And, if its a match played in a conference competition, then it shouldnt matter who was being played, points should still be taken into consideration. Not that Guadalupe would receive many points for beating Canada, but its a conference competition, how can it not count? Or, rather, how can an unrecognized country compete?

definitely, they might have some credence if there was at least a formula or something else of that nature that went into determining just how the rankings are achieved. probably something that FIFA should consider, but they never will.
