If we played as a UNITED KINGDOM we could have won many world cups in football? Is Great Britain a model?
As a Great Britain as a model to many other countrie we should have one national football team to justify on what we are educating to other countries and people in terms of unity and integration of multi cultural community and so on!

Your initial statement is pure speculation.you have no idea how well the players would have performed as a team.just look at the current crop of England - many individuals could be rated as world class.but England have seriously underachieved for several years.
i would love to see that, but I'm part English part Scots and part Irish so i would, but there's loads of people who would take a fit just at the thought. oh well, maybe they'll drag themselves into the 21st century one day.
I think it would be good to play football as Great Britain. I am Welsh and it really annoys me when the NATIONAL news always goes on about the England team (applies to any sport) but gives very little mention of the other British teams - Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
But ,how many Irish ,welsh or scots would make the first team,absolutely "ZIP",,,,,We would win as many as we already have ,1.
the thing is, if we were to enter as great britain, whether the players were english, scottish, welsh or northern irish would be irrelevant. those borders wouldn't exist; everyone would be british. personally, i'm all for it. it's just some people can't imagine great britain as a football team. they can't seem to realise that although the ethnicity's of english, scottish, welsh and northern irish would still exist, it wouldn't matter, we'd all be british
dont think its a good idea im english and love englang not the rest of great britain
I think it'd be great to have England, Wales, N. Ireland, and Scotland to all team up to form one national team. Just think with all the great players from those 4 kingdoms.The UK could have one awesome team competing and I think it would be a better team than just Scotland, or just England. It'd be awesome to see, and I think they would be very good.
Although, I kind of like having the 4 separate teams..It makes for good rivalry that has existed in the UK for hundreds of years.
it would never work if we picked english players the rest would moan and so on where we went wrong was stoping the home intanationals every body looked forward to scotland v england but the f a had to stop them like every hing they spoile every thing so bring them back hands up who wants to see england and scotland
no because it would just be the english players apart from giggs
The Scots, Irish and Welsh wouldn't allow it. They would lose their national Football Associations and so lose their footballing identity - why do you think they are against a GB side in the Olympics. In the past each might have supplied perhaps a player to add to the England team who would be the basis of the side, but not now.
