Fiji's major national side is ranked 199th. What's the relationship of that with their U23s and U20s qualifying for international tournaments??

Just stating their current status in world football. No more no less.

Fiji will probably win a game at Rio (by spotting that one of the opposition had fielded an ineligible player?)

Something NZ has never done in the Olympic football..

Just to humiliate NZ further.

After all, Fiji managed to win a game at the u-20 World Cup before we did...
