Cellar Dweller World Cup

Using the same format with the same number of teams from each region and SA there as hosts, what is the worst 32 possible teams.

Obviously it cannot just be the worst 32 teams in the world as each continent has to send its teams.

Basically, a WC involving the worst teams.

Ill post mine in a min.

The entire subcontinent MUST figure in somewhere there.

Matteh · 15-06-2010, 10:18 AM

Europe (13): Liechtenstein, Estonia, Malta, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Andorra, Faroe Islands, San Marino, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia, Moldova

Africa (5+1): South Africa, Comoros, Somalia, Guinea-Bissau, Djibouti, Sierra Leone

South America (5): Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia

Asia (4): Timor, Myanmar, Cambodia, Nepal

CONACAF (3): US Virgin Islands, Montserrat, Anguilla

Oceania (1): American Samoa

Columbia to walk that easily for mine due to the lack of some really poor South American nations.

Would probably be more entertaining than this one TBF, the teams might actually think they have a chance of winning.

Goughy · 15-06-2010, 10:43 AM

Only using teams that attempted to qualify. Wales were one of the next teams on the list to qualify for Europe. I chose Fiji as they have a play in game so cant be terrible.

What would the semi-finals look like? Group F the 'Group of Death'? Which is the worst group?

Group A
South Africa
US Virgin Islands
Malta
Ecuador

Group B
Mongolia
Columbia
Comoros
Moldova

Group C
San Marino
Anguilla
Liechtenstein
Guinea-Bissau

Group D
Armenia
Somalia
Andorra
Macau

Group E
Faroe Islands
Pakistan
Mauritius
Georgia

Group F
Venezuela
Iceland
Fiji
Kazakhstan

Group G
Lesotho
Azerbaijan
Timor-Leste
Bolivia

Group H
Belarus
Monserrat
Estonia
Peru

Zing! You got me. A copy and paste error on my part. Time to slit my wrists.

Any thoughts on who would win?

Scaly piscine · 15-06-2010, 11:47 AM

Would think it would be similar to normal World Cups, in hotter climates a South American side would win, in cooler climates more likely a European side. The South American teams are generally ranked higher but some of that is because they play their home games at altitude.

I think you would have to back South Africa. Im not saying they are the best but they have to be up there. Id have to go with them otherwise it makes a shambles of them being in the real WC.

Not consider Surinam, Guyana and French Guinea for a place?

CONCACAF members, I believe.

Actually on the day of the 2002 world cup final the two lowest ranked teams really did play each other in the other final. Bhutan beat Monseratt 4-0.

Belarus, if Hleb circa 2007 decided to turn up, or South Africa. The South American sides should be pretty good too, Bolivia beat Argentina 6-1 for example.

Any worst 32 teams would have to include most Oceanian states though

Pothas · 16-06-2010, 05:11 AM

Yeah a South American side would take this I rekon, South Africa not a bad bet though.

I wouldn't have Belarus in there. Better than Montenegro IMO.

Anyone seen the documentary 'The Other Final'? I think it was on around the time of the 2002 WC. Pretty interesting.
