Would Palace beat San Marino?

.err - yes. As would any Premier League or Championship side. They have one professional player.

In fairness, any Premier League team should be capable of beating San Marino. They play against teams of a higher standard week in week out.

What an odd question. I would wager more Championship teams would beat them than not, let alone Premiership teams.

We'd beat San Marino 99 times out of 100

I'd say a midtable PL team could beat most international teams outside the top 25.

I would suggest that a League 2 team would probably scrape it.
That's not meant as a glib putdown of the San Marino team, more as an acceptance that any fully professional team would have a huge advantage over them.

There's a handful of Confrence sides who'd give those no-hope, tinpot rank amateurs a close game.
However, they'd still probably beat San Marino

You see I think the answer is no.
And I'll tell you for why. One is an international team and the other is a club team. They will never play each other. Therefore I do not believe that Palace would beat San Marino.
I hope that's cleared that up.

England would do well to give the newer members some game time in this one. Although forwards wouldn't want to miss out on a buffet match.
As for Estonia, we can't underestimate them at home. They drew with Netherlands in the last qualifiers, with only an injury time penalty saving the Dutch.

I think Palace would give England a run for their money.

Not at all. We played Cyprus in a pre-season friendly once. Beat them 6-0 I think.

I'm not sure that we have ever played Cyprus, but we have played a Gibraltar XI, a Nigerian XI, the East German Olympic squad, Israel and New Zealand.

Pretty sure it was Cyprus - back in the 70's - but can't find any confirmation.
