What do other countries think about the fact that the UK is allowed to field four regional teams in football...

Nobody had to allow them to compete separately, they already were.
As an other user already said the national teams are representing the respective FA's.

>Pretty sure people in the UK (apart from pakis and Londoners) see themselves as English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish instead of British anyway
pretty much this
ironically the people who shill for the idea of us all being british are the least related to the british isles

this is pretty much the actual situation

that's actually a weakness

I've always seen myself as British in everything except for football.

People in the North East of England have more in common with Scots than they do with fellow "English" people in London, Essex, the midlands etc.

Why does your queen dress like a retard?

Half of european national teams are regional.british, russian or yugoslav

Formalists are the scum.of the Earth

England might have actually reached the final last year (and promptly be demolished) had they had Bale too so it's a good thing their talent is split up.

Remember to always support the Balkanization of Europe like Catalan independence and the breakup of the EU.

Shut up.

I think we need a northumbria, mercia and wessex team to replace England.

true i support kurdistan

hard to judge since non of them really matters in football.

England FA v Scotland FA was the first international match. It's an ever so slight distinction but yes, it's national FAs playing against eachother.

99% of the time, they are also countries in their own right, but then you have teams like Gibraltar, Faroe Islands and the home nations who individually aren't countries in their own right.

Turkey isn't in Europe though Pierre.

i'm glad you agree on that
but i still support kurdistan

it's fair, they are so bad they need advantages.

>the people who shill for the idea of us all being british are the least related to the british isles
orange men btfo

Are they more in common because they also lack basic hygeine?

You should support us just like your ancestors of old did against other Europeans.

I’ve thought about this. I don’t know enough about the UK to have a real opinion.
Yugoslavia used to be 1 country but now there’s Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia, etc. Is it true that England, Wales, NI and Scotland are much closer to each other culturally than those former Yugoslavia countries?

Should Catalan have a team then if they create their own FA?

Pretty much yeah. Is Brits think we are unique in having four distinct regions, but they are more closer than most people would admit and there are plenty countris with more distant ethnic groups

I disagree but even if that were true norf people don't see themself as British for the most part.

Wouldn’t it be better for them if they were allowed to field one British super team?

Would be interesting who will get the credits for the succesful spanish run in from 2008 to 2012 since the main origin of the success is the FC Barcelona.

Catalonia already has its own FA!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Football_Federation
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalonia_national_football_team

Sure. Why don’t they?

George Washington's ancestors come from the North East you Yankee cunt

sure, but even in that case they would be shit, like that they can cope, you know they are the specialists.

so why don't they play internationally?

Im assuming if they had a single team, the Scotts would count how few of their shitty players are making the cut, claim theyre better than the English players that did make the team. So yeah, I'm understanding.

>more in common with Scots
name 3.

As long as Gibraltar, Faroe Islands and Belgium have national teams I don't think there's a problem.

Bcuz scottland is a cuntry... Even those autists Wales is a cuntry.. Nudge nudge wink wink

The British and Irish Lions rugby team are made of all 4 countries (or 5 since Ireland plays as a whole) and no one really complains about unequal players.
In the last tour they won in 2013 against Australia, 15 players were Welsh, 10 English, 9 Irish and just 3 Scottish, lel.

Fat, gay, retarded

Hurts the British isles primarily since the other teams aren’t even capable of contending but will snag a premier talent that could push England over the top

Qe2 is an awesome nerdy sexy milf

Because it would be England team + Bale and Ramsey

Yes. They keep trying but Spain would never accept it. They threated UEFA with a club boycott if they accepted Gibraltar the first time they applied for membership.

This. I'm Northern Irish but I understand no NI player would make the team. Robertson would make it. Bale and ramsey. Rest English. But if it were to happen I think there would be English bias due to them being a huge majority. I like the Northern Irish team though. Very comfy.
Rugby fans are more understanding than retarded footy fans.

...

There's the IFAB too. The likes of the Welsh or NI FAs wouldn't want to lose such power they have over the international game.

