Sometimes, life just isn’t fair. Imagine for a moment that you are Liechtenstein. You’re all revved up for your first Euro 2012 qualifying match, and feeling confident. Sure, you’ve taken some beatings, but remember – in the Euro 2008 qualifiers, you beat both Latvia and Iceland. Not too shabby for a little guy. Then you look at your first opponent, and it’s World Cup champions Spain. That has to take a little wind out of your sails.
Or imagine for a moment you are the Most Serene Republic of San Marino. Due to your tiny size and ridiculously non-threatening name, you have been a UEFA punching bag for as long as anyone can remember. Your opponent, the first day out at qualifying? World Cup runners up Netherlands.
Video of the carnage below, including a hat trick from one Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, and a record-tying strike from David Villa:
Liechtenstein 0-4 Spain. Two from Torres and a goal from Villa that brings him even with Raul for Spain’s all-time top scorer:
