I do wonder if they competed as the UK how many more World Cups would they have won. Imagine George Best, from Northern Ireland, playing with all the great English and Scottish players from the 60s and 70s.
The last thing the UK’s Deep State wants is a happy, patriotic citizenry that is feeling its oats and is champing at the bit.
Italy is a lost cause.
The UK is not.
I’m rooting for the Brits and the Three Lions. :-)
