I made this change [1] as the wording seems poor "He argued that a true selection would have been biased towards Europe and South America". I haven't checked the source, but either our summarisation of it is very poor or it's such a weird thing to say that it doesn't seem worthy of inclusion unless it got a lot of attention. If I counted right, the list seems to include 5 Africans, 2 Asians (4 if you include Türkiye which is a little weird since they play in UEFA) and 3 North Americans, and 2 of those were women from a country fairly dominant in women's football at the time. There are none from Oceania, Central America etc. All the rest so I assume 115 seem to be from Europe and South America. It's very weird to suggest this is a list that is not biased towards Europe and South America. It might be still true that this list is not sufficiently biased towards Europe and South America, but that's a different point. Likewise it might be also true that even with the Europe and South American bias, it's not sufficiently biased towards certain countries in Europe and South America, but again a different point. I checked out the BBC link and it concentrates more on the spread than the bias issue. I'd note that the BBC link does suggest the list was modified, I assume this means an earlier version was leaked or released but this isn't mentioned in our article.
