World Cup combos

What’s in a name?

I found every combination of World Cup country codes (e.g. CAN for Canada and MEX for Mexico would make CANMEX or MEXCAN etc.) and I could only find 4 English words:

  • brasco (Brazil and Scotland)
  • canned (Canada and Netherlands)
  • tunned (Tunisia and Netherlands)
  • turned (Turkey and Netherlands)

In terms of whether those teams could meet in the competition:

  • SCO vs. BRA kinda happened BUT Scotland was the designated home team so it technically didn’t count for BRASCO.
  • CAN vs. NED would be in the final
  • TUN vs. NED happened (and the Netherlands won 3–1)
