I'm curious what is probably the worst team of Europe. I've copied the following list from the "unofficial wooden sthingy" thread (with the correction petewaring made in a latter post), and for the results from 2007 I've searched the FIFA website:
8 3 1873 Scotland 7 3 1874 England 18 1 1879 Wales 26 2 1881 England 18 2 1882 Ireland 12 3 1887 Wales 3 3 1888 Ireland 7 2 1891 Wales 24 2 1894 Ireland 6 3 1897 Wales 24 2 1900 Ireland 22 3 1902 Wales 6 3 1905 Scotland 18 3 1905 Ireland 11 4 1908 Wales 1 3 1909 Scotland 15 3 1909 Ireland 19 3 1910 Scotland 2 4 1910 England 11 2 1911 Ireland 13 4 1912 Wales 18 1 1913 Ireland 15 2 1913 England 17 3 1913 Wales 15 3 1920 England 10 4 1920 Scotland 12 2 1921 Wales 9 4 1921 Northern Ireland 14 4 1923 Wales 16 2 1924 Scotland 1 3 1924 Northern Ireland 13 2 1926 Wales 1 3 1926 England 24 5 1926 Belgium 13 3 1927 Holland 1 5 1927 Belgium 1 4 1928 Holland 22 4 1928 Denmark 17 6 1928 Norway 18 6 1929 Finland 27 8 1929 Estonia 18 9 1929 Latvia 4 8 1930 Finland 17 6 1931 Estonia 30 8 1931 Lithuania 6 8 1932 Estonia 20 7 1933 Lithuania 10 6 1934 Latvia 30 5 1935 Lithuania 20 8 1935 Estonia 30 8 1936 Lithuania 27 8 1939 Estonia 18 7 1940 Latvia 6 9 1940 Lithuania 13 10 1940 Latvia 3 8 1942 Estonia 4 7 1993 Lithuania 29 7 1994 Estonia 5 10 1996 Belarus 7 6 1998 Lithuania 29 6 1998 Andorra 26 4 2000 Belarus 16 8 2000 Latvia 15 11 2000 San Marino 28 4 2004 Liechtenstein 13 10 2004 Luxembourg 13 10 2007 Belarus 17 11 2007 Albania 20 08 2008 Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein's last defeat was last Wednesday against Wales. Liechtenstein has no future matches scheduled yet.
If we would assume that the USSR had taken over the title from Estonia in the late 1940s (what I call the "USSR line"), the world title has left Europe in 1963 so that would take a lot more research. I'll come back on that later!

The USSR line (since 1952)
Until 1963 results are based on petewaring's previous research, from 1963 the results are from the FIFA website:
16 7 1952 Bulgaria 24 10 1954 East Germany 18 9 1955 Romania 28 9 1955 Belgium 25 12 1955 France 25 3 1956 Austria 30 9 1956 Luxembourg 8 10 1961 Portugal 16 12 1962 Bulgaria 23 1 1963 Portugal 29 4 1964 Switzerland 14 11 1964 Northern Ireland 17 3 1965 Netherlands 17 4 1966 Belgium 20 4 1966 France 22 10 1966 Poland 21 5 1967 Belgium 22 11 1967 Luxembourg 22 10 1972 Turkey 10 12 1972 Luxembourg 3 11 1973 Norway 4 9 1974 Northern Ireland 30 10 1974 Sweden 30 6 1975 Norway 8 9 1976 Switzerland 24 5 1977 Czechoslovakia 7 9 1977 Turkey 27 11 1977 Malta 5 6 1982 Iceland 5 6 1983 Malta 7 2 1988 Finland 6 9 1989 Wales 17 10 1990 Belgium 27 2 1991 Luxembourg 22 2 1995 Malta 16 8 1995 Albania 30 11 1995 Bosnia-Herzegovina 6 11 1996 Italy 22 1 1997 Northern Ireland 11 2 1997 Belgium 29 3 1997 Wales 27 5 1997 Scotland 1 6 1997 Malta 8 2 1998 Latvia 25 6 1998 Estonia 16 3 1999 Cyprus 5 9 1999 Israel 8 9 1999 San Marino
On 15/11/2000 San Marino played Latvia. From that moment the two lines were back together. So currently Liechtenstein is undoubtely the worst team of Europe.

The first match in OFC history was between Australia and New Zealand on 17/06/1922 (this is the same match, the thread of unofficial continental champions works with). Australia lost 3-1 to New Zealand, thus becomeing the first ever holder of OFC's unofficial wooden sthingy. Form there the wooden sthingy took the following journey:
09/06/1923 New Zealand 16/06/1923 Australia 05/06/1933 New Zealand 14/08/1954 Australia 28/08/1954 New Zealand 17/09/1968 Fiji 19/03/1977 Australia 27/03/1977 New Zealand 13/06/1979 Australia 26/02/1980 Papua New Guinea 08/07/1981 Fiji 16/08/1983 New Zealand 18/08/1983 Fiji 24/10/1988 Vanuatu 01/07/1989 Solomon Islands 28/10/1989 Vanuatu 05/11/1990 Papua New Guinea 20/09/1996 Vanuatu 10/09/1998 Solomon Islands 19/09/1998 Papua New Guinea 14/03/2002 Tonga 15/05/2004 Cook Islands 13/06/2009 Tonga
Since then Tonga is the current "title holder" of OFC's wooden sthingy. The next match is not yet scheduled.
(If you come across any mistakes, please let me know!)

Doesn't Tonga still have the wooden sthingy of Oceania? Or was a match played that I didn't hear about?

Yay! I'm helpful!
I find it funny that American Samoa actually doesn't have the sp00n though, as they've only won/drawn 1 match in their history, against Wallis and Futuna Islands back in 1962, when neither were in FIFA (Wallis and Futuna still isn't).

In this case, they just got lucky to never play against the current holder of the sp00n

Their women do have their continental sp00n though.
