FIFA 2026 WC - general

Wonder if Koba Koindredi will ever play senior international football. He’s played for France’s youth teams. Born in Djibouti and of Malagasy and New Caledonian descent, raised in Fréjus near Cannes. Plays for FC Basel on loan from Sporting Lisbon.
 
Wow big miss by Richard King, a Jamaican centre back. Plays for St Mirren alongside Keanu Baccus.
 
Jamaica scores. Ronaldo Webster’s free kick finds Bailey Cadamarteri who scores a tap-in.

All international football is worth it in my opinion. There’s nothing like representing your country. Could also help grow the team. New Cal wasn’t a FIFA member until 2004 so missed out on Christian Karembeu (who won the 1998 World Cup with France and played for various clubs including Real Madrid and played over 100 games for Nantes) and Antoine Kombouaré (who never played for France but did also play over 100 games for Nantes and for PSG). Coulda got Wesley Lautoa though who was eligible for Wallis and Futuna too (he’s retired now).

I agree too - for people like these, if the opportunity is there, why not take it - there's a reason FIFA mandates breaks now.
 
Rocky Nyikeine (New Caledonia’s goalie) is having a pretty good game! At 33 he’s never played outside the Super Ligue before. Wonder if this could put scouts on the look out for New Caledonian players.

You look at the Jamaican lineup and see all there players playing in Europe top leagues and yet they are woeful.

Yeah Jamaica are playing pretty crap. They’ve got Premier League players and are struggling to beat a team made up of players playing for either local Super Ligue clubs or lower-tier French clubs. The four exceptions (three in this squad) are Joseph Athale (Tahiti United, OFC Pro League), Angelo Fulgini (Al-Taawoun, Saudi Pro League), Jekob Jeno (Hapoel Rishon LeZion, Liga Leumit) and Jaushua (Josh) Sotirio (Hougang United, Singapore Premier League; not in this squad for some reason, injured?).
 
NC didn’t disappoint, they really took it to Jamaica as there goal was a defending error. The crowd booed at the end was funny. Anyway that was a decent match enjoyed it.
