UK has not a national soccer team at the World Cup or European Cup. Such a national team existed only for the Olympic Games (but only until 1972, however it was resumed in 2012) where no one cares for soccer.

Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England all have their own team. UK is the only country in the world which can send four national teams to the World Cup due to the history of their teams.

Scotland did qualify the last time in 1998 for the World Cup, Northern Ireland in 1986, and Wales in 1958. But they all had a little bit more luck at the European Cup. England's team is the most successful of them.

I wonder how UK would fare if they combine all their efforts for ONE national team.
