Maybe this is a stupid question, so excuse a Yanks ignorance; but, why does England compete as a separate nation? In the Olympics, she is part of the United Kingdom. Wouldn't a better team be fielded - and the odds of winning improved - if the best players of England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland were combined under the Union Jack? There isn't a team from Bavaria or Catalonia, right? It just seems like the Brits are cutting their chances.

search me,I know nothing about soccer, or any other ball games :confused:
I suppose it's to do with the early history of the game.
As you say, the UK (pro tem) fields a single team in the Olmpics,
in the (ongoing) Rowing World Cup, etc. etc.,
but under the (geographically and constitutionally incorrect) name of 'Team GB'​
