There is no such place as Palestine Facts do help but 70% of the United Nations recognise Palestine so I think we can safely file you away in the rabid Zionist drawer and lock it. I do not consider Israel as allies by the way. Nor do I understand why they are deemed European in a sporting sense but that's for the other thread.

It's an arrangement of convenience for Fifa. It is a number of Arab countries who would refuse to play an Israeli team, not vice versa. There is little logic in the composition of Uefa anyway: I mean Kazakhstan (??) and of course 97% of Turkey is in Asia.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
