I think with that line up we'll need a "TEAM RESTOFTHEWORLD" to stand any chance of beatimg TEAM USA.

Of course, I would play for TEAM UK, but they can't afford me....

 

[james adkin]

Na we brits could smash them up no probs!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sid]

Pick me.......

Okay just to let the World know that by far the best insert player this side of the Mississippi (remember that from school) is available and willing to play this event.

Heres the deal

I'm born in Scotland
My Dad is married to a Welsh women
My Grandad was English
My Grandad on my Mum's side fought in Europe during the War so chances are I will have some relations there.
My Grandad on my Dads side was in the Navy so chances are I will have relations across the rest of the World.

So if this works like Scottish Football I can pretty much play for anyone.

So Craig, you remember me, pull some strings and get a Scottish/Irish/Welsh Team across, we all know the UK Team will be ALL English, and believe it or not but there is actually some talented players in the rest of the UK. I will hold a try out for all the players wanting to go.

Go on......we will make it interesting I will stand for Captain...there.

Jerry doesn't even PLAY!!! I know he coaches GZ, but as a co-capt, doesn't that mean he's supposed to be a PLAYER?

And, I know Jerry reads the boards. Hi Jerry. I still have that pic from Skyball '99, ya know.

call me soft arse

but one of my ambitions is to play for our England squad.

Nowt wrong with that is there?? You gotta give yourself some goals in life, footballers do it so why can't we.

Now that's pride f'kin with ya son.

 

[Tony - Stupid Troopers]

i'd love to play for England too. any chance of the English getting a team to go over?

 

[Al Woods]

we usually do

Edwards played for 'em last year, amd a few others obviously.

I think the captain of the most highest ranking team from that country gets to pick his squad....I think, could be sooooo wrong though.

I still wanna play though.

 

[Tom Tom]

I'm eligable for the Welsh squad if that needs a helpin hand???

 

[wee-man]

we could just join the two teams from scotland together to form team scotland im sure we could beat all comers. Cameronian Warriors, that would have them all worried. And sid have a bit of pride in your country of birth and stop being a paintball slut.
