It should be something like this. Maybe if you care more about even number of teams in each federation than pretty OCD borders (WHICH I DON'T!) then you can let Turkey, Russia, Cyprus, and all those lovely east of the Caspian countries into UEFA but I'm drawing the line at Kazakhstan and Israel.

Maybe they should have thought about having a border that was a straight line near Europe if they wanted to be UEFA rather than having 90% of their country be snow Mongolia

No point putting Carroll up front until Creswell's fit to bang crosses at his misshapen head. In the meantime put MIckey Tony in for Walcott, I saw two or three balls to the back post where Walcott reacted like someone had just thrown a balloon full of piss at him, Antonio would have known what to do with them.

Lmao, great description of lolcott.

Transcontinental countries should be allowed to be a part of all the continental confederations they can be a part of, and put up national teams for all of these competitions.
And all the butthurt small countries* should have thought about not conquering a shitton of uninhabited wasteland on a neighbouring continent before drawing a line where they did.

*A waiver is in place for Canada, they have a lot of snowy uninhabited wasteland. They may complain.

It's more like football is the only sport where Russia isn't doping.
They got burnt on that over 10 years ago.
If they were doping, they wouldn't have been as poo poo as they were on the euros.

I'm watching Israel - Italy on a RAI4 stream and it's pretty weird because they're not really narrating the game, they're talking about whatever and talking about the game when something interesting happens.

I had to look this up and the guys doing the commentary are a famous Italian comedy team called Gialappa's Band. They're the guys that made Mai Dire Gol, Bar Sport, and a bunch of other satirical sports shows. That's great that they're getting to do some version of the national team now.

That's cool and explains the dude with the exaggerated nasal voice, I can't really appreciate it because I don't know enough Italian to understand satirical jokes but it has been a good stream.

He's had three good chances, but they've all been 1 on 3 or so. He scored the one, that's enough imo.
