England don't want the home nations, they never have done. As it stands they are seen as the big fish in these parts by the rest of the world. If they lose to us, Scotland or occupied Ireland then they might drop in the estimation of the rest of the world.

In other words England don't lke playing us because they are scared of losing. Boo Hoo! :lol:

Drop FIFA, UEFA.

Reman Home Nations "World Cup (for home nations)".

We might have a chance of qualifying...

It was Scotland who pulled the plug on the tournament, not England

No, it was England.

England preferred to use the dates for more lucrative friendlies.

wrong in every way
Scotland decided that they were not going to enter,then England withdrew because there was no point without the Scottish fixture. Scotland then formally with drew but made sure they kept the England game. ( I was a journo covering the story at the time)

Yes but since then the idea of bringing it back has been raised a few times and England don't want to play because they are scared of losing. Booo Hooooo :lol:
