No praise for beating minnows, England warned

By Reuters in London | China Daily | Updated: 2014-10-08 07:59

As England prepares to play San Marino, officially the joint-worst team in world soccer, at Wembley on Thursday, former manager Graham Taylor has warned the players not to expect any praise, however many goals the team wins by.

Taylor was in charge of the England team drawn against San Marino in a qualifying group for the 1994 World Cup.

His side beat it 6-0 and 7-1 but, far from receiving any credit, he was sacked after the second game, played in Bologna, Italy, for failing to reach the finals.
