What might have been

By the way, the wire report on the Mexico-Guadeloupe match that I linked to below reminds us that technically, the Guadeloupien team could have included Thierry Henry, Lilian Thuram, and William Gallas as well as Jocelyn Angloma. If you got in your time machine and played around with a few variables (making Guadeloupe a full FIFA member and electing Jean Marie Le Pen premier of France would probably do it), you'd have had a killer team in 1998 or so. It would have certainly made it out of the CONCACAF qualifying group that year.
