Yeh, that would prove to FIFA that we don't "do" sour grapes! ;D We could invite Celtic and Rangers (whose FA did support us about FIFA) to take the place of the two top Welsh clubs in our leagues - that'll teach the Welsh not to mess with us.

almost no-one (& to be fair we perhaps should count the jocks as 'no-one') has backed the FA
our FA is a joke,no leadership,no continuity,nothing
just calling it The FA (as opposed to the English FA) is seen by EVERYBODY outside this country as arrogant.

Well considering it was the first Football Association when it was formed, it would have been known as the FA, there's no reason why other countries couldn't call their "associations" something different.

Well I wouldn't be surprised to see a revival of a Rous Cup to reward the Scots and try and pour scorn on the rather limp renewal of the home nations we've just seen.

Have the teams that abstained been named or are you just assuming Wales weren't one of the 17?

The problem we have as the english fa is that we've allowed our top league pimped to the highest bidder, we've allowed said bidder to create the global brand of the EPL (shudder) and in return,our clubs have been paid very handsomely to become sky whores. One down side of that is that we become everybodys bitch. Our public image is one of an over inflated ego without any real success in ages,selling out at every opportunity available,having to fuck up with the fa cup final and play off finals so we can bitch ourselves to eufa,then expect everybody to listen to us. We're the dirty skank whore of international football riddled with aids, no wonder nobody wants to touch us is it
