Macedonia's football team could do worse than turn to the nation's two most famous heroes for a little help.
Neither Alexander the Great nor Mother Teresa of Calcutta would have gone near a football pitch but both could provide inspiration to the players of Macedonia.
Macedonians bristle at any suggestion that the conqueror of the ancient world was a Greek, while Mother Teresa was born in Macedonia of Albanian stock.
Alexander knew a thing or two about attacking formations, and his defensive ploys held off the best in their day.
And what's the use of having what amounts to your own personal national saint if you cannot ask her for a favour or two?
Although an ancient and proud kingdom, Macedonia only became an independent state again following the break-up of Yugoslavia.
