Следующие игроки были вызваны в состав сборной главным тренером Патрисом Невё для участия в матчах Кубка Америки по футболу 2016 года, который проходил в США с 3 по 26 июня.
Матчи и голы отредактированы по состоянию на 12 июня 2016 годаКогда княжна Марья заплакала, он понял, что она плакала о том, что Николушка останется без отца. С большим усилием над собой он постарался вернуться назад в жизнь и перенесся на их точку зрения. «Да, им это должно казаться жалко! – подумал он. – А как это просто!» «Птицы небесные ни сеют, ни жнут, но отец ваш питает их», – сказал он сам себе и хотел то же сказать княжне. «Но нет, они поймут это по своему, они не поймут! Этого они не могут понимать, что все эти чувства, которыми они дорожат, все наши, все эти мысли, которые кажутся нам так важны, что они – не нужны. Мы не можем понимать друг друга». – И он замолчал.
Маленькому сыну князя Андрея было семь лет. Он едва умел читать, он ничего не знал. Он многое пережил после этого дня, приобретая знания, наблюдательность, опытность; но ежели бы он владел тогда всеми этими после приобретенными способностями, он не мог бы лучше, глубже понять все значение той сцены, которую он видел между отцом, княжной Марьей и Наташей, чем он ее понял теперь. Он все понял и, не плача, вышел из комнаты, молча подошел к Наташе, вышедшей за ним, застенчиво взглянул на нее задумчивыми прекрасными глазами; приподнятая румяная верхняя губа его дрогнула, он прислонился к ней головой и заплакал. С этого дня он избегал Десаля, избегал ласкавшую его графиню и либо сидел один, либо робко подходил к княжне Марье и к Наташе, которую он, казалось, полюбил еще больше своей тетки, и тихо и застенчиво ласкался к ним. Княжна Марья, выйдя от князя Андрея, поняла вполне все то, что сказало ей лицо Наташи. Она не говорила больше с Наташей о надежде на спасение его жизни. Она чередовалась с нею у его дивана и не плакала больше, но беспрестанно молилась, обращаясь душою к тому вечному, непостижимому, которого присутствие так ощутительно было теперь над умиравшим человеком.
Князь Андрей не только знал, что он умрет, но он чувствовал, что он умирает, что он уже умер наполовину. Он испытывал сознание отчужденности от всего земного и радостной и странной легкости бытия. Он, не торопясь и не тревожась, ожидал того, что предстояло ему. То грозное, вечное, неведомое и далекое, присутствие которого он не переставал ощущать в продолжение всей своей жизни, теперь для него было близкое и – по той странной легкости бытия, которую он испытывал, – почти понятное и ощущаемое. Прежде он боялся конца. Он два раза испытал это страшное мучительное чувство страха смерти, конца, и теперь уже не понимал его. Первый раз он испытал это чувство тогда, когда граната волчком вертелась перед ним и он смотрел на жнивье, на кусты, на небо и знал, что перед ним была смерть. Когда он очнулся после раны и в душе его, мгновенно, как бы освобожденный от удерживавшего его гнета жизни, распустился этот цветок любви, вечной, свободной, не зависящей от этой жизни, он уже не боялся смерти и не думал о ней. Чем больше он, в те часы страдальческого уединения и полубреда, которые он провел после своей раны, вдумывался в новое, открытое ему начало вечной любви, тем более он, сам не чувствуя того, отрекался от земной жизни. Всё, всех любить, всегда жертвовать собой для любви, значило никого не любить, значило не жить этою земною жизнию. И чем больше он проникался этим началом любви, тем больше он отрекался от жизни и тем совершеннее уничтожал ту страшную преграду, которая без любви стоит между жизнью и смертью. Когда он, это первое время, вспоминал о том, что ему надо было умереть, он говорил себе: ну что ж, тем лучше. Но после той ночи в Мытищах, когда в полубреду перед ним явилась та, которую он желал, и когда он, прижав к своим губам ее руку, заплакал тихими, радостными слезами, любовь к одной женщине незаметно закралась в его сердце и опять привязала его к жизни. И радостные и тревожные мысли стали приходить ему. Вспоминая ту минуту на перевязочном пункте, когда он увидал Курагина, он теперь не мог возвратиться к тому чувству: его мучил вопрос о том, жив ли он? И он не смел спросить этого.
