Still surprises me, in the very home of association football, and notwithstanding all the petulant history, esp on the Scottish side, that the four British "home" football associations cannot in 2021 join together to form one "British" football team. #ThreeLions -> Four Lions
Yes I know the history of why .... The Scots, who as Billy Connolly (no relation) said, are the only football side that does a "lap of shame", actually have the most to gain here.
The British Lions in Rugby are a far more interesting team than any of the four British Home unions and there is no reason why a British football team would not also finally achieve the same & be more reliably competitive esp in World Cups. We are a long way from 1872 etc.
Anyway, hope against hope, but worry I will never again see Scotland in a World Cup (last in 1998). But I may see Scots' players in a World Cup as part of a British team. May be a worthy project for Prince William for a British union of football as well as of Crowns. #ThreeLions
