It wont happen will it.? Itll be full of English players so why bother.?

Are there any Paddys, Jocks or Sheep Worriers that would fit in.?

Gareth Bale maybe, anyone else

He's retired from playing for Wales! Maybe this is how it could work? Play for GB but you can't go back to your Country?

from what I understand the FA will never sanction it as if Team GB enter a team it could allow other nations to contest why England, Scotland, Wales, N Ireland and the other 'home nations' get to enter their own teams in national competitions and may also affect/reduce the number of home nation club entries into euro cups

crying shame really

I'm struggling to think of any great outfield players we have that would get into a British team (James McFadden maybe) but a couple of our 'keeprs, Craig Gordon at Sunderland and Allan McGregor at Rangers would be in with a shout of a starting slot, especially after some of the shocking displays by English 'keepers over the last few years.

Why would you assume that? Do you seriously think he'd pick players based on his own patriotism rather than their ability?
