Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) On a similar vein as the question about getting citizenship for a diddy country, what country with a fifa registered team has the smallest population? it'd probably be the best place to start with regard the earlier question. Micronesia, cringe. Edited June 19, 2011 by Zen Archer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a look at list of countries by population and think Montserrat has the smallest with 6000 people. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave258 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Had a look at list of countries by population and think Montserrat has the smallest with 6000 people. My geography is awful, so i don't even know where that is. however, given that only ~3000 will be male and probably no more than 1000 of those would be of an age to play (if that many), you'd still need to be pretty good to be in the top 20 players or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Does Montserrat not have an expat population owing to the volcano destroying the island? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) Montserrat is correct, although half of it is derelict due to a volcanic eruption. I read an article a few days ago on how they were struggling for numbers for their World Cup qualifier. It could be worth a shot.

It's a tiny island in the Carribbean. They're probably too busy dodging volcanic hazards and keeping themselves above the breadline to care about football. They just lost 5-2 to Belize in the first leg of a WC qualifier, but Belize might be getting turfed out by FIFA because they're refusing to provide security for the Montserrat team/officials for the second leg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how the 5 a sides goes, if we do ok we can start looking at our family trees for ways to dislodge members of the current Montserrat back four. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whack the factor 50 on by the trowel load and I'll be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I've got an interview on Wednesday and it requires a photocopy of the front cover of my passport as well as the photo page. Is the front cover just the first page? Why would anyone want a copy of that? The only thing it has on it is my passport number, but that's on the photo page as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand either, but do literally what they said, and take your passport along as back up. It's probably an outmoded tradition from old passport formats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doulikefish Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Has anyone sometimes wished they had dual citezenship with some really bad footballing nation, say San Marino or the Faroes and how much easier it would be to get a game for the national team? Better be quick,there will be no such thing as dual citizenship,if you take another countrys passport you have to give up your uk one and vice versa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit to clarify: I have numerous friends here in Oz who have a British and Aussie passport, I have relatives in the USA who have US and British passports. The only person I've heard who had to give up their original passport was a German women I used to work with who wanted Aussie citizenship.
