Would Palace beat San Marino?

[Giraffe]

Neil Warnock thinks so.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

.err - yes. As would any Premier League or Championship side. They have one professional player.

 

[shaolinpunk]

In fairness, any Premier League team should be capable of beating San Marino. They play against teams of a higher standard week in week out.

 

[severnside gull]

Would anyone care?

 

[pasty]

What an odd question. I would wager more Championship teams would beat them than not, let alone Premiership teams.

 

[spring hall convert]

We'd beat San Marino 99 times out of 100

 

[Mackenzie]

I'd say a midtable PL team could beat most international teams outside the top 25.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

I would suggest that a League 2 team would probably scrape it.

That's not meant as a glib putdown of the San Marino team, more as an acceptance that any fully professional team would have a huge advantage over them.

 

[Icy Gull]

Neil Warnock is a footballing dinosaur, not that this has any relevance to San Marino.

 

[Whitechapel]

There's a handful of Confrence sides who'd give those no-hope, tinpot rank amateurs a close game.

However, they'd still probably beat San Marino

 

[Giraffe]

You see I think the answer is no.

And I'll tell you for why. One is an international team and the other is a club team. They will never play each other. Therefore I do not believe that Palace would beat San Marino.

I hope that's cleared that up.

Clearly you've never seen my seven year old on his old £1 copy of PES2011.

Nice back tracking

 

[Eeyore]

England would do well to give the newer members some game time in this one. Although forwards wouldn't want to miss out on a buffet match.

As for Estonia, we can't underestimate them at home. They drew with Netherlands in the last qualifiers, with only an injury time penalty saving the Dutch.

 

[DumLum]

I think Palace would give England a run for their money.

 

[Frampler]

There are some examples of international sides playing club sides.

 

[Se20]

All of the Premier teams, and the top half of the championship would beat these minnows.
Even yourselves would fancy putting away one of the numerous chances you create.

Not at all. We played Cyprus in a pre-season friendly once. Beat them 6-0 I think.

I'm not sure that we have ever played Cyprus, but we have played a Gibraltar XI, a Nigerian XI, the East German Olympic squad, Israel and New Zealand.

Pretty sure it was Cyprus - back in the 70's - but can't find any confirmation.
