MaidenMadness Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 no its not there's not enough teams in sa to fill out all the places in the tournament so they invite some non south american teams to play so they'd have enough teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jams1234 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I saw a thread on this a while back. For the Copa America, I believe it features most of the South American teams, then every tournament invites 2 nations. IRL Mexico have almost always been in it in recent times, and also mainly USA, but also sometimes Carribean countries. So ingame, it is possible for any 2 countries to be invited, even in IRL but it's usually Mexico and another closely located team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolgasm Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 It's not a bug, but a rarity. 2 non south-american teams are invited (one is Mexico, the other is usually USA but Japan have also been invovled, although that was a one-off iirc) to take part every year the tournament is on.

av3ry Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I've heard of it happening on other people's games. I dont think it has happened on my game yet. Usually USA and Mexico gets the invites into Copa America. But in 1999 Japan was invited which was the only time a team from outside Las Americas was invited in the Copa America.

Solid Gone Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 From Wiki... The Africa Cup of Nations, also referred to as the African Nations Cup (ANC) is the main international association football competition in Africa.

PMLF Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 And who is allowed to participate in the FIFA Confederations Cup? Everybody... If a team from outside South America (ex: Mexico) win Copa América, that team won't e allowed to play the Confederations Cup, as Mexico and the other CONCACAF are just invitees. The same happens in Copa Libertadores, if a Mexican team win it, it is not allowed to play the Club World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilardo was Argentina's manager during most of the 1980s, including the 1986 WC. My step Dad discussed that with me this morning. My personal view is: The argentine squad is packed full of footballing goodness so its not a case of lack of talent (a la England ((Joke, sort of))) And he wouldn't be manager unless they truly believe he is capable, but for me, its a case of wait and see, i wish him the best of luck, exept against England, where he used up his quota of luck in 1986 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
