I'm not sure Guadeloupe is even a country. My atlas says it is a French Overseas Department. Only 2,880 square miles. Along with Martinique, the combined population is only 823,000.

No wonder CAN is so low in the FIFA rankings. To be fair, CAN had most of the ball in the second half, and should have scored a couple of times. GPE was accused of disgusting embellishment and time wasting by Forrest. GPE had about 4 serious "injuries" in the 2nd half, and the ref could have added 10+ minutes of injury time, instead of the 6 he gave. This is the part of soccer that drives me crazy, and I wish FIFA and CONCACAF could clean it up.

The atmosphere was electric, only because the Orange Bowl was filling up with fans for the Costa Rica- Haiti match.
