One question.

Are you a 'The Rangers' fan?

Not really sure what you are saying.

Do you mean 1 nation, 1 league, all the way through?

Or do you mean just for the Olympics?

I honestly don't know why we have Welsh teams in the English league. Surprised UEFA allow it.

cant see it personally, they have already started a u21 league as we have done away with the reserve league so we are starting to try and bring the youngsters on.

think the next thing from that will be a European cup version but only for u21, so this idea will be good for English clubs and players to progress anyway, think they would rather leave it as is rather than combine them all.

Yeah just one nation one team.

And yes I mean for the whole of football in this country. Not just the Olympics.

There is already a European Cup version Jenners, the Nextgen series that we played in last season and are again this.

The Scottish and Welsh hate the English (aww bless!), so it would never happen.


Thank god!

I don't think it's a bad idea in terms of having a better team and stronger league, but too many people (myself included) consider themselves English, or Scottish, or Welsh, for it to happen.

The same could be said of Scandanavia in terms of making them more competitive, but it doesn't mean it will happen.

yeah i thought that righteous but was just wondering if the age thing is dif.

but the next gen is under 21 as well isnt it so , i probably got confused somewhere, sorry mate liquid lunch lol, there is another few brain cells i have probably killed

Next Gen is u19 actually, so I suppose there is a bit of a gap in the u21 market.

we should keep the independent nations it's also part of football history, but i would have loved a british world cup bid were england, scotland and wales were to host.

Stupid idea in my opinion (not no offence meant ) team GB take part in the olympics but in the commonwealth, european and of I am not wrong the world championships its team England, Wales et al....
Rugby keeps there own national teams but if the took part in the olympics would also be team GB

It would need the consent of the FAs of all 4 nations. The FAs of Scotland and NI refused to be part of team GB for the Olympics on the basis that it could undermine their future right to compete as individual nations. As 2 of the 4 FAs are therefore clearly opposed to what you are suggesting I don't think its going to happen anytime soon.

I think that the likelihood

There's a very simple answer to this poser and it is that large aging egotistical men like to have as many dinners in European capitals as they can and suggesting that there should be less of them is very bad form indeed.
