Middle East all-star team

[babak_australia]

im confused at Turkey (Europe) and Egypt (Africa) being in the "Middle East"
very strange.

looks like you have done a lot of hard work though and well done, looks good.
i have no clue who half those players are.

Shojai has played more then Ando lately so i think he was more deserved of a place in that lineup

Well Iran is Arguably not in the Middle East either...they Border Afghanistan and Pakistan...a good portion of the country is in "Central Asia"...

Mazandaran, Gilan and the South Azerbaijan Region are in the Caucasus...

the only real part that resembles anything else like the Middle East is the Khuzestan Region.

im not talking about Geographically brother.

im talking about by name and Egypt and Turkey are not even classified as being in the same continent let alone the same region, whereas Iran IS classified as being in the Middle East

on every map i've ever seen I've seen Turkey and Egypt both in the Middle East...maybe Istanbul and beyond are Europe...and the Nubian region and south are both not part of the ME...but from what I know I've always thought of them as Middle Eastern Countries.

i stand corrected. in Wiki they have Egypt, Yemen, Omad and Sudan part of the middle east which is news to me. no Turkey in there but some of the older maps have Turkey in them also.

makes no sense

anyways...beyond the grammatical mistake

38% of the Population of Turkey lives in Europe (Istanbul and beyond)

so there is sufficient reasoning behind Turks believing themselves to be European...especially when nearly 40% of the people in the country live in Geographical Europe

this is what confuses me about Turkey, you cant technically be in 2 continents, so geography aside. are they a part of Europe or Asia?

I know there football team is in Europe but then again so is Israel's, so we cant base it on that.

who?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[djmo]

Iranians Players that Should Make It, No Doubt
- Javad Nekonaum
- Masoud Shojaei
- Mehdi Rahmati
- Hossein Kaebi

The Only Other Mid-Eastern Players that Are not North African and Turkish That Should Make It
- Bassim Abbas

No Other Non-North African Player Should Make It... the rest of the all-start team is North African and Turkish

It's unfortunate that some of them have that much of an inferiority complex. And these same Euros they're dying to be a part lose more and more respect for them the more they try and kiss butt.

There are Iranians and even some Egyptians who say their countries are not in the Middle East either. I think it's cute.
