AIBU to wonder why the UK gets 4 teams in the World Cup, whereas France only gets one.

[TheKittenswithMittens]

Why don't we play as UK in the World Cup? Why do we get 4 teams when everyone else gets just the one? It would bring an end to anyone but England sentiment.

Wait until you find out who sets the rules for global association football.

If we had UK team we might win as we would have the best of all four countries together

What about rejoining the EU and having an EU team?

Doing what?

Maybe they thought women couldn’t ride bicycles because their uteruses might fall out or some such thing.

Wouldn't be the first time.

I occasionally refer to "Northern Britain" as it irritates the hell out of my husband's awful Nat supporting family.

I'm pleased to report all 4 nations are being represented in the World Cup.

Although that's the world cup darts and not football.

PP pointed out that women’s cycling wasn’t a thing at the commonwealth games in 1978 so how did you compete?

It would be a great username.

Oh dear, what a shame. I’m more concerned about the diabolical liberties I’ve taken with my Welsh grammar.

Because I’m English, so want England to win. I’ve no interest in Scotland, Wales or NI, and would guess equally they have no interest in English football. Plus, the reality is that a UK team would still consist of only English players, as I don’t think there are any decent Welsh/Scottish/NI players are there?

There definitely have been in the past - not up with who is currently good, though.

But you didn’t because women’s cycling wasn’t not part of the commonwealth games until the 1990’s

So you are calling me a liar?

At the very least you’re seriously confused.

You’re either a lying woman or a man.

Which is it?

No, it was a 0-0 draw with England in Glasgow.

Neither

Explain how you competed in a category that didn’t exist?

Oh wait a minute, Don't dis my three legged race medal. I trained for 5 minutes for that medal.

And anyway, that's not the only medal I have. I came first in being an auntie too, so stick that in your UK pipe and smoke it...

Do tell …

She’s not a woman

The three other home nations have a few good players.
