Am currently watching a fascinating documentary on West Indian cricket called 'Empire of Cricket'. Something I've thought about before is why isn't there a West Indian Football Team. Largely I'd guess because the football teams started to form at the time of independence and there was no pre-existing 'West Indies' team to carry on.
It is unlikely to ever happen now for any number of reasons but it would be fun to see what the various islands (and various bits of South America) could put together.... a bit like the British and Irish Lions? Or, indeed, West Indian Cricket team?
