Mario Flanders U14 Cup | 2018 in Saint Martin

It seems everyone got this brilliant Saint Martin shirt from CFS at some point - and I am certainly no exception. I do struggle to find pics of it ever in use by the men's national team and while it is usually marketed as being a 2014/2015 shirt, the only picture of it I can find at all shows a U14 team from 2018. There, it was used in the Mario Flanders Cup, a tournament named after a distant relative of Ned Flanders, I assume, which was held in Saint Martin. It cost me roughly 30 Euro.

There really is not a lot more I can say about this shirt - or Saint Martin. The French typically do not like their (totally not) colonies to have any own flag, which bothers me almost as much as it probably bothers locals. And of course, the FSMA, the governing body of football in Saint Martin, came to FIFA at the wrong time and thus was rejected, much like Bonaire.
