I think it does in the Olympics.

I think it is high time for the Scots to put in their own team for the Olympics

Well if they have another referendum perhaps.

The argument for not letting the Scots have their own team is, I understand not from the English
but, from the Olympic committee who take the view that Scotland is not an independent country.
Of course to be consistent, they ought to ban Greece on the grounds they're a 4th Reich dependency.

The best thing is that they lost to a corrupt, right-wing party with roughly banana shaped borders.
Seriously though, England had a very good team and dominated the game for about the first hour, they just got rattled after Croatia scored and never completely recovered from that.
Happens to the best of them.

Damn, your country is just so... YOUNG.

Did I miss something?
That song was made for the Euro '96, a tournment that was played in England (hence the 30 years reference to the last championship), and England made it to the semi-finals there, losing to Germany in a shootout.
I was wondering if anyone would comment on that. It's a joke from 1066 and All That, about how the ancient Britons misinterpreted Caesar's famous proclamation: I came, I saw, I conquered.
Great Britain was born in 1707 and the United Kingdom in 1801, but England as a kingdom dates back to Alfred the Great's grandson Æthelstan (927 - 939).
Of course. But i have seen it used as a put down to english football team aspirations in this world cup as well
Eg in the youtube video, there are comments like: "now it is 52 years of pain"

I'd say actual England dates back from 1066. Bow to your French overlords.
And I was just being purposely provocative about the age of the UK
William the Conqueror definitely kickstarted the evolution of modern England (and the English language as we know it today), but Alfred the Great is often listed as England's first king, with Æthelstan as the first king to rule over all Anglo-Saxons.
(Random diversion: it's similar in Scotland, with Kenneth McAlpin often credited as Scotland's first king, but it's not until his grandson Donald II that the titles King of Scotland or King of Scots are first used.)
