why don't they just join forces for once to bring it home?
the team would be the same though?
robertson at LB, that's all. maybe bale.
are ther scotsman and irish and welsh in the england team?
Kind of, yes. Saying it would be England plus Bale or whatever is overly simplified. Historically, the best Northern Irish, Welsh and occasionaly Scottish players would be courted by England if they had an English grandparent or whatever. Michael Owen, for example, was Welsh but had enough English family that he played for England. Jack Grealish is (I think) Irish. England tried very hard to get Bale as he has an English grandparent but he said no.
It works the other way, too. A good number of the Wales team are people who are English, living in England, but had a Welsh grandparent so declare for Wales because they aren't good enough for England. This bullshit would be stopped at least if they were just uk or gb or whatever
This being the case, I always wondered why Giggs didn't play for England. He could have, he had an English parent, and he was good enough to get in the squad. He seemed to have nothing but contempt for Wales, second only to his contempt for women and his brother
>allegedly
Yeah, uk is weird. I live in Wales near the border and my whole family is Welsh but the day I was born our hosputal was unusually busy so my parents were sent to one in England and I was born there. The next day we go back to wales and I've lived there ever since. That means I've got 100% Welsh family, never lived anywhere but Wales, but I was born in England and am therefore considered at least part English
Tierney is so far ahead of Robertson, it's not even close. Robertson is the biggest system babby in the world
I hear this meme a lot from Arselel fans and porridge wogs but whenever I see him play he is gash.
Why don't the EU just join forces and dominate?
We would destroy everyone
we don't need it. we actually win things and dominate already
Could be unfair, the rest of the world needs a chance at least.
The World Cup would just be the Euros then
comical coming from your flag
Brazil would still beat you
Just like bongistan and it's subnations we all hate each other

>r.james
lmao
No Joe Allen?
none of the four separate football associations would be willing to join into one
I don't think the starting 11 would really look that much different from England's current one. Maybe Robertson but that's about it
do other countries find it cheating that the UK could potentially field 4 teams in tournaments?
I doubt they find it cheating. But it is a bit weird. Imagine the US being able to field a team for every state.
There's nothing about it, Scotland and England invented football and have been playing against each other since the mid 1800s.
Why would we stop doing that? Especially when we have our own separate leagues and competitions, again since the mid 1800s
Sorry, I should have prefaced. I don't find it weird, but others might. Especially americans and the like. These threads are always made asking the same question "Why don't they join their NTs together" because people really don't know any better. Obviously stuff like the olympics was a one off and that won't happen again. Even if we host another I doubt the political landscape between the nations will be the same.
>Imagine the US being able to field a team for every state.
Introducing state rivalries would make things a lot more interesting for Usasiens.
Greenland-Alaska would be great
Hawaii might make OFC more fun
Why would they? 4 of them can never win anything and the one that can doesn't get the few good players from these nations.
>4 of them can never win anything
I mean you're technically right but I think you might have miscounted
it's not cheating if you don't win
It is cheating when nations that aren't independent sovereign countries are allowed to play official matches
Why don't Germany, Austria, Switzerland all play together for Greater Germany?
Piss off Hans
Because those are all independent sovereign countries unlike the 4 "home nations"
Germany and Austria fielded a Greater German team in 1938. We went out in the first round.
It doesnt make much different
Lets face it, they are shite at the sport
the disappointment would just be bigger
English
no such thing
that team is full of nogs and paddies
Paddies are rightfully English. That's why all the grandaddies of the players moved here and still continue to do so.
>brave scots
>strong welsh
>mighty Irish
>beady English
Did you know that "English" also means to put a slight spin on something so it curves a bit so you're putting english on whatever? I thought that was interesting.
Because I want actual white british people representing me country.
no England then?
>german flag
>restating a joke
why does this happen so often?
>England
>Now England and the merry band of who's
What an upgrade
Because the Irish deserve better
Football could not withstand such power
Probably because the UK isn’t a country. There’s a few countries in it though.
if they did that wouldnt scotland vote to become an independent nation or soemthing
