As for the team
It would be a minefield, plus if it were put together successfully FIFA would probably push for a regular UK team. This could affect the status of the home FA's as being individual which in it's current state pisses off a lot of the footballing world.
I think Blatter in the past has dismissed that scenario but I think there is a lot of distrust which is why you see a bit of caution especially from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Also, would you trust Blatter - he seems to go a bit crazy with his power at times
I figured a four team competition to see which team represents would be ideal. There would be absolutely no guarantee that England, although strong favourites, would win. Also you have to bear in mind that the Olympics are for Under 23's and is it three slots for over 23's? There is no guarantee who will have the best young side in a few years time. The Welsh have a lot of faith in Aaron Ramsey for instance, it could be a close competition if it were to happen. There is probably something I have overlooked but I thought it was a possibility.
