I'm not in to sport so I'm not 100% how the terms affect the content of the team.
I'm guessing there isn't a GB football team, as it would be like the English team, only worse.

quote. Britains A.murray won the tennis today. Quote. Scotlands A.Murray lost today. simple as that.

Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain and Ireland part of the UK

[4WheelDrifter]

And Cornwall is part of none of them.

Trust a 'scotchman' to get it wrang - LOL

There's many an Irishman that will not be laughing though...

Its complicated - Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales

Then we have 'Great Britain and Northern Ireland' which is what it says on a British passport.

And of course there is the 'United Kingdom' which is a more convenient way of saying 'Great Britain and Northern Ireland'

I have no idea where the Channel Islands and other oddball places come into this, but (the republic of) Ireland is absolutely not part of Great Britain, nor the UK - but it is part of the 'British Isles'

Told you it was complicated - I for one have no allegiance to any flag - unless it has four rings or a prancing horse on it.

Cymru's quote is brilliant - sums up the 'British' thing rather well - it was a bit like when Eddie Irvine as winning races he was British but when an also ran he was Irish.

British Isles - Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey

British Islands - Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey

United Kingdom - Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales

Great Britain - Scotland, England, Wales



Ireland - Generally keep themselves to themselves and dont get involved with the UK/GB.

Northern Ireland - Still deciding whether their Irish or British.

Wales - To busy with the sheep.

Scotland - To busy trying to gain complete independence from England.

England - Still getting over the fact that we have no empire.
