Israel is UEFA, right?

I feel like I've seen Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Champions League.

Russian goalie was good for what it’s worth. Defense was garbage but hard with just ten

If they can't play nice, kick them out of FIFA.

They don't have to get along. That makes for interesting rivalries. I bet they get along better than Pakistan and India who are both in the Asian confederation under the current setup.

I agree that Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria would fit in UEFA. Libya and Egypt in UEFA seems like more of stretch. I just don't think any of those nations fit culturally with Africa, and I don't see why confederations need to be identical to continents.

It will probably never happen for political and economic reasons, but I agree it would be really cool to see to see North Africa, the Middle East, and SW Asia break off into a seperate confederation.

Those countries have way more in common with each other culturally and historically than they do with sub-Saharan Africa, India, and the Far East. Plus, it would create some interesting and intense rivalries. Ideally, Israel and Turkey would be in this hypothetical new confederation, but that probably wouldn’t happen because of geopolitics. It would be fun, and it would make two ridiculously large confederations (in terms of number count and sheer size) much more reasonable. CAF would be just sub-Saharan Africa, and AFC would be everything east of Afghanistan.

I still can’t believe Saudi Arabia won a game. They are the worst team here, probably even worse than Panama despite points goal difference all that stuff.
