I do think very strongly that it is an insult to the rest of the world that these non-countries are considered nations by FIFA. The Olympics have this right, there is only one nation and that is the United Kingdom. On the other hand, this Brit arrogance has caused y'all to shoot yourselves in the foot soccer-wise by preventing solid players like Aaron Ramsey and Gareth Bale from strengthening an English side that should really be the UK.

But Wales? You may as well say you live in Gaul or Camelot.
You're a special kind of stupid aren't you??
