I know that part of Turkey (Istnabul) is in Europe, but the other nations are in Asia. Right? I mean is their really a definite answer as to what continent these nations belong to? Khazakstan and Sirael have to be considered in Asia. But Azerbaijan and Georgia's placement could be debated. What do you guys think?

They are however geographically located partially in Europe giving them the option for full membership. Georgia (27 April 1999). Azerbaijan (25 January 2001). Turkey (9 August 1949).

Georgia is definitely Europe. And if the Turks want to be, that's fine by me, at least half of their capital is in Europe. Azerbeijan and Kazachstan probably because they used to belong to the USSR
and Israel because only the Europeans would want to play with them.(they could hardly join North America, and there they would spoil the US chances of ever getting into a world cup again)

You are right, but anymore "Asia" is China, Mongola, Japan, Thailand etc.
Those countries are the middle east which get thrown onto Europe, for some unknown reason.

Turkey is a Euroasian country, and it should be in the European tournaments. For others, I don't know. I always wondered why Israel joins European tournaments.
