    Thats a cool list, although I thought the number 15 was a recent signing for Arsenal.

    Must be mistaken.

    It's strange that the virgin islands are their own entity since everyone born there is a US citizen. That's like California having a national team.

    You're right... California, while crazy on it's own accord, is the only way the East Coast can balance out all the bible crazy in middle of the country... As sad as it is, we need it and it's drunk-driving, drug-addled, narcissistic superstars. So it goes.

    Hey, let's not bad-mouth California - some of our finest visitors come from there!

    Los Angeles, San Francisco, Irvine, Mountain View, San José... anyone from that part of the world want to say 'hello' at this point?!?! :-D

    It's all in good fun. Even people who live in CA realize that it's a very unique place. And I actually like it, San Fransisco is my favorite city in the US.

    Yes indeed - we're all good friends together here. And San Franciso is certainly one place *I'd* love to visit before the Grim Reaper takes back my passport...

    What about Montenegro?

    Hi Severin,

    Montenegro's football association was actually formed in 1931 although one presumes it soon became swallowed up by what became Yugoslavia.

    They only affiliated with FIFA this year.
