Makes you wonder why we don't put a team into the Olympics? England would but England are not allowed to field an Olympic Team - only GB can do that. The Irish, Welsh and Scots refuse to play ball and join an Olympic Team because they fear they may lose their footballing independence if they do. And the Olympic organisers won't accept a team drawn from only one of the four FIFA recognised countries in GB.

how come there's so many double-barrelled names these days? How come the word for double-barrelled is itself double-barrelled? haha that thought ocurred to me as well. I guess its due to the lack of people getting married so the children take both mother and fathers last surname. Sign of the times I suppose But anyway WELL DONE England you made us proud there lads
