This is one of my niche interests, mainly because my Grandma was from the Faroes.
This is the final micronation table from the most recent World Cup qualifying campaign (taken off that thread)
1 Faroe Islands Points = 9; GD = -12
2 Luxembourg Points = 6; GD = -18
3 Andorra Points = 4; GD = -21
4 Malta Points = 1; GD = -22
And the nil pointers
5 Liechtenstein GD = -38
6 Gibraltar GD = -44
7 San Marino GD = -49
Of note in that campaign:
Faroes and Luxembourg managed to avoid bottom placed finishes in their group, although Faroes were helped by having Andorra in their group.
Andorra were bottom of their group but only on goal difference.
San Marino were one goal shy of a round -50 for the campaign.
It's going to be interesting to see how Group D in the UEFA Nations League pans out. All 7 micronations are in that group. The complete roll call is:
Andorra, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Faroes, Georgia, Gibraltar, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova, San Marino
I fancy some of the micronations against those opponents. Kosovo really struggled in their first ever qualifying campaign last time out. Latvia have dropped points against Faroes in the past.
However, I doubt any of the micronations will top the group and get to Euro 2020.
