[Today's Ross County v Morton game is off, so instead here's another thrilling installment of the Red and the Black.]
We're approaching the end of our worldwide search for soccer teams that dress like the Beano's Dennis the Menace. Only one FIFA zone left: The Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football. CONCACAF!
For reasons of who knows why there are three South American countries in CONCACAF, and we'll start with those.
Guyana. Alpha United FC: red shirt, black shorts, red socks.
Suriname. SV Excelsior: black shirt, red shorts, red socks.
French Guiana. Ne rien.
Aruba. Nothing. Curaçao. Nothing.
Trinidad and Tobago. A disappointment, considering that the national flag is red and black. They do however have Joe Public FC, one of the best club names ever.
Barbados. Insufficient data. Grenada. Insufficient data. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. System 3 FC: red jersey, black shorts, red socks. Saint Lucia. Insufficient data. Martinique. Ne rien. Dominica. Insufficient data. Why are Grenada and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines different countries? Dudes, federate those Windward Islands.
Guadeloupe. Ne rien. Montserrat. Insufficient data. Saint Kitts and Nevis. Insufficient data. Saint-Barthelemy. Ditto insufficient data. Saint-Martin. Ditto. Sint Maarten. Ditto. Oh my god, Saint-Martin and Sint Maarten are on the same island. Antigua and Barbuda. Insufficient data. Anguilla. Insufficient data. British Virgin Islands. Insufficient data. US Virgin Islands. Insufficient data. Dudes, federate those Leeward Islands, and get some data.
Puerto Rico. Oh, off the goalpost! FC Leones wear a red and black hooped jersey, red shorts, and red socks with black stripes.
Dominican Republic. Bauger FC: red jersey, black shorts, black socks.
Haiti. Nothing.
Jamaica. Arnett Gardens FC wear a red jersey, black shorts and red socks.
Cayman Islands. Nothing. Cuba. Nothing. Bahamas. Nothing. Turks and Caicos. Insufficient data. Bermuda. Nothing.
Part XIV, North America, will the final segment of The Red and The Black.

No Desmond. The wikipedia article on Joe Public lists two Marvins, though, and they play at Marvin Lee Stadium.
