Andorra ranks 196th, squeezed between Saint Lucia and some semi-country known as The Northern Mariana Islands." Of what importance is the geographical area of the two respective countries? Surely population is a more telling figure, and while Kazakhstan at 15m is also quite a bit larger than Andorra, Croatia, which beat Kazakhstan handily 3-0, is more than three times smaller at 4 million. Bottom line: experience and program budgets have a lot to do with success in football. The size of ones territory or population really doesn't, except to the extent that it indirectly influences the prior two. A nice entry marred by a premise that really didn't bear mentioning. “Kazakhstan, for those not in the know, is the 9th largest country in the world.
