How come the different british countries compete separately? I would have guessed that england, scotland, wales, N. Ireland, and the other assorted territories would all compete as the UK.
Also, how come there are so many teams from europe qualified? The little I understand of FIFA is that only so many teams from certain regions are able to qualify right? if so, why is europe's quota so much bigger than everyone elses?
