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.

50 countries in a trench coat.
Mediveal kings declaring war against Austria-Hungary and Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth be like:
Why do 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and some unincorporated islands play against a country.
That sounds very unfair...
So it will be 11 vs. 22? Or will there be three nets on the field in a triangle?
It's not even fair. Bosina and Herzegovina has to play against 50 states at the same time.
And the UK plays as four separate teams.
More, if you include Isle of Man, Gibraltar, etc...
And in a way they do. Both England and Scotland qualified for the world cup this year.
Even more if you count the left country in the image as West Britannia
It would be so fucking funny if B&H could play with 22 players because of some airbud like loophole in the rulebook.
There’s nothing in the rulebook against … 22 dogs on the team.
This is the first time i saw someone write B&H for Bosnia.
Can't decide if B&H is a posh ladies wear shop, or a railroad.....
Imagine them trying, having 2 goalies as well
UK plays with 44, if all of its 4 sub-countries qualify for a tournament.
but then the other three wouldn't get to support Anyone But England.
Where would Commonwealth countries fit into this, would Canada, Australia and New Zealand also join in?
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…
Tja.

pouring out a Tito's vodka... 🥲
Jesus
You said it man. Nobody fucks with the Jesus.
No jesus was a bit earlier than the 90s.
He’s from the original 00s.
Gen A?
How about Trinidad and Tobago, though?
- St Kitts and Nevis
- Antigua and Barbuda
- South Georgia and the Sandwich Isles
- St Vincent and the Grenadines (great band name)
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.
I am from Bosnia, take me to Herzegovina
In this economy?
Wait till they find out B&H has 3 presidents their mind will be blown.
And none of them are orange, you say?
United states? Man how many states they gotta play against?
It checks out.
