I mean GBR is getting so much crap for Brexit. In my mind, why not just get rid of all countries if you are going to give them crap?

No. It's just you that thinks this. Maybe look up what the EU is and what it's there to achieve before you comment again. Aside from embarrassing yourself, you're also being moderately offensive.

What I do think is weird is how much you struggle with English. If you need some tutoring, any of us Germans would be happy to help you. Even the French could probably give you some English lessons (who, btw, are not the same country as Germany, nor ever will be).

Are there still Germans in Germany? Must be somewhere I can go to experience European culture.

That is an interesting question.

Here is another interesting question for your brain:

1) Why does Coach Alberto always look like he has to take a sh*t when he is running in a race, and acts like a total sh*thead at the same time???

2) For example (e.g):

3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_SkBU09maA

4) Answer:

5) No one knows the answer to this interesting question.

6) Oh well.

Well they managed to destroy Greece without a single tank rolling into Athens this time didn't they?

Or are we all just pretending that didn't happen?

The UK would be represented but it makes sense, given the political situation in Northern Ireland, for an allowance to be made for NI citizens who want to represent Ireland so Britain is used as the default UK team.

But it's really the UK team. So the home nation was indeed represented.

Some of the top Eurocrats have been floating the idea of a EU soccer team at the World Cup and even one EU Olympic team.

Not long after the Brexit vote, an EU parliamentarian posted on her Twitter an Olympic 2016 medal table with the EU at the top but without GB ( to show how small and insignificant we were compared to the EU). A British MP then tweeted an Olympic medal table with all the GB and Commonwealth medals together as one team - which would be more than the USA and the EU combined.

Jurgen the German hates his identity because of his nation's genocidal history. But at the same time the EU allows Germany to control Europe without committing another literal genocide (but a cultural genocide of all national identities).

---

Literally nobody is floating that idea.

Also, the whole 'They want to make a European super state' is just some the pro-Brexit nonsense that helped convince idiots to vote for brexit.

The EU discussion revolves around supranationalism vs intergovernmentalism. The EU claims to be an intergovernmental organisation.

This is not true and it actually uses both supranational and intergovernmental structures in its organisation.

It is absolutely true that, among the senior ranks of the EU hierarchy, there are many people looking to the long-term establishment of the superstate. There are very few to no people who are looking to repatriate powers to the nation states.

The EU and ever closer union absolutely are about the creation of a superstate. Anyone who does not realise this can be safely dismissed.

---

Right...where to start with this nonsense.

Every single European country is fiercely independent and protective of their culture and identity. Most states tolerate the EU as they see the benefits in free trade agreements and most members get a net financial benefit from being a member. Stop talking bollocks.

This championship is in the UK. There's nothing complicated about this.

In fact there was even a vote in 2014 about whether Scotland would become an independent country and the Scottish people decided against it. So it turns out the home country is represented as we can see from the Briton Laura Muir winning yesterday.

Apologies if sound like a fan boy - but been a while since Scotland has had a T&F Star like this - and she’s down to earth and nice at the same time.

Scotland is a country within that State - as you even pointed out yourself! Therefore the home nation / country of Scotland is not represented.

A state/country is any arbitrarily defined political region. It’s nonsense, as are any rules you’re trying to pull out of your behind.