Болезнь его шла своим физическим порядком, но то, что Наташа называла: это сделалось с ним, случилось с ним два дня перед приездом княжны Марьи. Это была та последняя нравственная борьба между жизнью и смертью, в которой смерть одержала победу. Это было неожиданное сознание того, что он еще дорожил жизнью, представлявшейся ему в любви к Наташе, и последний, покоренный припадок ужаса перед неведомым. Это было вечером. Он был, как обыкновенно после обеда, в легком лихорадочном состоянии, и мысли его были чрезвычайно ясны. Соня сидела у стола. Он задремал. Вдруг ощущение счастья охватило его. «А, это она вошла!» – подумал он. Действительно, на месте Сони сидела только что неслышными шагами вошедшая Наташа. С тех пор как она стала ходить за ним, он всегда испытывал это физическое ощущение ее близости. Она сидела на кресле, боком к нему, заслоняя собой от него свет свечи, и вязала чулок. (Она выучилась вязать чулки с тех пор, как раз князь Андрей сказал ей, что никто так не умеет ходить за больными, как старые няни, которые вяжут чулки, и что в вязании чулка есть что то успокоительное.) Тонкие пальцы ее быстро перебирали изредка сталкивающиеся спицы, и задумчивый профиль ее опущенного лица был ясно виден ему. Она сделала движенье – клубок скатился с ее колен. Она вздрогнула, оглянулась на него и, заслоняя свечу рукой, осторожным, гибким и точным движением изогнулась, подняла клубок и села в прежнее положение. Он смотрел на нее, не шевелясь, и видел, что ей нужно было после своего движения вздохнуть во всю грудь, но она не решалась этого сделать и осторожно переводила дыханье. В Троицкой лавре они говорили о прошедшем, и он сказал ей, что, ежели бы он был жив, он бы благодарил вечно бога за свою рану, которая свела его опять с нею; но с тех пор они никогда не говорили о будущем. «Могло или не могло это быть? – думал он теперь, глядя на нее и прислушиваясь к легкому стальному звуку спиц. – Неужели только затем так странно свела меня с нею судьба, чтобы мне умереть?.. Неужели мне открылась истина жизни только для того, чтобы я жил во лжи? Я люблю ее больше всего в мире. Но что же делать мне, ежели я люблю ее?» – сказал он, и он вдруг невольно застонал, по привычке, которую он приобрел во время своих страданий. Услыхав этот звук, Наташа положила чулок, перегнулась ближе к нему и вдруг, заметив его светящиеся глаза, подошла к нему легким шагом и нагнулась. – Вы не спите? – Нет, я давно смотрю на вас; я почувствовал, когда вы вошли. Никто, как вы, но дает мне той мягкой тишины… того света. Мне так и хочется плакать от радости. Наташа ближе придвинулась к нему. Лицо ее сияло восторженною радостью. – Наташа, я слишком люблю вас. Больше всего на свете. – А я? – Она отвернулась на мгновение. – Отчего же слишком? – сказала она. – Отчего слишком?.. Ну, как вы думаете, как вы чувствуете по душе, по всей душе, буду я жив? Как вам кажется? – Я уверена, я уверена! – почти вскрикнула Наташа, страстным движением взяв его за обе руки. Он помолчал. – Как бы хорошо! – И, взяв ее руку, он поцеловал ее. Наташа была счастлива и взволнована; и тотчас же она вспомнила, что этого нельзя, что ему нужно спокойствие. – Однако вы не спали, – сказала она, подавляя свою радость. – Постарайтесь заснуть… пожалуйста. Он выпустил, пожав ее, ее руку, она перешла к свече и опять села в прежнее положение. Два раза она оглянулась на него, глаза его светились ей навстречу. Она задала себе урок на чулке и сказала себе, что до тех пор она не оглянется, пока не кончит его. Действительно, скоро после этого он закрыл глаза и заснул. Он спал недолго и вдруг в холодном поту тревожно проснулся. Засыпая, он думал все о том же, о чем он думал все ото время, – о жизни и смерти. И больше о смерти. Он чувствовал себя ближе к ней.

1. Гренадеры – A grenadier was originally a specialized soldier, first established as a distinct role in the mid-to-late 17th century, for the throwing of grenades and sometimes assault operations. At that time grenadiers were chosen from the strongest and largest soldiers, certain countries such as France and Argentina established units of Horse Grenadiers and for a time the British Army had Horse Grenadier Guards. Like their infantry counterparts, these horse-mounted soldiers were chosen for their size. These soldiers operate as part of a fireteam, the concept of throwing grenades may go back to the Ming China, when Chinese soldiers on the Great Wall were reported to be using this weapon. The earliest references to these soldiers in Western armies come from Austria. References also appear in England during the English Civil War, however, it was King Louis XIV of France who made the grenadier an official type of soldier and company during his army reforms late in the 17th century. According to René Chartrand, Lt. Col. Jean Martinet introduced the idea of having men detailed to throw grenades in the Régiment du Roi in 1667 and their clothing being likewise piebald, yellow and red. The first grenades were small iron spheres filled with gunpowder fused with a length of slow-match, understandably, such requirements led to grenadiers being regarded as an elite fighting force. The wide hats with broad brims characteristic of infantry during the late 17th century were discarded and replaced with caps and this was originally to allow the grenadier to sling his musket over his back with greater ease while throwing grenades. Additionally, a brimless hat permitted the greater ease in throwing the grenade overhand. By 1700, grenadiers in the English and other armies had adopted a cap in the shape of a bishops mitre, in addition to grenades, they were equipped with contemporary longarms. The uniform included a tube that held the match for lighting the fuse. Grenade usage declined significantly in the early 18th century, a fact that can be attributed to the effectiveness of massive infantry line tactics. However, the need for assault troops remained, and the existing grenadier companies were used for this purpose. As noted, above average physical size had been considered important for the grenadiers and, in principle, height. In the British regiments of foot during the 18th century the preference was, however, the traditional criterion of size was only resorted to when newly raised regiments required a quick sorting of a mass of new recruits. Transferral to a company generally meant both enhanced status and an increase in subsistence pay. Whether for reasons of appearance or reputation, grenadiers tended to be the showpiece troops of their respective armies, when a regiment was in line formation the grenadiers were always the company which formed on the right flank
2. КОНКАКАФ – Three South American entities—the independent nations of Guyana and Suriname and the French department of French Guiana—are also members.

