Here’s the fun part: England’s next match—any competitive match—might be a World Cup qualifier before 2026. These games are gloriously random. You’ll see England play San Marino in a stadium that seats fewer people than your local pub.
Quirky fact: San Marino once scored a goal against England after just eight seconds. Yes, eight seconds. That’s faster than you can find the remote. England still won 8-1, but for those eight seconds, San Marino was the greatest team on Earth.
So, while you wait for the big show, these qualifiers are little appetizers. They’re weird, they’re wobbly, and they’re pure entertainment.
