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

That sounds very unfair...

[–] grozzle@lemmy.zip 3 points 34 minutes ago

And the UK plays as four separate teams.

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

United states? Man how many states they gotta play against?

[–] SalamiDommie@lemmus.org 3 points 58 minutes ago

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.

How about Trinidad and Tobago, though?

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

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

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 hour ago

There’s nothing in the rulebook against … 22 dogs on the team.

[–] PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 1 points 31 minutes ago

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.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 51 minutes ago

Can't decide if B&H is a posh ladies wear shop, or a railroad.....

Imagine them trying, having 2 goalies as well

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?"

Da ist mir wohl jemand zuvorgekommen…

I am from Bosnia, take me to Herzegovina

Wait till they find out B&H has 3 presidents their mind will be blown.
