"well if it is an all English team then it can't a all BRITISH team, because then it will have to include Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish as well won't it"

Jesus, what a bunch of fuck-ups we are on these Islands.

In the 21st Century we are still all in thrall to the failings and deceits of our forefathers, unable even to cobble together a football team for a kick-about sporting competition due to petty racism and the backward thinking of the majority.

If everyone is so scared their culture is going to threatened by some people with a common heritage having a game of football I would suggest you get a new culture. If it's that fragile then a gmae of football isn't going to make a difference.

It's a good thing some people have the foresight and wit to see beyond this sort of parochial crap and try to build bridges, or we'd all still be sticking car-bombs under each others cars and running away and rueing the day The Windrush docked.

But then some might like it that way.
