England although mediocre at major tournaments have on average done just as good as Africa's best (quarterfinals/round of 16) but have done it more often and even reached the Semifinals after beating Cameroon in 90,I know there's hope for Africa if we can get it together as England are not as good as they believe they are but seem to punch above their weight more often than African teams!folem wrote:What rounds do England make their exit at WC?Scipio Africanus wrote:No argument from me on that one.

The African game is fundamentally weak, or weak on fundamentals. That has gotta change, or we just have to be content with 1st and 2nd round exits at the WC.

I know for a fact that there was a UK team!

Distinguish the difference between Uk and GB Olympic teams and understand non of these two teams could ever play in a World Cup or continental competition.
Again go back to the title,I wasn't asking you if or what you knew I was answering what I was asked : There was no way a team called the UK has played an African team accept this and move on pride goes before a fall!Kabalega wrote:Everybody knows that UK and GB members cannot compete in the Olympics separately.Eaglezbeak wrote:It was never an official (see above in bold) team 3 exhibitions as UK (like Catalonia and Basq country games) it couldn't play in any FIfa competitions and has never played an African nation even team GB only recently featured in the London Olympics as hosts and way back before the British home nations joined FIFA they stopped entering GB teams for the Summer Olympics in 1972,the first ever international national football match was played between England and Scotland and no British team out of England,Scotland, Ireland (note they where separate from the very beginning) and Wales wanted to join FIFA originally!Kabalega wrote:Where did you get that idea from?Eaglezbeak wrote:For someone that comes across a self proclaimed professor you are not sure if there was ever a Uk team, ok.I never have problems when making mistakes that's how we (I) grow but a lot of us (Africans) are too proud to be seen as normal mortals (especially between ourselves as most believe anything outside of their own),there was never an official UK nation team (you failed to question that live with it) and that's why the title was wrong!Kabalega wrote:Are you sure that there has never been a UK team?Eaglezbeak wrote:The question was wrong from the very start "England or the Uk" no clear specification was made for a clear answer as there is no uk football team (GB Olympic team would be precise),so the question should had been on African teams beating England or/and any other Uk national team,you see no exam board in an organised part of the world would put out such a question as the answers would vary way too much right or wrong!Odas wrote:As always, what the thread poster (starter) said or wanted is different from what many people answered or provided in response.

We also know their IFAB arrangement and FIFA situation.
It also does not take Einstein to realize the UK & GB members hesitate to field teams for the Olympics because they fear losing their current arrangement with IFAB and FIFA.
The question was very simple and clear.

The African game is fundamentally weak, or weak on fundamentals. That has gotta change, or we just have to be content with 1st and 2nd round exits at the WC.

Kabalega, Only in Uganda are such results deemed official the amateur FA in the Uk couldn't even find such a result in its scrap book,the rsssf is excellent for digging out forgotten miscellaneous results but that's a great find,Kabalega!26 September 1956 - Great Britain 1 Uganda 2 [1-0], Lynn Road, IlfordEaglezbeak wrote:
