Who in England actually cares about, supports or indentifies with the England team anymore? The idea of an "English" national identity is dying. More and more people today identify as being British, as do the vast majority of young people you will find increasingly have no concept of a seperate "English" indentity. So why do we continue to needlessly have a national team which is a relic of a bygone era?
It goes without saying that a United Kingdom team would be far more successful and Scots, Welsh and NI players to actually be represented on the international stage
Time for a United Kingdom national team?

You should post this on the Scottish boards to gauge the reaction
Although it seems, just as in politics, England wants to dictate what happens to the other nations in this Union of ours.

I would like a referendum to see if the English want Scotland to remain part of the Union.....it would be a landslide......
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like that too. I think England would be okay after it got its independence. Be brave my friends.

Would be great to see the Scots pay for their paracetamol and University
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why?
I guess you're one of those guys who think England subsidises Scotland?
Bless.

I would care as much about a UK team as I do about the England team. As in, not at all.

You can only live on Shortbread and Caramel Wafer exports for so long

Scottish whisky makes up 20% of all UK food and drink exports.

The oil also. Ideal time for Scottish independence I’d imagine was about 90, given the n sea reserves around then.

Baz, possibly. Although I'm sure you're aware that in the late 70s and through the 80s there were a series of reports about the amount of oil that were made top secret so as not to prompt an independence movement.
I'm looking forward to another vote soon in the next few years.

We have a UK national team already, it's called ENGLAND. Be honest only Bale would get anywhere near any combined XI.
I consider myself ENGLISH, not BRITISH, I always put that on official forms.
Speak for yourself OP
