UEFA would back it apparently.

We deserve to have it again. Should have been England in 2018 but the Ruskies bought it.

The Chinese are the great threat this time with their money but it's Europe's turn in 2030.

Well if 2030 is to be in Europe as per FIFA's policy we must be in with a good shout.

If nothing else, Spain, Italy, France and Germany (the other four most likely in terms of having infrastructure in place etc...) have all had a go since we last did, so we have to be ahead of them in the queue if we want it.

On a side note, could you imagine the media pressure which would be heaped on the England team if it happened, given the obvious precedent?

If in Britain, why not share between the home nations, obviously with the final at Wembley.
Share the interest around the UK, keep all interested :thumbsup:

Well, a Great Britain team would share the interest round the UK - and that could be the price for UEFA's backing. Wouldn't surprise me............

On today's talent, the team would mostly be picked from Wales and England, with token effort from Scotland and NI, IMO.

All the time FIFA decide where the World Cup is going to be held, England, Britain, the UK or however we bid for it, has zero chance of getting it.

Oh goody.

We're going to join an allegedly corrupt bidding process again, pull out all the stops to try to win, then whinge and whine about corruption when we don't win.

Why would it have to be a GB team exactly? Did South Korea and Japan share a team?
