Debate - World footy rankings 2008 - Peace Team, Great Britain and Catalonia

Re Spain and Catalonia. If we assume Madrid is barely active and didn't compete as Spain in 2008, then we can't realistically rank them unless we consider the Catalonians. And if we assume they would not compete as Spain, as indeed they competed as Catalonia at the EU Cup, then I don't think we should consider them in terms of ranking Spain.

So that just leaves the question of whether to rank Catalonia as an entity. Are we ranking countries only? No, because we'll probably include the Israel-Palestine Peace Team, and Great Britain. But I'm more comfortable ranking conglomerate teams, i.e. made up of a wider area, than a sub-area.

Looks like things in soccer are not as simple as all competing separately either - looking like they will compete as Britain in the next Olympics.

Maybe the most telling part of that is that there has been no British
representation in Olympic soccer in almost 50 years, as the individual "home
nations" (particularly the Scottish FA) were concerned it would jeopardise their
future as individual sides in international soccer.
