211 team tournament if we're talking full membership party.

Yeah, but the logistics and planning for an odd number of teams would be too much. There'll definitely be a 212th member by then though.

Interestingly enough, San Marino is ranked in 210th and last place, which is a great way to show the nonsense of this ranking system....I have not a single doubt that they'd run circles around at least 30-40 of the teams above them (but who I assume get easier points by playing easier matches?) :p

When was the last time San Marino played against a non-European opponent?

Ok, they lost against Saint Lucia in November 2022 :p 

 

I might have been too excited, but they scored in their previous three matches :d (against Denmark, Kazakhstan and Finland, one would imagine the likes of Anguilla or São Tomé shouldn't be that much of a problem then, but if Saint Lucia proves too much...)

 

We'll see, they have a double-header against :SKN scheduled next month!

They had a draw with Seychelles some time ago too.  

 

I think Sao Tome wouldn't be easy either, they have some professional players. One even played for Newell's old boys some years ago. 

 

I think only the bottom 5-6 teams of concacaf and OFC are clearly worse. Maybe Guam or Brunei too.

What happens if the USA blocks a team from entering. What would FIFA do. Must be serious chance if Trump is president he won’t let in Iran or Palestine.

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
    • Great to see O’Connor on the podium again! Thats 4 major medals in the past 12 months (World Indoors x 2, Euro Indoors and World Championships).   Her strongest event is the javelin so she is going to continue to be a huge threat in the heptathlon this summer and she is still improving all the other events. Exciting times for her  
    • Congrats to Diggins winning the WC in her final season 
    • Call me mad, but it feels very strange to have made it all the way through a major championships without hearing how the results were going to lead to a slashing of funding for  sport.  
    • Only Fabbri from Italy has disappointed and that's a bit concerning... In 3 of the last 4 major events (OG and 2x Indoor World Champ), he's performed significantly worse than he did on the entire season – he took bronze at the 2025 World Championships, but his result was also nothing special. His performance today is completely incomprehensible  (
