do you think 97 members can decrease tanking ? :D 2-3 seasons ago Iran had above 100 users ... but tanking was not difficult ...
in other hand , UAE or S.Arabia users dont know the game like us :D

you cant change anything by this Grouping

Believe me when I say that we have tried. Some of the active managers now are friends and relatives who have been introduced to the game by some veterans. Still the number of users is on a decline. We've talked over and over about advertising on our own, but we have a lot to determine, as to our targets, how much we can advertise with our limited budget and so on.

If a country only have one division, it should be equal to IV or V division in France, USA or Spain with its floor salary, its tv revenues, etc ... never like now, same as big country first division

If a country has two divisions, then higher will be same as third division in a large country and second same as IV ...

by this idea , we never can competition in B3 with macro nations ... this is not a true solution

do you use violence and coercion anywhere ? :D can't you offer a peaceful way ? :))

If you merge Austria and Germany you have to include Switzerland to form a DACH-league. I would like that to happen.

How about adding a third team? In addition to Utopia we can start real world teams and join the current countries?

Congratulations on ball #1000.

How about merging Africa and Central America in the first step, look how it works and reevaluate afterwards? Even if it fails, the damage done is minimal.

OK the grouping of middle east is as follow :

Lebonan : 4 users
Iran : 56 users
Saudi Arabia : 8 users
U.A.E : 10 users
Pakistan : 0 user
India : 17 users

That brings it up to 95. So it would be DI, DII, and 15 teams spread in the 16 DIII divisions ? Who would be put in DI ? Based on world rank ? I don't see what's that going to achieve. It's like a circle you know ! 95 users combined, many of which will leave if the merge takes place, and we're back to around 60 users maybe (the number that Iran has almost), and back to square one.

The communication problems would be catastrophic. We speak Farsi, I don't know what language India speaks, U.A.E and Saudi Arabia speak Arabic which I don't speak a word of, I have no idea of the language of Lebanon, and Pakistan speaks some kind of Farsi I think which is mostly different from Iran's Farsi. As you can see, many Iranians can't speak English well either. So it would be pretty much like Utopia forums

:D

Now I can't even begin to tell you about the cultural differences. Frankly, most Saudis and Arabs don't like Persians and Iranians, and it goes the same way around. Many Iranians don't like Saudis and Arabs. It's not Racism or anything, this goes back to many different issues that has happened in real life, and are still happening now. I know you're gonna say that this is an online game, but you have to be a part of one of these countries to understand what I'm talking about.

Also, there are 6 countries in this Middle East grouping, While five of them combine for 39, Iran stands at 56 and really it feels like they are intruding in our leagues if this were supposed to take place.

:D

I believe that Iran should not be included in this discussion.

I want to keep my flag , my league , my place and so on ...

are you sure Iranian DI has the same lvl with Spanish DIV ? :D your speech is a silly joke :))

I understand those real world issues - Israel is a part of Europe when it comes to football... Pretty silly considering the regional disconnection, but if some people want to hate each other, who am I to judge... It would be nice if in BB those idiotic stereotypes would not be applied...
