	The UK dosen't exist in the football world it should be broken down to England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland as these countries all have seperate leagues

	Same goes for Monaco, who play in France.

	TheBigE1980:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 02:05 GMT		1 point
	Agreed.

	This quiz is way more interesting than just naming the countries participating, which I thought it would be.

	Chase:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 03:41 GMT		11 points
	Although AS Monaco is in Ligue 1, Monaco has its own national team and AS Monaco is thoroughly a Monegasque club. I wouldn't include Toronto FC in the United States, even though they play in MLS. The quiz asks to name the country, not the soccer federation.

	As far as the UK goes...the above still qualifies, although it's a little bit different scenario. I thought about dividing them up, but what about Cardiff City? I decided to leave it as the United Kingdom, but I'll make England and Scotland accepted answers (but not Wales or Northern Ireland, as there are no World Cup competitors from either region) in case someone might otherwise miss it.

	Davedufc:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 06:00 GMT		2 points
	You should do it based on countries leagues - Cardiff play in the Engliah Championship so should go down as England, Toronto in the MLS so USA, Monaco are in the French League and Wellington Phoenix (NZ) are in Australia's A-League so Australia

	I like the quiz, but I'd really like to see a source, because I'm interested to know which players play for which club teams.

	mehmeh53:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 13:37 GMT		1 point
	Cardiff City play in the English system so officially they should be classed as such.

	Shayxin:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 14:35 GMT		1 point
	Agreed... it's tricky when teams play in another league, so put a note in saying "countries as per FIFA affiliation, but teams playing in another country's league are considered a part of the country hosting the league" or something along those lines. Then only Israel would have had me stumped!!

	I like the quiz as it stands and based on geographical countries. Although I can see an attraction in basing it on leagues, this is very informative. 5 golden globes from me.

	craitman17:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 18:58 GMT		1 point
	Chase, Monaco doesn't have its own national team. Well, not FIFA-affiliated :)

	jam_fan10:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 19:04 GMT		1 point
	interesting... im surprised that all these lower tiered teams that are in the world cup dont have more in their own leagues... like id expect more teams like algeria to have their players play in their own country, like south africa does

	BiloxiSean:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 19:33 GMT		1 point
	I know Wales has their own league outside of the English FA, so wales should be different if that player plays in that league. Surprised there is no representative from the Scottish League. @jam_fan10 The US, which is surprisingly a high mid tiered team, hardly has anyone in the starting line up who plays for the MLS. Donovan, Findley, and Buddle (who should start over Jozy IMO), are the main MLS guys.

	peanut4:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 22:08 GMT		0 points
	United Kingdom!!!!????? What???? The league is English (and Welsh) with separate leagues in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales again.

	Chase:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 23:10 GMT		1 point
	Alright, although I prefer doing it by country, it sounds like you all think organizing it by federation would be better. In that case, Monaco goes, Scotland and England are separated, and Wellington Phoenix players are counted for Australia.

	Chase:	Jun 10th, 2010 at 23:20 GMT		1 point
	Also, craitman- You're right. I didn't realize they had "unofficial" status. ef232623- To see the data, go to FIFA.com and look at the national team rosters. I actually compiled it into an Excel file myself because I couldn't find accumulated data anywhere. I'll email you the file if you'd like, although I didn't record which players play for which club team.

	Golden:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 04:06 GMT		0 points
	@chase - I don't think Monaco should go OR Wellington Phoenix players count for Australia. The clubs are based in their countries and play home games in their countries, regardless of the fact that their opposition hails from other countries. If tomorrow the top 4 teams were taken out of England, Germany, Italy, Spain and France and only played in a combined 'champions league', would people start saying they play in 'the EU'?? I don't think so! Saying someone plays in Australia when they play in NZ is just plain silly (and I would put a few bucks on the fact that it comes mostly from football fans who object to 'UK' instead of England)

	johnlk:	Jun 11th, 2010 at 19:00 GMT		1 point
	Monaco players should count for France, no?

	Davedufc:	Jun 25th, 2010 at 01:42 GMT		0 points
	@Golden in FIFA's eyes the Wellington Phoenix are an Australian team regardless of the fact they are based in NZ - they have a special dispensation as there is no professional league in NZ oh and UK dose NOT = England

	Golden:	Jul 7th, 2010 at 23:32 GMT		1 point
	@Daveduft - I simply disagree. Monaco is not a French team, nor is Phoenix an Australian team. Its artificial to think of it this way and not based in reality but in semantics. The question is asking 'Which countries' clubs'! And England does not = UK, but all I'm saying is the reason people disagree with my anaylsis here is because they are English and can't bear to see 'UK' used in a football sense, even though the extension of this logic doesn't work.
