The World Cup but only the WORST Nations 

Like this comment if you heard me say "hundred one thousand subscriber mark" lmao. One day I'll learn numbers.

People have this misconception that San Marino is actually the worst team in the world… I’m sure their FIFA ranking is only so low because they’re constantly playing powerhouse countries that destroy them 10-0 on a regular basis, but if San Marino was playing in the Caribbean or Oceania they would probably be better than most countries there

The battles of "I hate India more than you" and "Who's gonna be the biggest virgins" truly are grand classics we need to observe more🤣

A shame that Chad were not in the same group as the Virgin Islands.

Chad vs US Virgin Islands in the round of 16. What a legendary battle. Heartbreak for Aruba as they lose their second finals in this world cup series.

I am Somali and seeing this makes me happy every time, we might have a bad football team but we won this World Cup at least, thank you for making this video

Anyone ever heard of "The Other Final"? It was a football game (and also a documentary about said game) when the two worst ranked FIFA teams of that time, Monserrat and Bhutan, played a game against each other on the same day as the 2002 FIFA world cup final between Germany and Brazil was being played.

"Battle of who's going to be the biggest virgin between Brisitsh Virgin Islands and US Virgin Islands." That needs to be a quote that we can hit Tom with for years to come, that was absolute gold!

I think the 'Shit World Cup ' should run alongside the FIFA one in real life. I would watch that!

As a Somalian i loved watching this😆

I now can't stop laughing at the idea of an actual world cup like this happening because all the big and important teams were so occupied trying to destroy one another that they payed no attention to all of the awful teams, and they all ended up sneakily qualifying for the world cup lmao.

Honestly, the Bangladesh Pakistan rivalry is more with eachother, Bangladesh are quite friendly with India

As a somali person I'm happy we won🇸🇴

Somalia is definitely the best among those teams. They weren’t so bad when I saw them play Oman to qualify for the 2021 Arab Cup.

I don't know whether I should be happy or sad that Malta didn't feature. It's both saying that we're not one of the worst, but we also missed out on a golden opportunity to win something (all be it in the virtual world)

My Grandad is from Gibraltar so I was rooting for Gibraltar also. We had a good run getting to the semi finals 😂 It was a good bit of fun this video, I enjoyed it. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇮

Aruba is one of the countries in the Kingdom of the Netherlands - I wonder if that helped them, presumably having some Dutch league players qualified for them

It's actually interesting the fact that countries with huge population such as Pakistan and Bangladesh can produce teams with comparable strength to micronations with a few thousand inhabitants

Finally my 🇸🇴 wins a world cup 😂😂 let's go

Bangladesh and Pakistan are two of the most populated countries yet they’re so bad at football while Croatia with 3 million people have consecutive top 4 finishes at World Cup

Hey Tom, i've maybe got a fun video/series idea. a Career Re-Simulation of failed wonderkids, for example you put a 16 year old Balotelli(Alen Halilović, Zakaria Bakkali) back on his club where initially started his career at and see if his career would take the same route or if it would end up realy different than it initially did.

Great video as always! I thought Liechtenstein would win it, because their best club FC Vaduz actually doing decent in the Second Swiss League with at least some players from Liechtenstein. Funny enough FC Vaduz play international almost every year, because they mostly win the Cup competition in Liechtenstein even though they play in the Second Swiss League😅

Hey I am happy with Mauritius being in the quarter finals. I didnt even think they would top their groups

As Tchadian(Chad) myself, we have huge potentielt but unfortunately a corrupt regime are ruining everything. Most of our players either represent other countries(France, Canada and Austrialia, mostly) because of it.

