Neji Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 It does happen, there has been a few posts about it. I think they are allowed to invite one other nation so England gets included in that, although IRL, it is very unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekluse Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 There have been other people showing screens of this happening before so I don't see why to doubt hes lying about it. Was just something SI overlooked I guess, I haven't had a look at the rules myself but I would seriously doubt even if there was a loophole in the rules that this would ever happen.

HHUK Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 In version 8.00 I believe it was possible for England to always get invited to be the guest nation in the Copa America. Fixed in 8.02 anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMLF Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 its definatley true. Happened to me as well. I think two teams get invited to make the total number of teams 12. Mexico are a team that are regularly invited. Japan have played in the competition too. Japan only played once because they were going to host the WC, so Conmebol wanted to please them for some reason. But apart from this case, in real life only teams from the Americas are invited. If we do ever invite a team from outside the Americas, it will be either Portugal or Spain, as they share our culture, history, etc... I doubt England would ever be invited as they have nothing to do with South America and many people here dislike them (starting from Argentina).

Mike7077 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 There's enough evidence in the myriad other threads that have been started on this matter. It's a flaw in the game that unrealistic invites get made to the Copa America. The inclusion of invitations is realistic, but some of the teams who get asked are not.

lolgasm Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 You can have 2 non South and North American countries in it, but I believe they are invited. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stantoner Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Mexico and USA are invited but as the US never takes is seriously i can believe England, in FM would get invited. I'd love to see it happen in real life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMLF Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 You can have 2 non South and North American countries in it, but I believe they are invited. The Copa América is played by 12 teams: 10 SA ones Mexico another NA country (usually Costa Rica or the USA) England simply wouldn't be invited in real life because here nobody rates England. I'd love to see it happen in real life I wouldn't, I would rather see Jamaica or Barbados than England, as they are countries from the Americas.

Richie Brill Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Any international side can be included in Copa America due to there being 1 space available for invitaion so that place was obviously given to England, it's not uncommon and I have lost an entire team due to this (I done a national challenge) and really screwed my season up!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMLF Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 The other space available is always given to another CONCACAF member. Japan was an exception that is very unlikely to happen again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolgasm Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 The Copa América (Spanish and Portuguese for "America Cup") is the main football competition of the men's national football teams governed by CONMEBOL, the South American football confederation. It is the oldest surviving international tournament in the world starting in 1916. The participating nations are Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Two invited teams from other confederations complete the twelve team tournament: Mexico has been a regular since they were invited for the first time in 1993. There is no qualification stage: all ten CONMEBOL teams compete by right, and others by invitation. The highest finishing member of CONMEBOL has the right to participate in the next edition of the FIFA Confederations Cup, but is not obliged to do so It is normally Mexico and USA I believe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMLF Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 It is normally Mexico and USA I believe Mexico played in all editions since 1993. The other teams were: 1993 - USA 1995 - USA 1997 - Costa Rica 1999 - Japan 2001 - Costa Rica and Honduras 2004 - Costa Rica 2007 - USA Japan was a sad exception that, as I said, is unlikely to happen again.

Frame Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 If we do ever invite a team from outside the Americas, it will be either Portugal or Spain, as they share our culture, history, etc...

Schotsmannetje Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I heard there's a lot of booming talent on Antarctica, might give them a go. Seriously, if you can play football on ice and snow, playing football on grass must be dead easy. Joking aside, I don't think England would be very popular in South America. Might give Holland a go though. Before the Portuguese entered Brazil they owned the entire Brazilian coast. And half the Dutch squad comes from Suriname anyway.
