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

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 32 points 1 day ago

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

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago

50 countries in a trench coat.

[–] loke@fedia.io 194 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

At least the "United" part is a scam.

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 45 points 1 day ago

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

That reminds me of this awesome video

Apparently Dortmund did their own version more recently, and they did it with a whole stadium full of Dortmund supporters present.

[–] huppakee@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Imagine them trying, having 2 goalies as well

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

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

all four constituent countries of the uk did qualify in 1958

Mediveal kings declaring war against Austria-Hungary and Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth be like:

[–] carrylex@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

That sounds very unfair...

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Wait until you learn about France! 1,300 islands!

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

And a chunk of Brazil!

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?"

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.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 14 hours ago

Every time I recall hearing that country referenced it's been called Bosnia.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 14 hours ago

You'd be amazed at the number of Americans that think that New Mexico is in Mexico.

[–] Gregers@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

Not gonna have a pleasant read

[–] JensSpahnpasta@feddit.org 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Which is also quite interesting that you haven't heard of that country. The american military has been bombing it in the 90s.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 5 points 15 hours ago

We remember blowing up Bosnia, vaguely, but they never said the "and" on the news.

And the UK plays as four separate teams.

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

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

And in a way they do. Both England and Scotland qualified for the world cup this year.

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

[–] namingthingsiseasy@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

Sigh...Americans and their piss poor knowledge of geography.

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

You're not wrong, but I would at least look it up before tweeting. Actually I would just not tweet at all. Ever.

[–] Una@europe.pub 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And none of them are orange, you say?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Interesting. No orange presidents. That sounds lovely

I am from Bosnia, take me to Herzegovina
