With 207 associations affiliated to FIFA today, world football’s governing body has rightly been dubbed the "United Nations of Football ". Between 1975 and 2002 alone, more than 60 associations were accepted as members. \n\nFIFA supports the associations financially and logistically through various programmes and grants them a number of attractive rights and privileges. But they also have obligations. As representatives of FIFA in their countries, they must respect the statutes, aims and ideals of football’s governing body and promote and manage our sport accordingly.

Chelsea worked out a deal with the Company AEG who owns 4 MLS teams. The worked out a deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy to send their players over to the states to develop and they have the option to transfer players from the MLS if they want. So that could be part of it, to test the waters and see how good some of the players they want to develop are.

I would go to the companies websites. They probably like to brag about how many pro players use their clubs. Or you could try a google search of individual players to get info on them.

Actually all of them are worng. No three teams can go from a group, that happened last in 1994 when there were 24 teams. With 32 teams, only two progress from a group. In case of a tie as you mentioned , the qualifying campaigns of the teams are concerned, the team with better record go through.

Please find the squad list for all 32 teams below. I have done my part, I leave the counting to you. That's not asking too much I hope?\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup_%28squads%29#Player_representation_by_club

MLS is definitely not the calibur of the leagues overseas in England, Germany, Spain, Italy, etc.  I have to admit that the MLS is definitely trying to get up to those levels though.  I say give it some time and the MLS will soon compete with the aforementioned leagues.

There are major championships for most every professional soccer league.  For examlpe, the MLS (in the USA) has a regular season champion based on points accumulated during the season.  0-loss, 1-draw and 3-win.  There is usually a knock-out tournament as well to determine another championship.  This goes for the other leagues around the world based in individual countries, like the Series A & B leagues in Italy.  \n\nEngland, Spain, Italy, France and Germany are thought to be the best leagues in Europe.  \n\nEach region of the world, Oceanic, S Ame, Asia, Africa, N. Ame and Europe also have their own ways of governing soccer and have championships based on countries (like world cup) and have tournaments based on professional teams like, UEFA in Europe.  For example The Champions league (via UEFA in Europe) takes the best professional teams in Europe and they play in group and knock-out stages to determine a winner.  UEFA also has a Euro Cup to determine the best national soccer team in Europe's region.  \n\nMost of the regions of the world have their tournament 2 years after the World Cup and have it every 4 years (although there are exceptions like the African Cup of Nations).  \n\nThe professoinal teams (like in UEFA) have a tournament more frequently (like every year) to determine the best professional team in a region.  \n\nAs far as I know there is no tournament to determine the best professional team in the world.  Most would feel that the European professional teams would win anyway since they pay their players the most money.  That's why you see Ronoldo and Ronoldiniho (sp?) from Brazil playing for Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.  For this reason, the UEFA Champions league is thought of as having the best soccer tournament around.  AC Milan is currently playing Barcelona in one semi and Villarreal (from Spain) is playing the English Premier League team of Arsenal in the other.  Championship for that one is May 17th in Paris.\n\nFor each professional championship, go online and try to find each country's top soccer league and they will have more on the particular league championships (knock-out or season play) you are interested in.  Hope that helps:)

I presume you're asking for the 19 different last names of English clubs.\n\nIf so, the question is out of date, because there are now 21 since the formation of MK Dons, and Accrington Stanley's promotion to the league.\n\nThere are lots of teams which share some of the names, so I give below one example of each:-\n\n\nManchester  UNITED\nCoventry  CITY\nIpswich  TOWN\nBolton  WANDERERS\nCrewe  ALEXANDRA\nPlymouth  ARGYLE\nQueens Park  RANGERS\nWest Bromwich  ALBION\nSheffield  WEDNESDAY\nNottingham  FOREST\nDerby  COUNTY\nAston  VILLA\nBlackburn  ROVERS\nWigan  ATHLETIC\nTottenham  HOTSPUR\nPreston  NORTH END \nPort  VALE\nCrystal  PALACE\nLeyton  ORIENT\nMilton Keynes  DONS\nAccrington  STANLEY\n\n.
