UEFA gets a new member.

[Huyton Layne]

97% of Turkey is in Asia but they play in Europe so there's not exactly legit rules here.

Absolute joke of a decision.

I actually don't mind them being in, but there are other places that deserve to be in just as much as they do, they just aren't in nice sunny climates and filled with rich people, which is why they aren't in UEFA and Gibraltar are.

I would be happy if UEFA allowed in all of the "minnows"

Greenland has put a ton of work into their football program and the only reason they aren't allowed in is because both UEFA and FIFA have deemed that they don't have the correct infrastructure for football. As mentioned earlier, Gibraltar have nothing that makes their footballing infrastructure any better than Greenlands. They just have nicer weather and richer inhabitants.

It's sickening and just highlights how corrupt both FIFA and UEFA are. They should be ashamed of themselves

not allowed to play spain though which is ridiculous

Was watching a bit on this last night, even talking about playing Spain, no mention of them not being allowed to.

Surprised they don't have separate comp for teams like these, the Faroes, San Marino, Liechtenstein, Andorra etc.

I hope they select a monkey in the team. That would be ace.

i only saw it mentioned on the bbc website he said that armenia azerbaijan are not allowed to play each other and that a similar thing could/is being done with gib and spain

The Falklands must have a chance of being a member,but they won't be allowed to play Argentina.

Or Israel...

Though cant imagine that'd be fun trying to police any matches against any off the GCC states or Indonesia/Malaysia...

Playing Spain would leave Gibraltar between a rock and a hard place....

Easy tiger!

Well they're not a kingdom, they're a principality.

No, but the treatment of them by the footballing authorities angers my blood. It's a perfect example of the corruption within the international football governing bodies

I admire your passion mate! The only other person I've ever met that was even half-arsed about Greenland was a girl at Uni that was into her environmental issues (and facial hair)