>IFAB is made up of representatives from each of the United Kingdom's pioneering football associations—England's Football Association (The FA), the Scottish Football Association (SFA), the Football Association of Wales (FAW) and Northern Ireland's Irish Football Association (IFA)—and the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the international governing body for football. Each British association has one vote and FIFA has four. IFAB deliberations must be approved by three-quarters of the vote, or at least six of the eight votes. Thus, FIFA's approval is necessary for any IFAB decision, but FIFA alone cannot change the Laws of the Game—they need to be agreed by at least two of the UK members.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Football_Association_Board

imagine fifa had full control over the laws of the game

>Rugby fans are more understanding than retarded footy fans.
Too true. At Twickenham you can take your beer in, watch the match with a drink. Same story at Lord or the Oval. Basically you don't trust the chavs to behave

Accurate except for NI

This is true
Only people that call themselves british are pakis and nogs

there are actually 14 UK teams. but dont tell anyone. :D

FIFA needs to accept Cornwall, Isle of Man, Jersey and Yorkshire already. Nations League D is perfect for them.

Better than dressing like a whore, like your queen.

It's like the special handicapped kids in the school. Diversity, positive action, and so on. It's charming to see the whales, the english...

But in the end none of them matter.

Reminder that there is a FIFA ruling that prevents Spain and Gibraltar from facing eachother because the Spanish are THAT butthurt, a rule ordinally reserved for the likes of Israel v Palestine and countries currently engaged in wars.

>What do other countries think
lol who cares

I mean add a "Northern Irish" option and the British option in NI disappears

Where's the "Asian" option? London would be that.

Flemish people see themselves as flemish, walloon people see themselves as walloons and people from Brussels see themselves as people from Brussels.

Yet we only have 1 national team. Explain stupid bong. Face it: it's time for all your shitty teams to merge

How would you feel if there was a German enclave in Britain? Gibraltar being British is objectively bullshit. On the other hand, the Spanish do the same with Ceuta so they should not complain.

Shut up gay boy

Belgium isn't even a country m8

really, really, really, really, really bad idea

A lot of the rugby grounds sell beer in an actual glass, which you can bring to your seat with you.

I mean, if it was then Puerto Rico wouldn't have its own team.

>Why does your nontagenarian queen dress like a 90+ year old lady

How can somebody be so retarded?

Ceuta has been Spanish since the Romans. It's not the same as Gibraltar at all.

The Spanish didn’t exist during Roman times, you utter brainlet

The 2012 olympics proved once and for all that a British team works. Sold out stadiums and lots of TV viewers.
Also, Scotland voted no in the independence referendum, so they obviously wouldn't mind if they lost their national team.

It's time. Most people on that island WANT a GB team.

Gib back Anjou and the Cinque ports, EU cunts
and Malta and Corsica and that island in the baltic too. EU scum

>Most people on that island WANT a GB team.
Literally no one does though, least of all England.

No one cares or even remembers the 2012 Olympics lol

>Scotland voted no in the independence referendum, so they obviously wouldn't mind if they lost their national team.
this is the Scotch we are talking about. no way they would allow it, ever.

>Scotch
Yank on a proxy detected.

>least of all England.
The team would be much improved with players like Robertson, Tierney and Bale coming in

oh no did i upset you scotchman? hows the haggis hunting? (boiled sheeps stomach containing chopped up boiled lungs liver and offal)

has Mel Gibson saved you from all the rapiing yet?

I'm English cunt, 'Scotch' is a fucking Yankism and you reek of Yank.

As a Welshman I'd hope if we had a UK team it would be made up solely of Englishmen. They're the best.

>boiled sheeps stomach containing chopped up boiled lungs liver and offal
It’s unironically delicious

holy shit that's right London hosted the 2012 OG.
fuckin hell i had forgotten about that

The English FA are all for having a combined team for the Olympics, but the Scottish blocked it for Rio 2016. I think There'll be a combined women's team for Tokyo 2020.

no we don't, in fact we have more in common with the irish than the scots. Now fuck off back to Falkirk Angus.

A shame.

What the fuck happened in 2007 lad?

Tory Government began.

they added the devolution option to the census or survey or whatever it is

By that logic Bavaria should have a national team too since they're just as distinct a "nation" from the rest of Germany as Scotland or Wales are from the rest of the UK. So should Catalonia and Vasconia, or even Sicily and Venetia.

>Most people on that island WANT a GB team.
Haha no

>almost half for devolution
Yes it really would

irish financial crisis

In should be like in rugby: Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England.

Anyway, the objective fact remains that England is too shit scared to go independent because they'd literally die without Scottish electricity and water.

A reunified Irish team would be based, but it'd further weaken our claim to the northern counties we promised to give back.

So what? 1.8 million people leaving the UK isn't such a big deal and a united Ireland makes a lot more sense than GB+NI.

>Most people on that island WANT a GB team.
>Tierney
Fucking keking. You dumb cunt GTFO.

