Day -647. WorldCup2018
Amongst all today's fixtures in European qualifying the most significant was the debut of Fifa's newest member, Kosovo, the country that is not really a country. Six players were cleared by Fifa just a few hours before kick off to play for Kosovo having represented other countries in the past. Valon Berisha was one of them. He played 19 times for Norway and scored the equaliser today in Kosovo's 1-1 draw in Finland.
Tomorrow another new non-country country play their first World Cup match. Gibraltar, the British Overseas Territory of 30,000 people, will probably be nowhere near as strong as Kosovo and limiting the number of goals conceded will be their objective.
