Sitting here raging, because I don't understand why Curaçao's 3 letter code is CUW. 

 

:banghead:

If you look it up there is a long winded reason for this...

you're watching this match on ITV, you may have noticed the code for Curacao in the scoreline is 'CUW'. Fifa and other international organisations tend to avoid using 'CUR' because it's widely reserved as the tri-code for 'currency'. Why a 'W' instead? Good question... it's apparently the next unique letter set. BBC Sport coverage differs slightly, using 'CUR'.

You're welcome.

Virtually no contact at all and of course not overturned, useless pricks 

 

Not sure about virtually but physically he missed the ball and struck his leg.

You're welcome. 

 Curaçao is abbreviated as CUW based on the ISO 3116-1 standard for country codes. Specifically, it uses the "alpha-3" format, which assigns a unique 3 letter code to every country and territory in the world.

 

YOU'RE WELCOME! 🤣

EURRRGGHHH. These fuckers are gonna be annoyingly effective in this tournament

Not been true for what 14 years?

 

Quietly they’ve become England of yesteryear R16-QF level team. 
 

Think they go out to the first contender they face.

Exaggeration, they're completly dominating and you're calling them worse than shite though [emoji38]

 

This will end up 4 or 5-1

 

 

 

Again, who called them worse than shite?! :lol:

 

Their brand of football is poor and against any half decent team we'll see what they do then.

Thank you Kenny United.

 

So the W is just to make it unique? My brain doesn't like that explanation, but ok. Will quietly seeth, rather than rage.

I'm just quoting the BBC sports page mate. I've no idea truly.😆

Is that why he had to drag his foot deliberately on the ground and collapse his legs 2 seconds after the "contact"? Bullshit, modern day pen. Hate it.
