Yes, I love imageposts. It's true when they say that a picture says more than 1000 words.

I don't think you guys are getting it - American Samoa have never been above 2nd last in the world rankings, and have been pushed from 195th to 206th by new teams joing the federation. They have never won a match, as San Marino and Andorra have.

but i'm still convinced that american samoa would make some goals against belgium! San Marino always does, and they make usually about 2 Goals per year :P

i once saw an epic game on national geographic: montserrat vs. bhutan, it was the game for 'not being last in the ranking' bhutan won.

Football is merely an excuse for more racing (SF).

As far as rejectful teams, Thailand lost to South Korea 92-0 during the 1998 Asia-Oceanic U18 Ice Hockey Championships. Not very good at all.

I'd imagine some of these teams would be worse than American Samoa or Montserrat: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nf_board

I don't know what Rule 36 is, but if Rule 34 would be applied to F1 it would probably involve Virgins in some way or another...

Rule 56.5 is a bit unfair to Mazzacane. What did Minardi ever do to the person who created these rules, huh?
