Concacaf can't be watching this game and still think using the rankings are a good idea, surely. El Salvador does not look like a hex team, no where near. Imagine momentarily changing places: Canada in league B with Montserrat, Dominican Rep. and St. Lucia. El Salvador in league A vs USA and Cuba. The system is so absurd that it would have been better for Canada to lose to French Guiana and tie with the US Virgin Islands to get to the hex.....

ted Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 So, as a British overseas territory, games against Montserrat don't count for the FIFA rankings right? This game had no effect on our quest for the hex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means they are the same as any other region of France. The reason why the uk territories are fifa nations is probably because the uk doesn’t have one team so the players from oversea territories don’t have a country to play for.

Yes, unfortunately, we need to stay ahead of the latter, but they have a decent chance of winning or drawing and picking up a fair number of points.

Which is different from France, where Martinique and Guadeloupe are considered part of France like Paris is considered part of France. The Netherland ones are considered countries within the kingdom of the Netherlands like how England and Scotland are considered countries within the United Kingdom.

I think Jamaica deserves some more respect I think they’re the 4th best team right now based off results and they have Leon Bailey on board.
