South America pick whoever

Yeah but England should never be invited. According to the Wikipedia article the following other teams have oarticipated after getting an invite in the competition history:

Mexico 7 times
Costa Rica 3 times
USA 3 times
Honduras 1 time
Japan 1 time


The game should choose CONCACAF nations or in rare cases some team from a random confederation.

Call me when American Samoa get invited, we know about England.

It amazes me that Si have never eliminated this problem across versions and patches. England competing in the Copa America is ludicrous!!

Have you installed the latest patch? I believe this issue was looked at.

Japan was a one-off thing (some agreement to promote the 2002 WC here or something), but CONMEBOL only invites teams from CONCACAF. Nobody in South America wants to see teams from outside the Americas in Copa América again.

Obs: América in Portuguese and Spanish refers to the whole Americas, so the USA, Costa Rica and Mexico are regarded as countries from the same continent as Brazil, Argentina and other South American countries.
