After reading all the shite on the United Kingdom (of England, Scotland
Wales and Northern Ireland), I began to get very bored. So why don't we put
it to the vote.

All those not in favour of four teams from the UK can sod off, we invented the
game, all four nations have separate FA's, Wembley and Hampden are the meccas
of football. If we were to merge, then the Leagues would no doubt have to
combine as well. It's not fair on to inflict the joke that is Hibernian Football
club on the English, and Wimbledon on the Scots. Why don't you foreigners just
accept the situation as it has been for all those years, or we'll send out
Airdrie to kick lumps out of your fancy teams (I can just see Lentini et al
surviving 90 minutes of clugging).

Germany annexed Poland, France, Belgium and Holland during the war - so why don't
you lot put in a combined team. (The USA could merge with Greneda). Or a combined
Chinese and Tibetan team.

Hell, Israel didn't exist until recently - let's kick them out of football
altogether. India might as well lump in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Bollocks, why don't we just have one side representing the world. The world cup
wouldn't have quite the same competetivness - but it would be fair.

Another well thought out message by an english soccer fan, not!

I believe that the above could have been phraseed alot more diplomatically
(the nich ridley school of foreign policy, perhaps) but what the hell, most
of them use to be our colonies anyway so who cares?

By the way I agree with you completly, plus it would be boring winning the wc
every 4 years with a combined brit team, this way all the TPLACS etc think they
have a chance.

Again (to think I was scolded because I said that the British are often using
the fact that they are divided to justify their poor performances in the WC).
That's precisely one of the main reasons I insist they should have a single
team (the main reason being that they have no right to have four,) so we may
have the pleasure of beating them anyway. Everybody knows it is England and
little else.
