If this includes colonies as of 1966 you're missing a lot of British and French ones, such as Belize, Guyana, and Vanuatu. What you mean to say is, the Portuguese colonies, which are the only ones included, were considered by Portugal to be integral parts of the Portuguese state as much as any other part and therefore, players from Mozambique could play for Portugal in a way players from Guyana couldn't play for England (or any other British side).

What about e.g. French Guyana or Algeria before 1962? France has several overseas territories which are considered part of the country itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.64.81.15 (talk) 20:46, 14 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
