Welsh, Scottish, and Northern Irish people are all glaring at you right now.
Yes, but not for football. Except at 2012 when they were hosts but that caused all sorts of ructions around team selection as Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland didn't want their players selected.
Team GB has competed in the mens football more than once and been captained by a Welshman. In fact, we won the Gold medal three times as Great Britain.
And, OscarMeow: all sorts of problems with this statement: a) you have no idea about the history and culture if you can say this: b) I hope you’re not American, because that’s really not a place acting like one country at the moment and c) please don’t tell other countries what to do, that’s our ancestors’ schtick and should probably be avoided.
The full name of Team GB is "Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team", therefore saying it's a UK team is largely accurate (although places like the Channel Islands can also represent Team GB), the nickname is just inaccurate.
Drop that hundo!
I bet you also think baseball is only playing in America
It's that simple really.
..5/5 on the razor's edge
Our women's team, on the other hand, is pretty amazing!
And contrary to disciplines like handball (I think you Mericans call that ''European'' handball), where America is also inept, football has been played in the US for a long time and there's much money in it too.
@jmellor13 already mentioned Belgium, but think that even Croatia (11th place in 2021) is way ahead of the United States with a population as little as that of L.A. - not the metropolitan area, but the city itself!
Somehow forgot Germany lmao

Their thrashing in 2022 against Morocco, a real rising team on the world scene, somewhat put a blow on them.
Nonetheless they had some renewal since, with Doku, Openda, Trossard, De Ketelaere, Vanaken, etc. They sure are strong.
It looks at your current ranking relative to the adversary to calculate the expected result (chances to win), then depending on the difference between that and the actual results it transfer points from one team to the other. The only arbitrary part is giving more weight to official competitions but every team follows the same formula (which is public, anyone can calculate it).
Belgium got a high ranking as they had strong results. In 2018 they only got eliminated in the semi-finals after a very tight match vs France, and it was arguably the hardest match France fought (though you can make a strong argument that Argentina was harder to beat). Belgium was in the top tier of that world cup.
