I think it's a fairly natural way for the conversation to evolve after the various permutations started working themselves out.

It was a, er, joke. Mainly.


Though Turkey and at least 2-3 other UEFA members are not in Europe!

Turkey is partially in Europe, partially in Asia. Same as Russia

Certainly not Israel.

Dunno what it is not in an Arab confederation.:D

Turkey mainly Asia as is Israel, Kazakhstan. Russia less so.

We need less teams, not more.

Russia is very much mainly Asia, land mass wise anyway. Same with Turkey, but it is partially in Europe, although AB seems to think that's a matter of opinion. Galatasaray and Fenerbahce's rivalry is an interesting one in that Galatasaray are based in Europe with Fenerbahce in Asia, so the cultural differences are vast compared to most city derbies.

95% of Turkey is in Asia tbf.

Nobody's disputing that tbf.

Ever have Asian Turkey? It's Turkey with soy sauce. They deep fry it at crackbird and drape it in vinegar.

It should probably be noted that 10 million people live in that 5%.

Sounds great, say what you like about the Turks but they sure know how to cook.

Jesus, why do UEFA feel the need to drag this particular draw out?

Not Ukraine! Or Sweden!

Ukraine playing Slovenia, dodged that bullet

Sweden playing Denmark. Still Bosnia in the draw.

Bosnia it is.
