England should piss this given they were embarrassingly relegated.

Surely that was just stage 1 of our world-domination plan? I heard the FA have bought a contaminated wasteland to build a 60k stadium on for stage 2.

You might be getting confused with the Birmingham City world domination plan.

Scotland have won once in the last 14, against Gibraltar. It's very small heath to try and give it Billy Big Bollocks. Mind you, play in blue, obsessed with their bigger and better neighbours, support whoever is playing them, they are small heath!!

Plays in blue so Small Heath is desperate stuff. Enjoy the Farmers League.

Thinking about the Rice and Grealish allegiance thing, is it me or does this seem to happen mostly with Ireland?

I can’t think of any Scottish or Welsh players who have switched. Can anyone enlighten me?

Quite a few Northern Irish players switched to the Republic after representing the former at some age levels. There's one lad who has switched between Scotland and England about four times at various age levels, I've forgotten his name though.

Ray Houghton was Scottish who switched to Ireland.

He never actually represented Scotland at any level though, I don't think. You couldn't switch in those days, as a rule.

This Carsley is no Southgate and if he not careful lacking the pragmatics will struggle at senior international level if given job as he's really only a youth coach. Being this tracksuit manager and wanting to join in seems wants to make up for not having a top playing career.
I'm wondering why Carsley already trying to shoe horn players in by having Grealish as a 10.
Gordon is obviously ahead of him on the left and really if you want a 10 that's Eze.

Grealish of course can play that role and Carsley must be looking for him to be chief creator today however JG has been a winger for a long time now so why is Carsley selecting someone not in their club positions clearly trying to upstage Southgate. And he's also starting Maguire!
Making you look a bit silly now.

His posts look like AI.

Grealish looks a different player compared to his role under Guardiola

Switching at underage level doesn't bother me, but Rice represented us at senior level, so I get why some people might be annoyed. Personally I don't give a shit and am finding this quite hilarious so far.

Never knew about Houghton.

You’d think there would be a few kids of Scottish people living in England who had the opportunity to play for one then switch.
