Is it not time for the England and Wales teams to unite as one? I am thinking of the wasted talent of Gareth Bale in a Wales team that will never ever have a chance of winning the European or World Cup. Contentious I know but I think it would make for a more formidable footballing power than we have separately now. The lack of English talent coming through doesn't bode well for the future, therefore an amalgamation of the two countries from a footballing point of view seems logical to me. Imagine Bale and playing for a combined England/Wales team, could be the difference between success and more failures. What you would call the team I don't know.

I personally think that, rightly or wrongly, the days of the UK having four national teams are numbered

I would rather we united with Spain tbh. Not that any England players would get in the squad.
You think we'll have a hunch instead?

So you think we should merge with a nation just because they turn out one player? I don't go with all this Bale is the second coming nonsense. Yes he's a good player but so one footed and injury prone he will be a liability. He'll do well in Spain in mainly a 2-3 team league

as for Bale
a) he wouldn't turn England into world beaters over night
b) he won't be the first top player not to have the chance to shine at international level (Best, Weah, Giggs etc.) and he won't be the last

I thought waleland was the old Paradox on West St.
The paradox was home to a host of all kinds of creatures. I met many a pig in there, the odd whale and some right dogs. Classy place.

NO!!!! One chink of light that suggests we're thinking about this, and most FIFA members will be all over it like a rash, and before we know it we'll be playing as GB

No never Bale who should get to 100 caps but will only play competetive fixtures a la Giggs for Wales will play Champions League for Real and knows thats the highest he'll play .If Scotland get independance next year Wales won't be far behind in pushing for it too.
As if uniting with the England team is going to change that....

It will never be the right time for this idea.
