Why is Suriname in CONCACAF and can we give them back to COMEBOL?

Iceland is (loosely) part of Scandinavia.

 

where ignorance is bliss...

 

Re: Why is Siriname in CONCACAF and can we give them back to COMEBOL?

where did they finish this past qualifying???

nuff said.

 

Why not have a pre qualifying tournament involving the minnows with the winner getting the opportunity to get slaughtered by CONMEBOL.

 

Iceland--on the border of the American and European continental plates

Surinam--Caribbean country. Are "Baltic" or "Mediterranean" countries all islands?

"Surinamese" players playing for the Netherlands--all either born in the Netherlands (Gullit for example) or moved there as very young kids.

 

The CONCACAF giants already do it, though it isn't exactly a slaughter.

 

Why do Mexicans play the Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana ?

 

Because we make lots of money for your confederation.

 

Because Uruguayans weren't able to compete in the club tournaments in a competitive way, so they brought in the Mexican teams to spice up the tournament.

 

Iceland exists because of volcanic activity associated with the mid-Atlantic ridge. The mid-Atlantic ridge is the boundary between the European and North American tectonic plates. Geologically, Iceland is partly North American and partly European. It was settled by Norse Vikings and their slaves (especially Irish). It was a Danish colony until the First World War and retained the Danish Crown as head of state until the Second World War. It is a member of the European Economic Area and European Free Trade Association and has applied to join the European Union.

Geographically, historically, politically and economically, Iceland is European.

 

Please don't troll this thread and keep it on topic. A general warning for everyone.

 

Suriname joining COMEBOL, would be a disaster for their regional strength and themselves locally, it would be like Brazil facing the US Virgin Islands @ home.

 

I am pretty sure Surinam is ranked higher than the Virgin Islands, I could be wrong.

An SV Robinhood vs SV Transvaal derby as Libertadores final would be epic.

Hasn't SV Transvaal won a CONCACAF Cup?

You think does teams can make the Conmebol final?

If so, I guess Jaguares has a good chance.

2 in fact.

 

Because FIFA has categorically made their position known time and again that the Football Confederations do not have to correspond to geographical conventions.

 

More importantly why the **** do Surinam prevent players who move abroad to play club football from turning out for the national team? They could be a powerhouse with guys who hit 25 and realize they have no chance of playing for Holland

 

The Surinamese government is working on a legislative amendment.The Suriname Football Association is currently putting a lot of pressure on the Surinamese government at the moment.The expectation is that it will be approved in Januari or Februari 2015.