The biggest shock is the idea that Australia would host and then play the World Cup final in Brisbane

Fun fact: Denzel Dumfries has played 2 games for Aruba

Predictions, as someone who has done saves in some of these nations, and even coached the national team for San Marino during a Tre Penne save: Group A - 1.) Sri Lanka - 2.) Mongolia - 3.) Somalia - 4.) Caymen Islands Group B - 1.) Laos - 2.) East Timor - 3.) Turks & Caicos Islands - 4.) Bangladesh Group C - 1.) Liechtenstein - 2.) Macau - 3.) British Virgin Islands - 4.) American Samoa Group D - 1.) San Marino (rooting for you lads) - 2.) Dominica - 3.) Djibouti - 4.) Eritrea Group E - 1.) Brunei - 2.) Tonga - 3.) Sao Tome & Principe - 4.) US Virgin Islands Group F - 1.) Gibraltar - 2.) Pakistan - 3.) Chad - 4.) Bahamas Group G - 1.) Guam - 2.) Mauritius - 3.) Aruba - 4.) Cook Islands Group H - 1.) Samoa - 2.) Bhutan - 3.) Anguilla - 4.) Seychelles Predicting the winner of the whole thing to be Gibraltar, they seem a lot stronger than they should be in my saves. Also, is Malta missing from this list, or is it really rated higher than all these nations? Would be cool to see a World Cup experiment with only non-Fifa nations (Zanzibar, all the French territories, Kiribati, etc.), you'd probably get to see Kiribati play on their sand pitch if you watched the highlights. Not sure there's enough of these for a whole replacement, probably enough for a mini-tournament though. EDIT: I'm shocked that Sri Lanka didn't make it out of their group, I know they're pretty awful in real life, but I figured they would have more good real players than the other nations in FM to populate their team. Somalia making it out of the group didn't surprise me, I was pretty fuzzy on my 2-4 placement, but them going all the way sure did. Favorites for me were Gibraltar -> Liechtenstein -> San Marino, since the game obviously has much more real players to pick from to make great national teams for the European teams. I was debating where to place Aruba, but never predicted them making it to the finals either. Oh also, another probably-dumb idea for a World Cup, but maybe every island nation in one tournament? Would probably be more than 32 teams so I don't blame you if you don't know how to/can't set that up.

Honestly this is what I miss about the 2010 and 2014 special world cup editions of fifa. ive got out of fifa games nowadays but, man, those games were so fun to simulate stuff on during the actual world cup, I just remember it being a few weeks of massive fun. Fifa ratings are very iffy though as we've seen other youtubers investigate, fifa asked some lower ranked club teams to rate themselves, and thats where the lowest actual ranked club teams ratings came from!

It would be even better if they actually deliberately tried to lose and be the de facto 'worst team'. Like each time is trying to prevent the other team and their goalkeeper from scoring in their own net. Kind of like reverse football. It would almost be an entirely different game haha

Ill remember back in days...like at late 90s or so when we arranged similar tournaments with friends. It was actually fun to play with some crappy team. But you simulated, so it gives a bit more accurate results based on the team stats.

It would actually be really interesting to watch this WC if it would really happen.

As a morrocan im so proud of my country after their improvement

Seeing that video, I wish we would get a FIFA World Cup, where every single nation is playing. Yes, I know there are qualifiers, but I really mean, all nation in the group stage etc. This would be interesting and there would be many surprises for sure.

Man, when I saw "worst" country, I immediately thought of my country. And surprise, surprise, it is there. And of course Brunei doesn't make it out as usual.

Man has learned to respect Curacao but he's still sleeping on their neighbor, Aruba 😤 The island countries in CONCACAF are always gonna be sneaky good when you least expect it.

As a Somalian I can confirm this is true 100%

Congrats to the Dutch...oh wait, that was Zealand's version of this World Cup on Twitch. It's fun seeing the differences between the tournaments of who made noise in one and went out early in the other. As for the penalty in the final, his left foot was in the box when the push happened, so while a bit cheeky a penalty is the right call.

