    From Wikipedia:

    As an overseas department of the French Republic Guadeloupe is not a member of FIFA, and therefore is not eligible to enter the World Cup. However, they are eligible for all CONCACAF and CFU competitions.

    Some useful players have either represented Guadeloupe, or have roots there:

    Guadeloupean national team players
    Miguel Comminges
    Jocelyn Angloma
    Franck Grandel
    Loïc Loval
    David Sommeil
    Stéphane Zubar
    Jean-Félix Dorothée (born in Metropolitan France.)
    Therry Racon

    French internationals from Guadeloupe or with Guadeloupe roots
    Lilian Thuram
    Thierry Henry
    Marius Trésor
    Mikael Silvestre
    Ludovic Sylvestre
    Pascal Chimbonda
    William Gallas
    Philippe Christanval
    Louis Saha
    Luc Sonor
    Sylvain Wiltord
    Nicolas Anelka
    Gael Clichy
    Eric Abidal

    You could certainly get a decent team from that lot.

    A lot of the French team have African or Caribbean (well, the French ones) roots.

    They are well fancied for the Gold Cup. They were semi finalists in 2007 and are expected to go one further this time even though the nation is not recognised by FIFA. Bermuda didn't qualify.

    The tournament is being held in the US, with the semis in Chicago and final in NY.

    May have been mentioned in the link but it was only a training camp Racon was involved with.
