1.) Is Inter(F.C International) a Italian Club or some sort of national team.
2.) does Wales and Scotland have national teams or do the players for those countries just play on the England team?
3.) I picked Tottenham as my EPL team. Are they a strong contender this year? I know they have a new coach and a few new players but not sure what to expect this coming season.

No. They are a club out of Milan that originally wanted to use foreign players as well as Italians, unlike their rival, A.C. Milan (known as Milan).

Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own teams.

No one knows what to expect, but it would be surprising if they competed for the PL itself. They could be good in some cup competitions. Mauricio Pochettino is a great coach, and I hope he does well enough to where he leaves for a bigger job.

1) fc international is a club in the caymans. the inter youre talking about (inter milan) is an italian club.

2) they have their own teams. hence why gareth bale will never play in a world cup

3) no matter what theyll crash at the end of the season so what does it matter anyway?

Thank you for answering my questions full and respectfully without insulting me. Like I said I'm completely new to the game.

For point 2, the welsh and Scottish national teams are filled with English players who qualify for wales/Scotland through some stupid rule where they have a welsh/Scottish grandparent.

The Scotland squad particularly is very heavy with englishmen, the welsh have a bit more pride in themselves, even if there's one or two English players in the mix.

You're really starting to give TNBhoy and RandySavage a run for their money for the title of worst SB poster. You have lots of potential, at least that much is obvious.

bullshite eh?

Off the top of my head

Matt Gilks
George Boyd
James Morrison
Phil Bardsley
Russel Martin
Liam Bridcutt
Jordan Rhodes
Jamie Mackie

All English, all Scottish internationals.

Tom Cairney, Chris Martin and Peter Pawlett (a Hull lad) have all had call ups recently too, who are all also English.

There are more in the pile too who I can't think of outright. Not sure there's any Irish in there though, not that I know of.

bullshite indeed.

Uneducated cretins.
