IN WHAT WAS a fantastic week for minnows, San Marino secured their first-ever point in the European Championship qualifiers against Estonia at the weekend.
The hosts had previously lost every qualifier they competed in since entering the competition for the first time in 1990.

National holiday from here on!
What international football is all about, playing for your country with pride.
