Quite bizarrely, Britain has 4 seperate soccer teams, one for England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Considering how these "nations" have been ceremonial until very recently with the advent of devolved parliaments, this just seems odd and harmful to the quality of each of the national teams.

Even more bizarrely, they have 4 seperate soccer leagues. No other country that I no of has multiple top level leagues within its borders (not counting low ranking regional leagues). In fact, Major League Soccer does the opposite, covering both the US and Canada, probably because they need the economies of scale.

So how can we have a single UK National Team and a single UK Premier League?
