Early in his premiership, Tony Blair wanted to create a GB-wide national football team. Wisely, he did not try this. But if he had, I pose two questions.

1. Obviously, he would have failed. But how would this failure have looked? How far might the efforts to put it together actually gone?

2. In some magical world where the Great Britain team was actually created, would it have fared any better than the England/Scotland/Wales national teams in future tournaments considering that it would have had access to players from all three nations? Let's assume the Great Britain team is created in time for the 2002 World Cup.
