Should UEFA boot Kazakhstan?

Kazakhstan left the Asian federation, and applied to join UEFA about 10 years ago. However, it is not a European nation and brings nothing to the table. Thoughts?

Kazakhstan is a transcontinental country, like Russia, Turkey, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Kazakhstan is more in Europe than Turkey is (both a higher percentage of the country and a greater land mass).
Cyprus, Armenia and Israel are all geographically 100% in Asia. None of this matters anyway. Kazakhstan are in UEFA because UEFA want them to be.4 -
Cyprus is in Europe
Kazakhstan is in Asia

I feel as if I should have definite opinion on this one, but I am struggling, to be honest. I wonder who can name the most famous Kazakhs without googling.0

I was going to say "for what?" Then i realised that the thread isnt "Should UEFA book kasabian".
that is all i have to add to this thread but feel my contribution is as worthy as everyone else's.5 -
The only Kazakh I can remember is Chingiz Aitmatov, who wrote a science fiction book I read when I was younger and his name has stayed with me, even though I can't remember much about the book, which was called "the day lasts longer than a hundred years".
I know there's nothing about cups in this post, for which I apologise.0 -
I thought I'd double check and it turns out he was Kyrgyz, so would have been playing in Asia now had he been a live footballer not a dead writer.rananegra said:The only Kazakh I can remember is Chingiz Aitmatov, who wrote a science fiction book I read when I was younger and his name has stayed with me, even though I can't remember much about the book, which was called "the day lasts longer than a hundred years".

According to a map Cyprus is in Asia. It's south and east of Istanbul and is right beside Syria and Lebanon.MrOneLung said:

I have just checked a map and I concede the point about Cyprus. I was convinced it was further north west (nearer Greece)IA said:

Cannary Islands...Europe or Africa, I'd say Africa even though it's part of Spain.0

Europe since it technically belongs as part of Spain and I've never had my passport stamped when I've been out thereHastingsaddick said:Cannary Islands...Europe or Africa, I'd say Africa even though it's part of Spain.

The same is true for Ceuta and Melilla, which are both obviously on the African continent (Spain has a land border with Morocco).CAFC_Norfolk said:

France (the country, not overseas territories), and therefore the European Union, actually borders Brazil via French Guiana/Guyane. Guyane has exactly the same status within France as Corsica or Paris, they vote in parliamentary elections etc, and Guyane appears on Euro banknotes. If I flew to Cayenne direct from Paris (or anywhere in the EU), I wouldn't have my passport stamped, but I would definitely say that I was in South America.
The Canaries are politically European (within Spain and European Union). Canarians are culturally European. However, the Canary Islands themselves are further south than pretty much every major settlement in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. Geographically (ie when you take political borders out of the equation), the Canaries are islands off the coast of Africa, and therefore part of Africa.0 -
You might have mixed it up with Crete, which is in Europe.CAFC_Norfolk said:

Or made the reasonable assumption that as it's culturally European, part of the EU and a well known "European"/Mediterranean holiday destination that it must be in Europe.
I would say lots of Greek islands are in Asia, eg Rhodes and Lesbos1 -
