There is an interesting motion tabled in Parliament calling on the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish Football Associations to pull their fingers out about an official British football team at the 2012 Olympics.
The EDM notes that the FIFA President Sepp Blatter the voting rights and standing of the home nation sides would not be affected at the FIFA table should we form a British side.
Personally I think it would be great to have a British team made up of the best from across the Home nations. However, someone in my office pointed out that perhaps we should have a mini-home nations tournament play-off and whichever home nation wins becomes the British side?

Home Internationals competition? Again? Can the new Wembley afford new goalposts after the Scotland tie?
Ask me about the "green bits" following the Scottish invasion.
Interesting, Pele included Ryan Giggs in his all star worl team, only person included from the UK.