This is actually more interesting than the real world cup

I watched on with dread, half expecting to see my beloved Belize in those groups. For once, I'm glad they didn't make it to something

a few considerations for these nations I've discovered while looking at FIFA's ranking: +Mauritius, Chad, Macau and Mongolia are the highest ranked of them currently (180-183) -San Marino, Anguila, British Virgin, US Virgin are the lowest ranked currently (211-208) +Best average position are for Liechtenstein (154), Mauritius (155), Chad (159) and Bangladesh (160) -Worst average position are for Anguila (201), Gibraltar (200), American Samoa (196) and Turks-US Virgin (195 both) +Best highest ever positions are for Chad (97), Bangladesh (110), Mauritius-Aruba (112 both) -Worst highest ever positions are for Gibraltar (190), Anguila (189), Djibouti (169) and Cook (166) +Best lowest ever positions are for Chad (190), Laos (194), Bangladesh (197), Dominica-Liechtenstein (198 both -Worst lowest ever positions are for San Marino-Turks-Tonga (211 the three) and Anguila-Bahamas (210 both) +highest Transfermarkt value: Bangladesh (2,73M€), Gibraltar (2,25M€), Chad (1,93M€) and Laos (1,71M€) -lowest Transfermarkt value: Anguila, Bahamas, Aruba, Tonga, American Samoa and Dominica (0M€) +Gibraltar is the only one that have their own league in FM The current rankings are from right now, so this may differ from FM23 data

I am sure this world cup version will garner as much attention as the top 32. Let's go Brunei! 😁

Abel Gigli in Somalia is Italian born defender played also in Seria A with Parma, Luis Leal is a big number 10 in Sao Tome & Principe played everywhere around the world, Cook Island don't play an official match from 2015 for the Oceania 2018 world cup qualification. Amazing Video

Haven’t watched the vid yet I BEEN asking for this so thank you! SOMALIA ALL THE WAY 🇸🇴 !!! EDIT: COME ON 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 LOVE TO SEE IT QUALITY VID 😂

As a Caymanian, I am stunned we made it to the semis

I really like these World Cup experiments. It would be good if you could show us the in-game odds (season preview) after introducing the groups.

I figured San Marino or Liechtenstein would go a little further than they did in this edition of the World Cup. San Marino has a legendary journeyman status of constantly going up against big dog/powerhouse countries, while having access to legitimate training facilities and talent. Liechtenstein on the other hand has the financial backing and decent infrastructure to nourish and pull talent from neighboring countries.

I feel like Belgium has pretty clearly proven that FIFA rankings do not equate to a team being the best objectively

That is so sad for Bangladesh. Here in Argentina we have been watching them support our team, is we start sending them coaches and players

hey my friend! your video has inspired me to also start experiments for theoretical world cups! it's really fun to watch such experiments. keep up the great videos!

What a shame for Pakistan and Bangladesh. Both countries with hundreds of millions of people competing with mini island nations.

Bangladesh and India actually have a real close bond. In fact, we helped them gain independence from Pakistan. No hate tho, just correcting 🍻

People think that Somalia has a bad team when really they don't. Its just their actual team is called France for some reason.

*🇸🇴Somalia:* exists *🇻🇪Venezuela:* Finally, a worthy opponent, THIS BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY

I have always been dreaming of a micro nations world cup.

Hi there! I love your FM21 simulation videos, in particular this one. It's the World Cup that everybody desires, it should be the perfect dream for any insane football lover. I have an idea for you, try to simulate an European Competion, like the old Champions Cup played with only 1 team of each European Association but represented by the botton team in the table of each 1st division league 2021/22. I would love to see which will be the best of bottom teams in Europe, from which country will be. 🙏 Thanks and greets from a Portuguese living near Girona - Catalonia. Keep up the good work with your channel !!

Can you make an Video with all little Pacific/Oceania Islands battling in the worldcup

In Somalia 🇸🇴 people are nomadic, and they don't care about soccer or football. therefore, Somalia is not interested in the time being.

In this case, shouldn't you use REVERSE RULES so whoever LOSES get to advance, because surely, the goal is to find out who would hypothetically "win" a tournament that is about finding the WORST TEAM IN THE WORLD (with the caveat they still have to play to win)

Not surprised by Aruba, being Dutch they can get some good rejects

Now I want to see this happen in real life. Sadly I don't think any of the countries are able to host a 32 teams cup, or 16 teams cup for that matter. Maybe one other country would be able to host a small friendly tournament for the bottom players.

