something to do with the fact that we normally compete as England, Scotland, Wales etc, if we were to compete as GB i think it affects our standing in UEFA or is against UEFA rules??

Something to do with the fact that we don't have a British FA, probably linked to what gljam is saying.

Nobody cares who the Olympic football winners are. Makes me wonder why they bother.
