I wouldn’t exactly call that a loss for three corners of the UK

Technically this was only a loss for half of the UK and a clear win for a quarter of it (Northern Ireland plays with the republic in cricket)

True. Although doubt the Welsh will be crying too much about this one

I mean England and Wales are represented by one team. That said they don't really have that many players

That’s what I mean though. Although they’re technically the same team, I doubt many folk in the Valleys are going to be crying into their pints tonight

Scots have their own team though. Also played in this wc, but got knocked out in the 1st round.

ISomeone said all of the British Isles are in shambles or something like that. That is why I said the Scots wouldn't shed a tear. The Irish Scottish game was awesome. Not quite Pakistan India but pretty satisfying.
