if the West Indies had a unified team

You're not even close. Lens isn't actually eligible for Suriname either.

 

A bad idea that will never work! You should know that the West Indies team in cricket was based in a purely colonial idea from Great Britain! I believe we must respect the souvereignty of each country constitues the CFU! Otherwise, why not create a selection of the European Union?

 

Since when is Puerto Rico part of the West Indies?

 

I'm with Gwadaboyz.It's never going to happen and also impossible to introduce such an idea.Most Carribbean countries are sovereign and it would be unacceptable for each CFU member to give up their pride and their dignity.It's also against all regulations of the FIFA,i think we all know that.

 

Jamaica was able to reach a world by itself,same counts for Trinidad & Tabago,so why do we need other Caribbean players?I also agree with Gwadaboyz and Surinamese,it's unacceptable.Each Caribbean nation has its own goals and it would be an insult to the entire Caribbean presenting such plan like this.

 

Agree.

 

Now,i do understand why you have listed those footballplayers here,with such a united Carribbean team we could make it very difficult for the USA and Mexico and it would be a hell of a mach against those giants.But indeed not feasible.But it could be interesting,just to see for one day how it would work out

 

Ive always asked myself what a "Caribbean" national team would be like. We would rock.

 

You try to do something nice and catch a lot of poop from everyone.

It would make a nice fundraiser I would think if they played against France or England.

I can not help you since I do not know many players from the caribbean.

But hey maybe some day the lower antilles could be united, who knows.

 

I like this idea a lot and I think the West Indies would be very competitive. Obviously it's not practical (the West Indies cricket team played in 1923 when not even Jamaica or T and T were independent). The only reason they are able to play as a unified team is because they were essentially the same political entity when the team was formed.

This is my list of players. I will ignore players from bigger countries like T and T, Jamaica, Haiti etc, places that could and have made the World Cup on their own.

I don't think these guys would beat Honduras or Costa Rica, at least not this year, but they'd compete well with them. The only real hole is at Goalkeeper does anyone know any good keepers from small Carribean Islands.
