Replace the US with Trinidad and Tobago and it should be an equal match.
I mean it is a pretty unusual name for a country to be honest
Like "Saint Vincent and the Grenadines"? When I first heard this term as a kid, I thought it was referring to a 50s or 60s music band.
One country, two nations?
50 countries in a trench coat.
Wars have been fought over that 'and'
As a Czech, you already know that but the brief democratic Czecho—Slovak Federation (1989-1992) also had a "Hyphen war" (actually just an argument) where Slovakia was not content with the longest hyphen available and wanted an "and" in the middle, breaking grammatical rules. Greater disagreements later resulted in the countries' peaceful dissolution on New Year's Eve 1992.
UN Peacekeeper forces, respect
Why do 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico and some unincorporated islands play against a country.
That sounds very unfair...
Wait until you learn about France! 1,300 islands!
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
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.
Which is also quite interesting that you haven't heard of that country. The american military has been bombing it in the 90s.
Not gonna have a pleasant read
Mediveal kings declaring war against Austria-Hungary and Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth be like:
It would be so fucking funny if B&H could play with 22 players because of some airbud like loophole in the rulebook.
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.
There’s nothing in the rulebook against … 22 dogs on the team.
UK plays with 44, if all of its 4 sub-countries qualify for a tournament.
all four constituent countries of the uk did qualify in 1958
Where would Commonwealth countries fit into this, would Canada, Australia and New Zealand also join in?

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.
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-Hungaria," the first man answers.
"And who will they play against?"
Da ist mir wohl jemand zuvorgekommen…
Tja.
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.
The isle of man must be shit considering they have such a small population to pick from
I mean, if he survived on the isle all on his own for this long, maybe he is very strong at football
My greatest respects to Mr. Man

Wait till they find out B&H has 3 presidents their mind will be blown.
And none of them are orange, you say?
Interesting. No orange presidents. That sounds lovely
