The Welsh FA have said Gareth Bale was ill advised to be seen wearing a Team GB supporters shirt as the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish FA's risk loosing their independance.

This argument has been used for the past year or two that if we have a GB team for 2 weeks next summer then FIFA will remove the FAW, SFA and FAI (or whatever it is called) and create some GBFA!

I dont understand why they think this would happen or why they think FIFA would do this.
Anyone help on this?

Seems to be a view that FIFA don't like the home nations being independent.  FIFA have assured the SFA, FAW and FAI that their independance wouldn't be lost if they were part of Team GB but they don't seem to trust their word.

Probably not surprising if they go by the historical evidence in that department.  Roll Eyes
