Who looks more alike: Georgians and Bulgarians or Lebanese and Cypriots?

, and Bulgarians are much more European than Cypriots.

Why?

Oh okay , sorry that i wasnt able to guess you meant that . those are 2 small groups out of double digit amount of south euro countries .

Well, they're still South Euros nonetheless.

Using football/soccer teams is not be the best way to determine phenotypes.

Group photos are better.

But that is a group photo..as you can see Cypriots and Greek look MUCH more similar than to Lebanese.

Technically they are group pics since it's more than one person per pic. I was referring to crowd pics. But fair enough.

I agree they look closer to Greeks (islanders/southerners or whatever) than Lebanese.

As someone who watches a lot of rugby, I see many Georgians playing in French clubs in particular, and many of them look like darker-than-average Balkanites rather than wholesale MENA in the same way that most Lebanese and even many Turks do.

Those Greeks look like how they should: between southern Italians and Balkanites, with some looking Central/East European. I see no Levantine input in them, unlike Cypriots.

That's true, however there Cypriots still look closer to Greeks, they have recent Greek ancestry that's why I'm guessing.
