Tell you what, Spindles, how about Lions FC vs Team ANZAC?
That way everyone will be so busy hating the rest of their own team, there's going to be no chance of hating the other side.
You're right though - the vested interests of the FA's in the UK are so strong that there's no hope of a unified team - in fact, the individual FA's are currently stating that they will fight against a GB Football team being put together for the Olympics - even in London 2012, just because it creates a precedent and they fear that.
The fact that the UK gets four votes at EUEFA and FIFA to every other country's one is also a huge factor...
Anyway, didn't Australia invite the Kiwis to be part of their commonwealth after independence?
Did you not have enough sheep of your own to molest?
