enthon Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Can you do something against such outcome of a full qualification round for the World Cup. It happens all the time! Thank you in advance. Oliver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz13 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'd question San Marino but not Cyprus so much Look at Belgium .... were in the World Cup semis in the 80s and have now got a good bunch of young players again (Fellaini, Hazard, Lukaka etc) ... some team have a good clutch of youngsters for 10 years then nothing for the next 10.

Fritz13 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Or did you mean the fact that Scotland managed to get 13 points .... highly unlikely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthon Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Just to mention a couple of facts to show how unrealistic our beloved game is within this area: San Marino San Marino's international record was one of almost total failure, with famous draws against Turkey and Latvia being the only partial successes in an international career that contains over 70 defeats. However, on 29 April 2004, San Marino recorded their first ever win, with a 1-0 victory over Liechtenstein in an international friendly. Andy Selva scored the only goal in a close game that finally gave this tiny republic a footballing victory.On September 6, 2006, San Marino suffered their biggest ever defeat, losing 13-0 to world giants Germany in the Stadio Olimpico. It was also the largest goal margin defeat in European Championship Qualifying history. In the same competition on February 7, 2007, they came within 8 seconds of the best result in their history. They were level at 1-1 with the Republic of Ireland after 94 minutes when Stephen Ireland scored within 8 seconds of the final whistle. The goal scored by San Marino was their European Qualifying first goal since losing 4-1 to Austria in 1998. Just one win in 72+ games, one goal every 5 to 6 years and last spot in the FIFA World Ranking! Cyprus 298 matches with 57 wins, by the half of them against other giants in the football world like San Marino, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, Faroer Islands and --- one against Spain. Surely not the worst team in the world but not seriously at least close to win a world cup qualification group with 8 wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enthon Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 No answer - no improvement within the update. Should be not a big issue to trigger a bit the level for some minor national teams? Faroer just won 3:0 in France and Liechtenstein is going straight for the European Finals. Hmmm Thank you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Alari Naylor Posted August 23, 2012 SI Staff Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi, we're keeping an eye on this and it's something we're always looking to balance. Tweaks to this kind of thing require an awful lot of testing though to avoid any undesirable side effects, so it may take a little while for us to get it to a point that we're happy with.
