I would never have referred to the Scottish, Irish or Welsh teams as Brits. I've also never had the pleasure of seeing the latter teams play, but maybe in two years. Kiko may have been theatrical but it was a much more humourous theatricality than Pearce's -- talk about vile patriotics. On the whole though, my favourite teams and styles of play are the Brazilian and Italian, but soccer without national boundaries is a much more pleasing concept. Although it's kind of fun & better than the hockey situation with all its mercenariness.
