Hey! We have a chance to play in the World Cup Finals.


Seriously. The Worst World Cup. Ha ha ha
On the day the World Cup final was played in 2002, the Caribbean island of Montserrat played the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan in a specially arranged match between the two lowest ranked teams in the world.

Bhutan, ranked 202nd, beat Montserrat, then ranked 203rd and last in FIFA's rankings 4-0 in front of 15,000 people at home high in the Himalayas. After the match the players got together and watched Brazil beat Germany 2-0 in the real World Cup final on TV.

FIFA's membership has now grown to 205 countries but last-placed American Samoa -- unenviably on the wrong end of a 31-0 world record defeat to Australia five years ago, will not play 204th-ranked Turks & Caicos Islands on the day of the World Cup final this year.

"It's a shame," FIFA spokesman Markus Siegler said at FIFA's daily briefing, "because it was a great occasion and there was a great documentary made about it, but there are no plans to repeat the idea."


Ando so we say goodbye to the US and Japan. France, good luck
