text: usa has about 50 states, is very big. why is it represented in fifa world cup by one national team only? my aim is to create more competition in the world cup soccer and hence bring more fun to spectators. referees have not to favour any team depending on origin! apart from team to win by goals scored, i propose fifa to employ judges which would make a panel. the panel will asses how team plays and assign points to a team according to the quality of team match. buddy,   i don't want to be insulting. 50 states, but the us is one country.  are you proposing team california, team indiana, team michigan, team rhode island.  that's absurd.  50 states that fall under one federal government, one country.  australia has something like six states no?  how many provinces does canada have?  they are one country too.  so, your aim to create more competition, is the wrong way to go.  i don't want to see divided countries.
