    It will be at the point where everyone suddenly realises they are no longer cheering on their nation but instead cheering on the political body that the political body will be doomed.

    Although maybe the brainwashing which takes place during the two years of compulsory national service to the EU army will alleviate that fear.

    We’re moving through a period of time where it’s now 100 years to commemorate (or to wipe away in some cases) an ugly part of our collective history. The Great War starting (2014), Gallipoli (2015), the Easter Rising (2016), etc. This is going to go on for another 20 or 30 years or so. It’s not surprising that someone has mooted that we collectively show our European solidarity 100 years after a fascist dictator hosted what is supposed to be a sporting event.

    Dog-whistle politics for the kippers, and some here who fall for it....
    I agree the Express is a load of nonsense.

    It seems to be the staple diet of the remoaners. Glad you agree it is nonsense.

    Not necessarily.

    Assuming something like this goes ahead (despite the kippers ranting, it’s still conjecture) selection may still be via NOC, so there may be the same total number of people but just representing “the EU” rather then their individual countries. Or they may still be representing their countries but totalling to an EU tally. Or something different, but still representing a combined EU.

    What’s important, as you say, is that the UK is well shot of this spirit of camaraderie and sits in the corner on it’s own mumbling to itself about how it won the war. And a World Cup.
