This accolade goes to FIFA President, Sepp Blatter!
Fifa insists a Great Britain team has to play at the 2012 Olympics but, in doing so, has said each home nation's individual status will not be affected.
As a very proud footballing nation, nay, Nation, We the English should not be made a party to this violation of our heritage.
I don't see Spain and Portugal uniting as one, Italy and Switzerland or the Scandinavians, so why try to impose this awful dereliction of National Pride on us?
He says:
"We have confirmed in writing that they have to provide a Great Britain team for the 2012 Olympics," said Fifa president Sepp Blatter.
"But the four British associations will not lose the rights and privileges acquired back in 1947.
"They will play with one team but it is up to them how they do it."
Blatter added: "It can be a mixed team, it can be from just one of the home nations, whatever they want to do."
I have one comment for Mr Blatter, "Go boil your head and try to sort out the offside rule!"
Thank you to Little Man in a Toque for this banner!

My DH is in total agreement with you as am I. What kind of total stupidness is that???
Whoa I just realized that this was for the Olympics...I thought it was for the World Cup.
HOW CAN HE DO THAT??? He shouldn't get to decide that. That's an Olympic committee thing and they wouldn't force you to play with Ireland & Scottland.
We are true football fans here...not that stupid game with the funny looking ball and helmets!
As an Azzuri fan from Canada I support your comments. Absolutely ridiculous. Yes, go and try and figure out that fiasco of an offside rule. It's incredible how trivial it is. Too many potential goals are missed or reversed because a toe may have been off. I feel for those linesmen. Korea was the epitome of terrible officiating.
