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

It would be so fucking funny if B&H could play with 22 players because of some airbud like loophole in the rulebook.
UK plays with 44, if all of its 4 sub-countries qualify for a tournament.
This is the first time i saw someone write B&H for Bosnia.
Can't decide if B&H is a posh ladies wear shop, or a railroad.....

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?"
oNlY 90s kIDs WiLl rEmEMbER
pouring out a Tito's vodka... 🥲
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!
Mediveal kings declaring war against Austria-Hungary and Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth be like:
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 dash 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.
But the languages are different enough to be distinct despite being largely mutually understandable (you can use Slovak in Czech courts to this day). This means there is no embarrassing doubling or tripling of legally required text like with Slovenian & Not Slovenian & Legally Distinct Not Slovenian.
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.
Antigua and Barbuda, São Tomé and Principe, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago.
Bosnia and Herzegowina is also not an unknown country.
And let’s not forget the other country with “and” in its name:
The United Kingdom of Great Britain And Northern Ireland
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
Wait till they find out B&H has 3 presidents their mind will be blown.
And none of them are orange, you say?
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.
I am from Bosnia, take me to Herzegovina
So it will be 11 vs. 22? Or will there be three nets on the field in a triangle?
In this economy?
How about Trinidad and Tobago, though?
If other countries wanted a better chance against the US they wouldn't allow us to compete as one and would make us compete as states.
In which case FL and CA would take over everything.