4. Рейтинг сборных ФИФА – The rankings were introduced in December 1992, and eight teams have held the top position, of which Brazil have spent longest ranked first. A points system is used, with points being awarded based on the results of all FIFA-recognised full international matches, the ranking system was most recently revamped after the 2006 World Cup, with the first edition of the new series of rankings issued on 12 July 2006. The most significant change is that the rankings are now based on results over the four years instead of the previous eight years. Alternative systems have been devised, such as the World Football Elo Ratings, based on the Elo rating system used in chess and Go, ranking teams. In December 1992, FIFA first published a listing in order of its member associations to provide a basis for comparison of the relative strengths of these teams. From the following August, this list was more frequently updated, significant changes were implemented in January 1999 and again in July 2006, as a reaction to criticisms of the system. Membership of FIFA has expanded from 167 to 209 since the rankings began, the ranking formula used from August 1993 until December 1998 was very simplistic and quickly became noticed for its lack of supporting factors. When the rankings were introduced, a team received one point for a draw or three for a victory in FIFA-recognised matches – much the same as a traditional league scoring system. This was a simplistic approach, however, and FIFA quickly realised that there were many factors affecting international matches. In order to meet the objective of fairly and accurately comparing the strengths of various national sides. In January 1999, FIFA introduced a system of ranking calculation. For the ranking all matches, their scores and importance were all recorded, only matches for the senior mens national team were included. Separate ranking systems were used for other national sides such as womens and junior teams. The womens rankings were, and still are, based on a procedure which is a version of the Football Elo Ratings. FIFA announced that the system would be updated following the 2006 World Cup. The evaluation period was cut from eight to four years, goals scored and home or away advantage are no longer taken into account, and other aspects of the calculations, including the importance attributed to different types of match, have been revised. The first set of revised rankings and the methodology were announced on 12 July 2006. This change is rooted at least in part in widespread criticism of the ranking system
5. Сборная Ямайки по футболу – The Jamaica national football team is controlled by the Jamaica Football Federation, the governing body for football in Jamaica. A member of CFU and CONCACAF, Jamaica has won the Caribbean Cup six times, with their latest win being the 2014 Caribbean Cup when they have beat Trinidad and Tobago in the finals. Jamaica finished as the runner-up in the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Jamaica qualified once for the FIFA World Cup, in 1998. It is, along with the United States, Honduras and Costa Rica, Jamaicas first international appearance was against their Caribbean neighbours Haiti in 1925. They were invited to the French-speaking Caribbean island by Andre Chevalon, president of the United Sporting Society, Jamaica won all three games by 1–0, 2–1 and 3–0. The following year Jamaica hosted Haiti at Sabina Park and won by 6–0, Haiti remained frequent opponents and it was not until 1932 that their run of defeats was broken with a 4–1 home win in Port-au-Prince. The Caribbean All Star team included such notables as Michael Kruin from Suriname and also representing Jamaica were Lindy Delapenha, the four games were shared equally with Jamaica winning the second 2–1 and the fourth 1–0 and the All Stars winning the first 5–1 and the third 1–0. Those friendly international games were the start of Jamaicas football journey with most of the matches being played at Sabina Park. Many clubs were established during this time including Kensington, Melbourne, Kingston, Lucas and St. Georges Old Boys, in 1965, under the leadership of Brazilian coach Jorge Penna, Jamaica made its first attempt at World Cup qualifying. This was for the 1966 World Cup finals in England, the preliminary group included Cuba and the Netherlands Antilles. Jamaicas first game was against Cuba which they won 2–0 at Jamaicas National Stadium, in the qualifying match against the Netherlands Antilles, Jamaica also had a 2–0 victory with both goals coming. In the away games Jamaica was held to a draw with the Netherlands Antilles. Jamaica then advanced to the group of 3 which included Costa Rica. The winner in this group would represent the CONCACAF region, Jamaica lost at home to Mexico 3–2 and in the return leg in Mexico City, the high altitude proved too much for the Jamaicans and they were defeated 8–0. In 1968, coach George Hamilton took leadership as Jamaica made an attempt to qualify for the 1970 World Cup Finals in Mexico. Jamaica had only a couple remaining players from the previous World Cup team and had to rebuild because most of the players had retired or migrated to North America, Jamaica lost all of their qualifying games in that year. Jamaicas participation in the 1973 CONCACAF Championship qualification elimination saw the suspension of 17 players on the team because of poor behaviour on a tour to Bermuda, Jamaica withdrew from the elimination to restructure their team.

