  “There are nine countries (10 if you break out England and Scotland)”
  It’s 10. Scotland and England are recognized as separate countries by FIFA.

  I concur with Rick. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each have a national soccer team *and* a patron saint. The UK doesn’t.

  True enough. Unfortunately the map maker thing I used didn’t differentiate between the two so I had to show them as united. I wasn’t trying to make any kind of statement. I happen to love maps and the Timbers and Scots, Englishmen, Welsh, Moldovans, and most everyone else.
