Can anybody ever see a British football side in the world cup Surley with the talent that this great nation has we would do better collectivlly than individually?
no i dont think this can happen. by british , people actually mean england and it would have predominantly english players and a few of the best nicked from the other countries. I just think that england want ryan giggs
Ah, the old 'greater than the sum of its parts' argument...No way would Scottish or Welsh fans support a team with English players representing them, and as for Northern Ireland, forget it! Can you imagine if we got grouped with the Republic of Ireland in qulaifying?...bye bye world cup finals! FIFA are itching for a chance to chuck us out as it is. As far as a team goes, it'd be packed with English players, have maybe two or three welshmen and scots and no Northern Irish players whatsoever. I know they want one for the 2012 Olympics (apparently the Scots won't play fair) but it'd be under 23 players and hardly any big names. Youu know they say never say never? Well, I'm saying NEVER EVER EVER will you see a GB side in the World Cup. It's doubtful there'll be a UK by 2018 when we host the Finals again anyway

Why lose our individual countries identities. Bring back the British Championships i say,was a great tournament which we still hold