I am very happy to see the country of my origins, Mauritius, finally in the World Cup.

Chad Vs US/British Virgin Islands. What a game could have been.

Ni a esa Copa Mundial logramos clasificar 😢🇬🇹

How would the tournament develop if you add Hong Kong and Chinese Taipei? I think. Hong Kong would win the World Cup!

I'm neither Laotian or East Timorese but I'm pretty sure East Timor finished over Laos was an upset.

Fun fact, American samoa was the team australia played when archie thompson broke the record and scored 13 goals in an international match.

You said Dominica was the first team to get zero points, but the group before them saw American Samoa with zero points, too. I could be wrong, but I think the Aruba player still had a foot in the box.

What most of them have in common is that even the baker of the village can have the chance to play in a World Cup qualifier! Something that for the “powerhouses” of football that will never happen for a baker or a teacher or a firefighter etc.

As an Mongolian, I believe in 20 years mongolia will qualify for world cup lol

Surprised Scotland aren't in there or didn't they get through the qualifiers?😀

I remember FIFA 98, I used to play against the Maldives on easy all the time. Maldives had a player named Moses. I had a blast

Yo Bangladesh is back but we are so bad man. It is because of our cricket culture.We were ahead of Croatia once. But we lost and went backwards. 😥😥 Thank you though. ❤️

You gotta add the Vatican. The pope just prays and wins immediately

I think this would actually be a really fun mod for a save - a Fifa bad cup that runs alongside the world cup with the bad teams

Thanks from EAST TIMOR 🇹🇱🙏

tfw Tom said 0 curse words on that blurred/beeped section lol

Let's be fair, Somalia actually has quite a good experience in shooting and capturing the gold...

1:09 too smooth, +1 sub 👍

Bangladeshis generally do not hate India, India was actually involved in Bangladeshi independence in 1971. Well there are some border issues, but most of them have been sorted peacefully. Its more of rivalry with each other rather than with India.

How about a video for the top 32 ranked "Unofficial football World champions" the list is on Wikipedia and is ironically topped by Scotland and then England 🤣✌

These are the sort of groups England get normally 🤣

Sad that our Dutch brother didn’t win the championship

Nah, Aruba guys leg was definitely in the box when the foul happened. If England fans are gonna claim Kane was in the box, Aruba definitely was

As a European, I feel that this tournament would actually be possible to organise, with the chance for respective football representations to make some funds off this kind of tournament This could be even done in one single country in Europe

"Who's gonna be the biggest virgin" *YOU DON'T HAVE TO CUT ME OFF-*

2:33 American Samoa in the previous group also got 0 points

As a bangladeshi,The Bangladesh one is just too accurate.

I think one foot of the Aruba player was in the box so I think the penalty was fairly given

San Marino is NOT gonna be lowest-ranked after reaching the Quarter-Finals in this scenario 💀💀

Respect Aruba because they got to the finals even know it’s small and weak (no offensive)

Damn, these simulations are so accurate they account for match fixing? Sick.

Do the World Cup, but with 48 highest-ranked teams

From Vietnam: the fact that east Timor failed for AFF cup 2022 makes the result in Group B sounds hilarious ^^

You said that Dominica was the first team to finished with 0 points but that is wrong, the first team to finished with 0 points was American Samoa in Group C.

They should do a World Cup B for these teams

somalia scoring 2x in the first 10min in the semis, even though gibraltar lost its impressive they didnt just collapse there and then

As a US Virgin Islander I am sad to see by home nation soccer team be part of this list

His foot is inside the area and pirates of the Caribbean nice touch

"Look at me! Look at me! I'm the World Cup winner now!"

I was rooting for Chad lol. Youd think Chad would be a better footballing nation but, eh. They're not the worst... and that end is pretty funny. Match fixing eh? Kinda like the France Argentina match, some bullcrap to put it into extra time lol. But Karma prevailed and the better team won!
