fifa and world cup rules favoring uk teams are truly world crass bs. instead of 1 team from the uk, there are many possibilities for several uk teams to qualify. they can compete as england, scotland, wales, northern ireland. and in some world cup instances all 4 could qualify and compete as 4 separate uk teams. what passport do brits carry when they travel? a british passport, an english passport, a scottish passport, a welsh passport, a northern irish passport, or a uk passport? bloody hell, only the british are given this special treatment in fifa and the world cup. imagine the u.s. are given the same treatment for all 50 states. or the federation of malaysia with peninsula states, sabah, and sarawak fielding separate teams for the world cup. why only the uk or britain is given this special treatment? bloody shit. all of uk (of which england is a part) should be trashed and defeated in every world cup as they dilute their talent pool by “cheating” to qualify with several teams. they will never make it back to hold the championship with such a boneheaded exploitation of this special treatment.
