Possibility of a Cascadia National Team

As a frequent reader of this forum, this is the one thing I have never heard discussed. Could there be a Cascadia National Team to compete in international friendlies like there is with Bosque country, Kosovo, and Northern Cyprus? They would not be eligible for any FIFA tournaments. I have been here a while but not as long as the forum itself.

Uh, no. What a stupid idea.

Cascadia is a region, but no one who lives there believe they are Cascadians, they are either American or Canadian. The nations you described are places that want to be countries

there are some who want cascadia to be a country.....


...and yes i ve thought of a cascadia team...

Sometimes this forum is awesome because it collects some truly entertaining and hilarious hare-brained schemes and ideas that are so ridiculous normal mocking doesn't do them justice.

Also, what njndirish said. To add to it, many of those nations have either already been independent at one time or actively wish to become independent or have been involved in serious political breakaway movements. Cascadia is a relatively recent concoction used primarily to describe a geographic region, no doubt partly to satisfy hipster wishes to be seen as "different".

imagine it playing in the gold cup...jus sayin.

Why?

I guess Grenada would have some competition, anyway.

And winning

Anyway, this are the type of threads that you would expect from SoundersFC fans who thinks they know it all.

I wouldn't expect this from a fan of a team from NorthEast.

It will be the worst NT in the world and history

..in the world? No.
..in history? ...






















No.

Where is the bosque country?

That in the woods somewhere?

All I get on google is a country club outside Mexico City.

hahahahaaha

Already have an anthem:

Kosovo, Basque country, Northern Cyprus, Tibet etc = regions that have struggled for ages to assert their independence, against powerful controlling groups who have occupied them with significant force, while also keeping alive and maintaining their unique cultures that have spanned hundreds of years.

Yes, the Cascadia area is exactly like that.

I mean if you'd said an American Indian national team at least that would make some sense. Implausible but it still works on paper. But this... please be more up your own ass. God.

Folks in Oregon territory, as it was called then, had a plebiscite in 1843 and voted for independence.
We don't call it Oregon territory anymore, because, well, we don't want to lord it over our kin in Washington, B.C, and Idaho. And territory sounds too colonial.

Two oppressive colonial empires then fought over us instead of just letting us hunt beaver on our own and speaking Chinook Jargon.

There was even an armed conflict involving borders instigated by the Brits and Americans over About 10 square feet of island territory known as the Pig-potato War ( the pig was the only casualty). If they had left us alone, we would now be kicking back and drinking beer and lattes instead of.... Oh, wait.... That's what we do anyway.

So now we have a system where we get strip searched when we want to shop across the border the oppressors invented. All for a bag of groceries.
Have you looked at that border? Does it make sense that an American would have to drive through Vancouver to go to work from his home in America to his office in America? It seem like an un-neighborly imposition on them. That's like 500 strip seaches a year going both ways. Nobody wants that, not even the guy doing the searching unless he's a pervert. How would you like to get your prostate checked that often?


The USA commander of the Pig-potato war was George Picket, who later became famous in the US Civil war for getting his Southern kin slaughtered at Gettysburg by marching over an open field against cannon shot. Apparently he was no smarter than the pig.

remember 54:40 or fight? That was over the stupid Potato eating pig and doesn't really explain why we settled on the 49th parallel. I guess the casualties were too high.

And to show the Americans weren't the only silly ones, the Brits abandoned a perfectly good place they called Vancouver to some trappers to hightail it 200 miles north to found a community almost like it. They were so original they called it Vancouver. ( they must have taken their "Welcome to Vancouver" signs with them.)
Now people are flying all over the place by mistake and getting strip searched over that stupid idea.

Every bit of this story of oppression is true.

Yeah, yeah, and Ohio fought a war against Michigan for Toledo, of all places. I wish we could give it back sometimes.

Timbers Army....Duh.

Though it sounds like the liberation force for the Bosque Country.

Michigan won?

Apparently, back then Toledo was considered a superior prize to the Upper Peninsula.

Effectively, they did win. I will note that the war, while declared, was bloodless.

Your pigs were luckier, then.

Technically we're still a republic out here in California well at least the state flag says so lol

lets see some state leagues

were the teams play in MLS then take part of the State championship

Campeonato Californiao

nah to Brazilian lol

Never understood California and that republic thing. Why anybody would want to run around in Togas is beyond me. Must be a fraternity thing. And getting stabbed by your buddies in an arena called the Forum sounds like a poor way to die. Coluseum isn't much better.

And why do you want to ban Spanish? Are you going to change the names of all your cities?
Saint Angels just doesn't have the same ring (not to mention it makes no sense in English). And the luggage tags would have to be SAX, wouldn't they? It sounds like you labelled a musical instrument.

Sacrament, Saint Jim, Saint Franky, and hundred more sound better in the original.

The only one that makes sense is changing Yerba Linda to Nice Weed, though it might be better if you added Dude to the end.

And you have one road that runs through all of those towns and what would you have to call it? " the royal walk". Does that sound like a name for the main road in a republic? Get public transportation, dude.

Someone might want to revisit their English translation of Los Angeles.

That would make the major airport code in the region much more appropriate.
