They've been in European cups since 1972, until that time she was the member of the Asian association. I think it's because of safety reasons, although Europe doesn't have a definite border... Also, it is more profitable to play with European teams, and they can also gain more experience if they play against England than Mongolia (no offence Mongolian dudes). That area is pretty mixed. Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Armenia... etc. are similarly problematic.

Israel is part of Asia, but a number of countries in Asia have teams in the UEFA, and hence, the Euro 2008 qualifiers. Examples are: Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan.

Because none of the countries in Asia of Islam belief ,will play Israel, even though they are sworn to uphold the Olympic
bylaws, of fairness in sportsmanship.
Oil is much thicker than honor.

Every nation hates Israel in that region (and possibly many other regions). They needed a place to play, so Europe took pity on them.
