It’s not like they can play in 90% of the Asian countries to be fair

And why is that?

I know it’s the case for Russia and Turkey at least.

THAT is when the idea is debatable. Because they have such close history with what they define as europe and have part of their territory within the defined land borders. How Azerbaizan and Armenia qualify god knows. If Lebanon and Syria don't qualify regardless of their desires, then neither should be Israel.
