Why isn't there a Great Britian/United Kingdom national team? Is there a Welsh or Scottish national team?
A Great Britain team would be pretty much the English team. ;)
But yes, Scotland and Wales have teams... bad teams, but teams nonetheless. :)

I was nice about your car hitmanhatton - be nice about Welsh football.
(I know we are shit, but it's good to be proud about it!) ;)
Footy is a poof's game anyway, big sissies rolling around all the time pulling faces - rugby is a proper sport.
Yeah - just like a Great Britain rugby union team would be Wales with a few Scots thrown in.Quote:

Reminds me of the Eddie Izzard joke, about Great Britain keeping the Kaiman Islands for 'Strategic Sheep Purposes' ;DQuote:

That's because we hate each other - and the reason we are good at wars and stuff is we spend so much time fighting each other, we are quite practiced at it.
