The west is Europe and the Americas. What map are you looking at?

Israel is the center of the Earth. So it would be called the northwest.

The origin of “the West” terminology is 2000 years old, well before the rest of the world knew about the Americas. If you’re not aware of this I can see your confusion, but Europe has been the West for a looong time, and North America and Australia/New Zealand became considered extensions of that through colonization.

Even if you're just counting the America's, it's still the most popular sporting event. What would you put ahead of it?
