strength Spain? How many would have predicted it? I predicted a 6-0 win for Spain!
After N.Ireland were beat easily 3-0 by a poor Iceland team.
San-Marino are a very poor side. They are the worse team in Europe but they have a small population so that can not be helped. Like all teams they have a right to compete.

I think that San Marino are a shocking team, but you should give Germany credit for keep goin at them, not like England tonight, where we were just content with a 1-0 victory, we should be taking teams to the sword.

It looks like some traditionally weaker teams (e.g. Albania, Cyprus, even Malta and Luxembourg) are getting stronger, while others are just getting worse and worse (San Marino being the prime example).
These incredibly weak teams like San Marino should not be allowed to enter the group stages of the qualifiers directly, they should themselves have to play in a preliminary qualifying group with equally weak teams, this way the weakest of the weak would be filtered out, ultimately raising the game and reducing occurrences of two figure goal thrashings like that of tonight by Germany.

You must have a look at this result, talking about easy games:
Luxembourg - Netherlands 0-1.
Wahahahahaha!
But from what I have seen at least S Marino played it fair, unlike Andorra who compensate their lack of quality (!) by kicking,
pushing and intimidating.
There should be a preliminary round with games like Andorra vs San Marino and Luxembourg vs Far Oer, that could be exiting and they could win a match once in a while!

yeah it was easy. san marino still have a right to be there. they're a country. gilbraltar should have its own team too. montenegro will also have its own team soon.
i don't like this attitude that these teams should have to go through a preliminary round....every group has one of these 'minnows' and they all have great national pride....it would be extremely arrogant to try and make football, the people's game, a club for the elite. i like to think there's at least one tournament, where at least at the start, every team in europe gets equal opportunity. it's doing no harm these matches.
other possible candidates for uefa membership as an international team -
monaco
vatican city
isle of man
greenland
northern cyprus
kosovo
jersey
basque country (highly unlikely)
catalonia (highly unlikely)

San Marino didn't find it a particularly easy game

Too easy of a game for Germany. Too easy.

It gets worse, Gibraltor is trying to gain membership into Fifa. It has a population of just 30,000. Its argument, if the Faroes can have their own team why not them?
