Some geographers put Curacao, according to googles description anyways, it says South America, former Dutch colony, like Trinidad and Tobago, which is almost a stones throw from Venezuela, and vice versa, but for FIFA, they qualify with us, the CONCACAF, which is FIFA speak for Confederation of NORTH Amer., CARIBBEAN, etc, basically north america, as well as Trinidad and Tobago, who for the 2018, Russia world cup, prevented the USA from going, 1st time in like 30 years we didn't make it, we had a good streak going and a small country derailed the entire thing, such is life...
Curaçao, a Caribbean island nation, competes in North American (CONCACAF) football, making history by qualifying for its first FIFA World Cup in 2026, becoming the smallest nation by population to do so, thanks to a strong showing in CONCACAF qualifiers where they beat regional powerhouses like Jamaica, Panama, and Haiti to secure a spot alongside hosts USA, Mexico, and Canada.
I doubt in project paperclip, that we, the americans, acquired just rocket scientists, i am a designer baby, my dad wanted a mini me, a son that was like him....
Could some scientist in order to prove genetic engineering can be done, pick several small countries, and manipulate the fetus' DNA so 20 or so years later, that kid and some others would lead a country, 2 of them, to a world cup, with a population less than 200 k??? THAT would be proof, one from Africa, the other from North America...only Brazil has qualified for every last one since Uruguay in 1930, politics play a part, Mussolini 1934...that type of thing is not over, the americans like to hog stuff, including the final, which to me should be given to Canada, give to those who have not had....it is only fair, to move it around...
Two females made history, with a gene editing tool they invented, to help sick people, etc, but something like it or that itself could be used to make super athletes, what some have feared, it might have already been done, like the guy in the eddie murphy movie, when u advertise a product, manufacture it, or make a statement, u have to prove it...esp when money is involved...two countries, both islands, qualified out of the blue, a coincidence??
Take that, U.S. legal system. In a decision that reflects the views of many (but far from all) experts on genome editing, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on Wednesday awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to American biochemist Jennifer Doudna of the University of California, Berkeley, and French microbiologist Emmanuelle Charpentier of the Max Planck Institute for Infection Biology, for their 2012 discovery that a bacterial immune system called CRISPR can be repurposed to edit DNA, the molecule of heredity.
The award smashed records and made scientific history as the only science Nobel ever won by two women.
Science, i can teach anyone these skills, i will even let u pick him, so the other guy picks eddie murphy, NOT him, he isn't even sane, he is talking to himself, OH, u told me i could pick anyone, so i pick him, good luck.
science, how could u prove u could manipulate genes? pick several island nations, qualifying via different confederations, with less than a million people, it would take like 20 years, inject the mothers with stuff, fix the dna, big these days, CRISPR , etc..
That would prove it....
Trading Places is a 1983 American comedy film directed by John Landis and written by Timothy Harris and Herschel Weingrod. Starring Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy, Ralph Bellamy, Don Ameche, Denholm Elliott, and Jamie Lee Curtis, the film tells the story of an upper-class commodities broker (Aykroyd) and a poor street hustler (Murphy) whose lives intersect over the Christmas and New Year holidays when they are unwittingly made the subjects of an elaborate bet to test how each man will perform when their life circumstances are swapped.
Harris conceived the outline for Trading Places in the early 1980s after meeting two wealthy brothers who were engaged in an ongoing rivalry with each other. He and his writing partner Weingrod developed the idea as a project to star Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. When they were unable to participate, Landis cast Aykroyd—with whom he had worked previously—and a young but increasingly popular Murphy in his second feature-film role. Landis also cast Curtis against the intent of the studio, Paramount Pictures; she was famous mainly for her roles in horror films, which were looked down upon at the time. Principal photography took place from December 1982 to March 1983, entirely on location in Philadelphia and New York City. Elmer Bernstein scored the film, using Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's opera buffa The Marriage of Figaro as an underlying theme.
U cannot teach someone wall street trading skills, they need a degree in econ, go to ivy league college, etc, said one rich white dude to the other, the one who made a bet trained Eddie Murphy so well, that Eddie was almost running the place until he learned it was all a bet.....a scientific bet, i will even let u pick the person..like wow...
"Wall Street" refers to the 1983 film Trading Places, in which Murphy plays Billy Ray Valentine, a street hustler who, as part of an elaborate bet, switches lives with an upper-class commodities broker (Dan Aykroyd). The film's climax involves Valentine "bamboozling" Wall Street by using illicitly obtained, non-public government information to trade in frozen concentrated orange juice futures, leading to the creation of the real-world "Eddie Murphy Rule" regarding insider trading
