Maybe it’s time to do away with the four home nations and go for team GB.I would imagine it's effectively England + a few token games in each of the other countries with only England getting the automatic hosts slot.
It's a dual nation bid, UK and Ireland isn't it?.Would Wales, Scotland etc drop their support for it if they were told they'd still have to qualify? I suspect they would in an attempt to get an automatic spot. I wouldn't mind if they dropped the whole hosts qualifying automatically anyway. Would give us more competitive football in the run up to it and if we didn't qualify it would be our own stupid fault. Would still be a great spectacle
Yes.It's a dual nation bid, UK and Ireland isn't it?.
Not an England bid.
My point being, if Scotland, Wales, N Ireland and Ireland were told they wouldn't be getting an automatic qualification spot they (IFA, SFA, FAW, FAI) could voice their displeasure in wanting to host it in their countries, which would be catastrophic for the bid as a wholeIt's a dual nation bid, UK and Ireland isn't it?.

Of course it’s an england bid with other nations added there would be no bid without the FA and Wembley.It's a dual nation bid, UK and Ireland isn't it?.

not sure why we need to add another sovereign nation though in The republic added. That I don’t get.
Would you rather Solomon Islands and Tahiti get in rather than Colombia and Chile?2026 is US, Mexico and Canada.
48 countries there, UEFA will have to accept lower numbers getting in via qualifiers, won’t be a problem. Quite ridiculous is the fact CONMEBOL have 6 / 10 qualifying.
