No, we don't.  I don't think we have a national team.  We have a team, The Islanders, that compete in a league but I think that's just it.

With 207 associations affiliated to FIFA today, world football’s governing body has rightly been dubbed the "United Nations of Football ". Between 1975 and 2002 alone, more than 60 associations were accepted as members. \n\nFIFA supports the associations financially and logistically through various programmes and grants them a number of attractive rights and privileges. But they also have obligations. As representatives of FIFA in their countries, they must respect the statutes, aims and ideals of football’s governing body and promote and manage our sport accordingly.

Since Puerto Rico is part of the US technically they are Americans as well.............Products manufactured in Puerto Rico are "Made in the USA". The people of Puerto Rico do not vote in national elections. They are represented in Congress by a Resident Commissioner who has a voice in the House of Representatives but no vote. Most federal taxes are not levied in Puerto Rico. No federal income tax is collected from island residents on ordinary income, except in cases of Federal employees.

Officially it is a "commonwealth," but it was declared a colony of the US by the United Nations in 1973. Consider this: The then autonomous island was invaded by US forces after the Hispanoamerican war in 1899. Companies that set up shop there do not pay taxes. Its residents do not vote for President, only for a governor. Its "senator" is not able to vote. The US has five military bases in the island and has been drafting Puerto Ricans to Korea, and Vietnam; and sending them to the Gulf War and Irak since the citizenship was imposed in 1947. For these and other reasons, many Puerto Ricans favor statehood. Can you blame them?

They, Puerto Rico,  have their own constitution, laws and their own supreme court. Due to their political association with the US as a self governing commonwealth some US federal laws apply.

All countries, whether it be a huge soccer nation like Brazil, or a smaller one like Togo, need to qualify for the World Cup by participating in the qualification process, which basically means playing other teams in their region.  For example, if Grenada qualified for the World Cup, they would have to play other teams in CONCACAF- a region that includes teams like the USA, Mexico, Canada, Honduras, and others.  World Cup Qualifying is a process that is over a year long with various rounds that gradually have less and less teams playing, until only a select top few from each region (CONCACAf, UEFA, CONMEBOL, etc.) go on to play at the World Cup.
