Explained in plain English
Are there other continental blocs?
Yes, beyond Europe and South America, other continents often form sporting or economic blocs. For example, African nations compete in the Africa Cup of Nations, while Asian countries have their own continental championships. These groupings reflect geographical and sometimes historical ties, much like the European teams Brazil keeps losing to.
