... And why is it that the team for England, N.Ireland, Scotland & Wales is labelled as "Team GB"? Northern Ireland has no representation in that title.
Similarly, Wales has no representation on the Union flag. Is it any wonder that in the past Welsh athletes have done their 'lap of honour' carrying the Welsh flag?

Anyhow, back to the soccer. At least the English Football Association never tried to claim that the F.A.Cup was for world competition (unlike American footballers). They only changed the name from "The English Cup" after Cardiff (Wales) won it!

Cymru am byth!
