Why do England and Scotland get their own teams in the World Cup? Shouldn’t it be a UK team?

It’s like if Texas and California had their own teams

Texas and California having their own teams would be like London and Birmingham having their own teams. Scotland, England, and Wales are literally different countries you STUPID faggot

I guess USA, Canada, and Mexico should be all part of the "North America" team too

Texas and California having their own teams would be like two states having their own teams. Those aren't counties. Somebody should have told you Brits don't have to suck down American Civil War propaganda.

Why should England get to ride Scotland's coattails?

Puerto Rico has it's own team right? At least in the Olympics they go as a separate country

The way national teams work is kind of dumb. Curacao is not a country either. It's a territory of the Netherlands.

Because the Scotland and English Football federations existed years before FIFA, so FIFA couldn't just disband the various UK countries football federations. The UK could have just made their own UK football federation, but scotland and england didn't want to join.
