It would be so fucking funny if B&H could play with 22 players because of some airbud like loophole in the rulebook.

    UK plays with 44, if all of its 4 sub-countries qualify for a tournament.

    This is the first time i saw someone write B&H for Bosnia.

    It's not even fair. Bosina and Herzegovina has to play against 50 states at the same time.

    Also funny: Bosnia and Herzegovina has almost exactly a 100th of the population of the USA.

    3,412,000 vs. 341,784,857

    That's almost the same population ratio as Cape Verde (526,000) and Argentina (46 million).

    Amazing. Here's more crazy statistics: that's almost exactly the ratio of the annual fuel energy consumption of a Cummins 6.7 (93,600 MJ) to your mom's yearly cig intake (88 MJ).

    Two old men sitting on a bench. One asks: "Are you going to watch the football game tonight?"
    "Who's playing," the other asks back.
    "Austria-Hungary," the first man answers.
    "And who will they play against?"

    Replace the US with Trinidad and Tobago and it should be an equal match.

    And the UK plays as four separate teams.

    More, if you include Isle of Man, Gibraltar, etc...

    The isle of man must be shit considering they have such a small population to pick from

    I really try to reach beyond my mediocre American education on international affairs. I'm ashamed to say this one will be a Google for me.

    Don't take this the wrong way, I think it's great that you're willing to learn.

    I'm just kind of at a loss for words that so many people have apparently never heard of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

    Why do 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and some unincorporated islands play against a country.

    That sounds very unfair...

    Antigua and Barbuda, São Tomé and Principe, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago.

    Bosnia and Herzegowina is also not an unknown country.

    Unfortunately we US Americans are not particularly strong on the subject of geography. We've all heard of Bosnia, but its last name was never mentioned when it was in the news. Most here have never heard of any of the islands you listed except for maybe Trinidad.

    No, you implied a reaction like the one in the post isn't weird since countries don't often have similar names. I counter the reaction is weird because Bosnia and Herzegowina isn't an obscure or never heard of country but the reaction is quite stereotypical US-american (as in "conforms to stereotypes", not in "look, typical US-american).

    So it will be 11 vs. 22? Or will there be three nets on the field in a triangle?

    That actually sounds pretty dope. Make the pitch round with walls (kinda like arena soccer), and that could be fun. You could even do something cool where each goal actually gives points to both the opposing teams so there's a more strategic dynamic to it.

    How about Trinidad and Tobago, though?

    It's the casual N-word that makes this American ngl.

    Only for people in the US who had reasonable history or world geography education.

  • source
  • [–] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

    If other countries wanted a better chance against the US they wouldn't allow us to compete as one and would make us compete as states.

    In which case FL and CA would take over everything.
