It's a record, coupled with how they've performed, would have ensured the knives were already out for them a few years ago.
However, they are at least still in it which - regardless of how it's done - is worth praise.
But given their opponents so far, two goals from open play (one a comic deflection at that) in 6.5 hours of football is little short of dismal. The game v Colombia befitted a public park.