6. Республика Гаити – Haiti, officially the Republic of Haiti and formerly called Hayti, is a country located on the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean Sea. It occupies the western three-eighths of the island, which it shares with the Dominican Republic, the region was originally inhabited by the indigenous Taíno people. Spain discovered the island on 5 December 1492 during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic, when Columbus initially landed in Haiti, he had thought he had found India or Asia. On Christmas Day 1492, Columbus flagship the Santa Maria ran aground north of what is now Limonade, the island was named La Española and claimed by Spain, which ruled until the early 17th century. Competing claims and settlements by the French led to the portion of the island being ceded to France. The development of plantations, worked by slaves brought from Africa. Upon his death in a prison in France, he was succeeded by his lieutenant, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the Haitian Revolution lasted just over a dozen years, and apart from Alexandre Pétion, the first President of the Republic, all the first leaders of government were former slaves. The Citadelle Laferrière is the largest fortress in the Americas, Henri Christophe – former slave and first king of Haiti, Henri I – built it to withstand a possible foreign attack. It has the lowest Human Development Index in the Americas, most recently, in February 2004, a coup détat originating in the north of the country forced the resignation and exile of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. A provisional government took control with security provided by the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti, the name Haïti comes from the indigenous Taíno language which was the native name given to the entire island of Hispaniola to mean, land of high mountains. The h is silent in French and the ï in Haïti, is a mark used to show that the second vowel is pronounced separately. In English, this rule for the pronunciation is often disregarded, the name Haïti was restored by Haitian revolutionary Jean-Jacques Dessalines as the official name of independent Saint-Domingue, as a tribute to the Amerindian predecessors. The Taíno name for the island was Haiti. The people had migrated over centuries into the Caribbean islands from South America, genetic studies show they were related to the Yanomami of the Amazon Basin. They also originated in Central and South America, after migrating to Caribbean islands, in the 15th century, the Taíno were pushed into the northeast Caribbean islands by the Caribs. In the Taíno societies of the Caribbean islands, the largest unit of organization was led by a cacique, or chief. The caciquedoms were tributary kingdoms, with payment consisting of harvests, Taíno cultural artifacts include cave paintings in several locations in the country. These have become symbols of Haiti and tourist attractions
7. Порт-о-Пренс – Port-au-Prince is the capital and most populous city of Haiti. The citys population was estimated at 987,310 in 2015 with the area estimated at a population of 2,618,894. The metropolitan area is defined by the IHSI as including the communes of Port-au-Prince, Delmas, Cite Soleil, Tabarre, Carrefour, and Pétion-Ville. The city of Port-au-Prince is on the Gulf of Gonâve, the bay on which the city lies and it was first incorporated under French colonial rule in 1749. The citys layout is similar to that of an amphitheatre, commercial districts are near the water, the city was catastrophically affected by a devastating earthquake in 2010, with large numbers of structures damaged or destroyed. Haitis government estimated the toll to be 230,000. It is said that a captain named de Saint-André named the area in 1706, after he sailed into the bay in a ship named Le Prince, hence Port-au-Prince to mean, Port of the Le Prince. However, the port and the region continued to be known as Hôpital. It was later renamed back to Port-au-Prince by Jacques I, Emperor of Haiti, when Haiti was divided between a kingdom in the north and a republic in the south, Port-au-Prince was the capital of the republic, under the leadership of Alexandre Pétion. Henri Christophe renamed the city Port-aux-Crimes after the assassination of Jacques I at Pont Larnage, prior to the arrival of Christopher Columbus, the island of Hispaniola was inhabited by people known as the Taíno, who arrived in approximately 2600 BC in large dugout canoes.

He, like his predecessors, feared settling too close to the coast, such settlements would have proven to be tempting targets for the Caribes, instead, the region served as a hunting ground. The population of the region was approximately 400,000 at the time, with the arrival of the Spaniards, the Amerindians were forced to accept a protectorate, and Bohechio, childless at death, was succeeded by his sister, Anacaona, wife of the cacique Caonabo.
