iraq Contentious, as in the largest landmass for which people of that nation play is actually in a different continent. greenland Kind of, it is Denmark specifically. FIFA don't let Greenland have their own national team, so make Greenlanders play for Denmark, even though Denmark granted Greenland homerule in the 1970s.

Yep

Now, probably the most contentious country in the world is what nation do people think? Clue: It has won an International Football Tournament.

Correct.

Distraction from the 24 hour thread.

OK, there are three more that are 100% non contentious, although there are some other contentious ones (pretty much every Island in SE Asia/Oceania)

The Asian federation is an umbrella federation representing four smaller federations of which the Middle-East is one.

No. The island of New Guinea is contentious, some say it is Asian, some say it is Oceanic. Basically one of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea is in the wrong federation, but which?

Shares a landmass with Indonesia in the South East Asian Archipelago. A few of the SE Asian Islands are all a bit contentious I'd say.

No. Closer than Iceland. No.

Nope, they are AFC.

There are still more...

I'm sure Dave will start some, I told you so, thread with a big fuck you to the Ashley knockers, if it does I'm not allowed. I am though.

Russia Israel Turkey Azerbaijan Kazakhstan Australia Cyprus Armenia Georgia Papua New Guinea Not the Maldives.

So far: Russia Israel Turkey Azerbaijan Kazakhstan Australia Cyprus

Not Mexico, they are in the CONCACAF. Copa America basically needs a guest nation to make up the numbers, and Mexico has always been a favourable option. T&T's landmass is in the Carribean, so not them either. You were right with Australia Yorkie, they have moved into the Asian federation to make WC qualification easier.

Name all of the FIFA registered national sides who don't participate in the competition of their continents federation (eg UEFA). If a country is in more than one continent, the continent with the largest landmass is its continent. Three easier ones to start us off: Russia Israel Turkey

No.

Still signed a new contract when playing there. And surely he can play there once in a while if Enrique is injured. Rather that or sit on the bench? tbh I think he should be starting every match on the left-wing - more effective than Duff Had time at both positions in the friendlies so I think Keegan still sees his ability to cover at LB as an asset. Definitely. He's not much a defender, but N'Zogbia at left back is still a tactical change to use if we are in need of a goal.

We need to speak to the President! TELL ME HOW MUCH THE FEE IS! *Phone rings*: Kevin, this is Freddy Shepherd, I have your daughter.

Eh? kind of [ img]www.countdownclock.jpg[ /img] Makes no sense. How could a static image be generated from a moving clock? Unless it was a new image every time it was refreshed, which I doubt. Well the actual clock creator says you should be able to display it on your site, I just don't know the html needed. It's probably too complicated in that case to waste time on.
