"I have a football team, therefore I exist."

I'm sure Descartes would rephrase his famous though to something like the above, had he been contemporaneous of us (and tweet it as well).

These Liberlandeers need to create a proper national football team first to be recognized. Being between Croatia and Serbia, they should have no problem in getting good players.

Almost all of these European micro-states have national football teams which compete. Even Gibraltar has a team now (their home games are in Portugal). Vaticano doesn't have a team though, and I don't remember seeing Monaco as well.

Both Vatican and Monaco technically have national football teams, but neither are FIFA members and thus don't participate in international tournaments.

true that Monaco doesn't have a national team, but there is a team bearing it's name and in the principality, AS Monaco, who plays in the Ligue 1 (and will be playing the 2nd leg of the quarter finals of the champions league against Juventus)
