Why is it that 'Great Britain' is represented during the Olympics as a 'Unified Britain' and 'England' , 'Wales' and 'Scotland' are represented INDIVIDUALLY during the football World Cup? Isn't that a bit hypocritical since football was invented in England and the 'Premiership' is the top league in the world?
So its ok to amass as many medals as possible from a multiple of sporting events during the Olympics as 'Great Britain' but fu** Scotland and Wales during the Football World Cup? Please explain...

Bollocks! The top leagues are Serie A and Primera Division.

P.S. You forgot Northern Ireland.

Fkn ell.... NOBODY seems to know the answer and by fu** its a pretty relevant question. I mean seriously, why??
Portugal goes as Portugal to Olympics and WC...
Hell..EVERY COUNTRY on EARTH goes as themselves to Olympics and WC!

[Get Real!]

If they were to merge most Scottish, Welsh, and Irish players wouldn’t be playing at all!

Maybe they should put some Welsh, Irish or Scot players in the team, its been since fkn '66!! Maybe they'd actually WIN the damn cup playing as Great Britain!

Same reason why a country the size of USA does not enter individual states in Global games of relevance, like the Olympics!

Football is just worthless trash

Then EU should do the same
And the US should have their 'States' individually represented at the WC...
Can you imagine Texas vs Brazil??
