Who will win the all important football match?

[Warmaster Horus]

Yes the one we've all been waiting for....<p>Northeren Ireland versus Denmark, the clash of the titans<p>pity its not on terrestrial tv

[IBBoard]

Denmark.  I think that they are higher ranked in the FIFA world rankings by quite a way.  NOt sure though.  Then again, it doesn't take much to rank higher than Nothern Ireland

[Warmaster Horus]

<p>what are you then?

[IBBoard]

I'm pure-bred British.  I was born in Germany on a British Army Camp.  My Birth Certificate is a British Military one, not Nothern Irish like Horus', or English like my mum's  or Scottish like my dad's.
I'm just plain British.

[Warmaster Horus]

Yay, we beat iceland 3-0 :):)

<p>well i be Cornish

[IBBoard]

Cornish isn't a nationality :p
Unless you are one of those strange Cornish people who think that it should be a country in it's own right

[Tech Priest Squeak]

nors English really, considering its only part of Britain, Englands really the Old Roman State

[IBBoard]

But at least England is a country in it's own right, and can therefore have a nationality.  A county is obviously not a country, and so cannot have a nationality specific to there.

<p>actually your both wrong, England was formed (as Angland) when the angles came over and shared the british lands with the saxons. Also, i remember hearing that  cornwall wasnt declared in the dooms day book or something like that, so id didnt count as england or in all the times after (nobady wanted to rule cornwall, hadnt invented cream tea shops yet:D)

<p>you're right, but i'm going back further in history than that, England (or the area that is now England) was concered by the Romans, thats when it really became a united state, and Cornwall, never concered by the Romans had was independant, until the whole of the Large Island was concered by the Normans

and this is geting a little off topic isn't it?
