Thread Name: BS: Foreign-Farce Football
Subject: RE: BS: Foreign-Farce Football
"pride in our nation" (WLD)...do you mean when the tennis or fooball is on - GB or England?...

"...A similar mess over nationality occurs in the sporting world where English children, for example, can hope to play (perhaps managed by a citizen of a nation they may compete against) football for England, rugby-league for England/Great Britain, rugby-union forEngland/British Isles, athletics for England/U.K., golf for England/Europe, cricket for a combined England and Wales, or tennis for Great Britain - but Wimbledon is still The All England Lawn Tennis Championships…Anyone for friendly-rival republics?!" (here).

"in a country that knows shit about Association Football" (Tim)...do you, "fed up" or not, stand by that - given all the criticisms you made of me?
