Guyanese or Welsh? (I know what I'd pick)

In sporting news, great news for Guyana is terrible news for Wales.

According to FIFA, the Guyana National Football Team are now the 114th best team in the world, compared to the Welsh, who have dropped 5 places to lie in a lowly 117th (the teams separated by North Korea and Haiti).

Guyana have never made it to a World Cup or CONCACAF Gold Cup (The North American and Caribbean Championships), and have a best ever record of finishing 4th in the Caribbean Cup in 1991, competing against football heavy weights such as Antigua and The Netherlands Antilles.
They boast players from teams such as England's Croydon Athletic and Cray Wanderers (.. me neither.. ) and Guyana's own Buxton United!

Compared to players such as Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey (Spurs and Arsenal respectively), Guyana shouldn't, on paper, compare, but according to the folks who run football, they not only compare, but are better!

Iechyd da!
