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.

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.
