    San Marino are a tiny country in Europe, an enclave in Italy with a population of only 35,000 people.

    They have a football team who have played competitively in UEFA and FIFA competitions since 1987. Until today, however, they had only ever won one match: a friendly against fellow minnows Liechtenstein in 2004. Their 1-0 win today, also over Liechtenstein, sparked scenes of wild celebration among the attending fans and it was a joy to watch.