It's good to cuck other countries though, same goes for Spain and Argentina.

>Most people on that island WANT a GB team.
No they do not. Kill yourself, you Somalian scumcunt.

Oh look, it's a fat nigger Yank ape posting clueless shit. Again.

NORTHERN IRELAND WILL BE LIBERATED AND CLEANSED

No need. North and South would be better off together and would always be there if we wanted their help.

Enjoying yourself online there young fella?

Noethern Ireland is a net loss but the people want to be British

True.

i dont think you understand how much money the scotch are lecching off the proud nation of England. and no the oil isnt theirs its everyone in the UK's whether the scotch like it or not.

hoots mon! och aye tha noo! its a braw bricht nicht tae nicht!

Half secretly want it to be Irish and losing such a small, poor number would hardly make a difference.

So the region that calls themselves British is the region not on Great Britain

But when youd have to change the Union Jack

Why is liverpool red?

Because Gibraltar is a colony. It shouldn't even have a FEF and shouldn't even have a spot in UEFA. I hope this is fixed soon.

Cope.

You have team GB for football in the Olympics, don't you? It's still 99% English players so who cares

So we would have claim over Uruguay and Bolivia because they were part of current Argentina back in the colonial era

See how stupid it sounds? The Spanish crown to us is what the Roman Empire was to you

funny isn't it

No we did that once and it was dumb. Nobody wants a team GB football.

That was a one-off just for the novelty factor of hosting the Olympics.

What? Wikipedia says you've used that team since 1908 and you still used in the last Olympics

What team do you send if not team GB?

I don't particularly care, imho, splitting the talent pool in four actually works against you. You get four mediocre teams instead of one that is actually good.

We dont send a football team you stupid nigger. We still send team GB for everything else but we dont enter football.

If you had kept them for all this time then, yes, why shouldn't you?
But you didn't, so it's not the same situation at all.

>you stupid nigger
Calm down m8, I was just asking

You said "it was a 1 time thing", I googled and on the main square of the wiki page says "first game 1906", biggest result in the 50s and last game in 2012

It was logical to just assume you use it in every olympics

Lmao get fucked China

You go and convince the Scots to cheer to cheer for a team of English and Welshman and let me know how that goes for you

Robbo would get in to be fair. As it stands N.Ireland are probably the only one of the 4 that would have absolutely no one from their own country to cheer for.

well done, sorry to doubt you.

An American would never refer to a Scotsman as "Scotch." That term as a demonym is only used as an erratic way to say "Scots-Irish." Any American who calls a person "Scotch" is illiterate.

By that logic every American state should have their own national team. It's not the same.

>1.8 million people leaving the UK isn't such a big deal

That's almost 3% of the UK's population leaving. That's a pretty big freaking deal.

They should unify
Just look at the players in Scotland/Ireland/Wales, majority of them are just english people with muh heritage that were too shit for the English national team

>Scouse not English
Then why don't they have their own national team? They already have an FA

Attached: Liverpool County Football Association.jpg (500x500, 51K)

would unironically have more Scots, Welsh and Irish than English now though

Imagine Andrew Robertson and BAYOL on the left wing. Would unironically make the UK team a super power in football.

It literally is the same though legally speaking
Scotland and Wales didn't even have their own parliament until late 90s

As if.

It's giving up power to retain it. If we give back Northern Ireland, the rest of the Irish will be grateful and remember our historical ties. We'll be stronger than ever.

Most rangers fans I’ve seen think of themselves as Scottish before anything else

Scouse identity is a meme. At the end of the day they’re English

The poorest, most violent and religiouly backwards 3% (and yes I include Muslims)

>the Irish will be grateful and remember our historical ties. We'll be stronger than ever.

Do you honestly believe this holy shit

>The poorest, most violent and religiouly backwards 3%
That’s literally muslims

You've never been to Northern Ireland, have you?

Scousers are barely human.

I think the Irish remember your historical ties is literally the last thing you want.

Sure, they will. Don't we look up to the US? Aren't they important for us? It doesn't matter that they kicked us out of their country and then we were at war with them in 1812. We have links to them and we will have for a long time. We're like the US for Ireland.

You described muslims. Bet you’ve never been to Northern Ireland

England, Wales, Scotland, and N. Ireland aren't independant countries like the USA and Cananda are, you retard. They are all apart of the United Kingdom, which is a country.

Using your logic Peurto Ricans would have to play for the USA.

independent, you dumb fat american
