Do You Believe In Miracles: The Country Of San Marino Pulls Off The Upset Of The Year By Winning For The First Time In 140 Matches (20 Years)

You wanna talk about all time upsets? This right here should qualify, even if it's San Marino vs Lichtenstein. San Marino is a country made up of 33,000 people, haven't won a match in 20 years and never won a competitive match. That all changed with a 1-0 win yesterday. They rightfully went nuts in the locker room, I mean how else do you celebrate a win for the first time in 20 years? 

There's a lot of arguments in sports, especially soccer, in terms of who is better, who is the best, etc. San Marino is without a doubt the worst country in soccer. They rarely score, they typically lose like 4-0 and just don't have any sort of thing to point at as hey, we can compete. Not anymore! Lichtenstein now has 2 losses against San Marino in 20 years. That might be the most embarrassing stat in all of sports. You could say Lichtenstein was a powerhouse ranked 199th in FIFA, especially compared to San Marino. But this is why you play the game.

 US hockey vs USSR. Chaminade vs Virginia basketball. San Marino vs Lichtenstein. Upsets that people will be talking about for hours, if not days. Just know if you find yourself rooting for a team as shitty as the White Sox, they aren't nearly as bad as San Marino. 20 years without a win, 140 matches. Sure, there were a couple ties, but still haven't won in 140 games. The White Sox still weren't that bad. Lichtenstein gotta shut down the program now. Can't be known as the team who loses to San Marino.
