While we are here why don't Southern American countries all link up and Europe. :thumbright:

exactly...

wonder what excuse the right-wing pro Brit/loyalist fraternity now develop, NOT to side with Germany ;)

- Germany is European (like the UK a part of it), and they always insist Wales should support England as it's part of the UK... same rules for everyone... :P

- "We don't like Germany because of the War..." oh really? There was a war with Argentina not that long ago... ;)

tbh, I don't give a flying feck if they support us or not, it's all politics and prejudice, and to argue one doesnt like a country's FOOTBALL team to win because of that cr@p needs professional help, as far as I'm concerned...

but I went away from the original topic, a definite NO from zee German side to a team GB... Cymru am Byth

I live in Germany and seeing how chuffed everybody is about the world cup is cool.... but it means nothing to the welsh.
Tell to wake up, we are less populated than most cities are...most of the planet think Wales is a town in England :oops:

That's almost like Bury fans saying that they should just join up with Manchester City down the road because they won't be in the Premier League any time soon.

It's a no from me, Wales forever :thumbright:





Jon, if recent proposals are brought back to the table "with financial incentive" you might well see the Bury/Manchester City link occur one day soon! LOL :lol:

Not too sure the analogy fits this particular scenario, though. Like it or not (as Scotland are about to find out) we are the United Kingdom and ultimately are deemed one country in the world away from sport ;)

Not having a go, just making a point. I'm as proud a Welshman as any, but a realist on the political front, too :thumbup:

Although we have a huge chance to qualify for the next Euros, the main reason why some Welsh people would want this to happen is because Wales never qualify for a major tournament. So the Bury (or any other team in Greater Manchester) analogy works in that sense as Bury won't be in the Premier League any time soon.

I know we have a 'Team GB' in the Olympics and other sports, but it would seem like the only reason we'd be in favour of this is so that we (the Welsh) can gain an easy entry to a major finals thanks to a heavily based English squad, and that wouldn't feel right to me as a proud Welshman.

except the several english born players in the squad :lol:

on a serious note i agree with you. Wales all the way
