redhat Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 quote:Originally posted by JB_Tito Since when Tel Aviv is in Europe ? Since they're part of UEFA. Come to think of it, it feels weird just like Australian teams compete as part of Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Panama I consider to be more part of the North American continent than the South American. Guyana, French Guiana and Suriname are definitely South American even if they do have cultural ties to the Carribean. I still think CONMEBOL should have a couple of minnows too since all the other confederations do and these teams are obviously South American.
