Default Has England Moved Continents

Currently in 2010 end season and as manager of Brazil, am competing in the Copa America. I was just a bit shocked to be meeting England in the final.

I will try to post a screenshot as soon as I work out how to do it.

This has been posted quite often before, don't know what SI say about it but our resident brazilians have called it... silly, to put it mildly

In the copa america there are 12 teams! however there are only 10 registered with the south american football association. so to make the structure of the tournament easier they add 2 extra teams from outside south america. They are usually mexico and USA however in the past it has been Japan. If you check the history of the tournament you will probably find another team that isnt in south america.

The invitees are always from CONCACAF. Japan was an exception in the 1990s, but it was a fiasco, so it won't happen again.

And if it does happen, England won't be invited.

Hmm.. I was kinda counting on you to lend credibilty to my previous statement Oh well..

Statement after revision:

The resident brazilians have gently declined the notion of the idea

América in Spanish and Portuguese refers to the Americas (South + Central + North Americas + The Caribbean), so Copa América is a cup for teams in the Americas.

Japan, as mentioned, was an exception and won't happen again.

Yes, England in Copa América doesn't make sense at all. There are no cultural or football reasons to invite them. English football has a very poor reputation here and many people dislike England here (especially the Argentinians, but also many lefties dislike it).
