267(273) Hastings United not bad going that!, I work nearby their ground!. My office is like stuated underneath the stand!. Ah yes!, Shepshed Dynamo!, remember them in the FA cup in about 1997 ish, they had to play 6 games to qualify, and then went out of round 1 or 2 losing 6-0 with a bizzare own goal to start it off .

Monaco!!!, isn't there a French club called that?. Vatican!!, how many people live there to make a team!!, and also Greenland!!. Still, interesting stuff!! . Yes. Monaco have a club side that plays in the French League but they have played international friendlies (not using the club players) and compete at the Olympics (not in football.) Greenland have been trying to get FIFA status for a while. Stumbling blocks seem to be the number of real grass pitches in Greenland and their Danish connections. The Vatican played a friendly against Monaco in Italy in 2002. It finished 0-0.

Is Reunion an African country then? . It's not really a country. It's a French island colony in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar but west of Mauritius.

What does ELO rank stand for then? . It's actually Elo, not ELO. My mistake. It's a separate ranking system based on that used in chess, devised by Dr. Arpad Elo. It was adapted for football in 1997 and the rankings can be found on this website: www.eloratings.net/

Is Timor Leste an Asian island then?, it's rather interesting finding out all these non FIFA/UEFA/CAF/Asian football countries . That ranking thing is good too, the Elo system is much better than the official FIFA one!. Are American Samoa bottom of the ranking?, I know Moeserrat are in or near the bottom 2. There's this match that gets played beofre the world cup final between the bottom 2 before the world cup final. American Samoa prolly were not FIFA members back then.
