Top of the group
If I’ve done my counting right then Scotland are (at least until France play their second game) top of their Euro qualifying group. Also top of their group are Germany, after beating San Marino 13 nil. It isn’t a record isn’t a German record but it is a European Championship qualifying record, as well as being a record defeat for San Marino (the previous record was 10 – 0 against Norway in 1992). I would say impressive but since the opposition have never won a competitive match (ever!), perhaps amusing is a better word. You know there’s something badly wrong when a 62nd minute substitute gets a hat-trick.
[EDIT] Also congrats to Northern Ireland for a brilliant win over Spain (the game was 2 – 1 to Spain when I first wrote this).[/EDIT]
