One of the best technical players we ever had was called Claudio Lopez, definitely was more Argentinian than Sammarinese with his talent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or some lad that couldn't get a chance at the younger ages in Italy move across and try to get noticed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Our squad still isn't deep enough to make a proper assault on the league, and I doubt it'll be next year, either. As soon as we get a couple of injuries, we're toast. The next intake or two should fill out our squad nicely and make us real contenders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Youth Intake Day! We don't need a keeper particularly, but it never hurts to have a backup.

One of the best technical players we ever had was called Claudio Lopez, definitely was more Argentinian than Sammarinese with his talent Well, in actual irl national team there are two Argentina-born players (Hirsch and Rinaldi), whose families have Sanmarinese heritage. San Marino was land of emigration until 60s/70s and many (for their size of course) Sanmarinese moved abroad, not only Italy, but also U.S.A.

Juvenes Dogana lost 3-0 to Kairat from Kazakhstan, Murata lost 8-0 to Hadjuk from Croatia and Domagnano lost 7-0 to Rangers from Scotland in the EL 1st Qualifying Round.

Bedese Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Here's the league table for this year: Both those losses came against La Fiorita (3-2 and 5-2). Here's the league table for last year: One of those losses was against La Fiorita (2-0). Because we were in the other division, we only played them once. If you combine the last two seasons, our record is: P41, W33, D4 , L4. If you take out the La Fiorita games: P38, W33, D4, L1. We've lost one league game in the past two years that wasn't to La Fiorita. That's title contending form - only, to get the title, we'd need to beat La Fiorita. Here's our recent record in crunch time against La Fiorita: 2023/2024: 3-2 loss to La Fiorita in the cup Quarter Final. 2024/2025: 2-0 loss to La Fiorita in the cup Quarter Final, 2-0 loss to La Fiorita to knock us out the Playoffs. 2025/2026: We beat them 2-1 in the cup final! They then beat us 3-1 in the Playoffs. This year: We stormed through the cup until we met La Fiorita in the final, where: We were still in the Playoffs though, and beat Pennarossa, Virtus and then scraped past La Fiorita in extra time to set up a rematch with La Fiorita in the final. Could we win the league for the first time in history? They're an absolute juggernaut. I've never played in a country like this before. We're so far ahead of every other team it's barely even competitive, but then La Fiorita are equally as far ahead of us! Catching up to them is going to be one hell of a task... And just in case you needed a reminder: They did this in a league game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question! They've never won a CL Qualifier, but they've done pretty well in the EL Qualifiers after they drop out of the CL - and this year they had their best run yet: We've never had an AI managed team come one game away from a European Group stage before. The Sammarinese teams seem to be faring a lot better in Europe this year, and that run is the best we've seen yet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
