Britain and N.I. Dismal results.

[Questions]

England 1 - 1 Ukraine
Scotland 1 -1 Macedonia
N Ireland 1 -1 Luxembourg
Serbia 6 - 1 Wales

Not really a powerhouse are we ?

The Wales result is particularly tragic. I can only assume the passion and pride to play for your country is diluted in GB by the premiership being "more important", whereas the Macedonia and Ukraine teams are united by a patriotism and a give all for their flag mentality that is hard to produce over here.

Or you could just assume they know how to play football.
Wales losing to Serbia maybe be tragic for someone, somewhere, but Serbia is a team with many quality players. Wales is Wales.

Maybe not in football.

But the bulk of their male athletes only play football.

The UK going by the Olympics results have more world class athletes in other sports compared to those nations.
