By the way. There is no apostrophe in either the word 'ifs' or 'buts'. You DO NOT use an apostrophe to pluralise nouns.

lol :)

The football teams argument is not a valid one. We compete in rugby league as 'Great Britain'. We compete in the Davis Cup as 'Great Britain'. We compete in the Olympic Games as 'Great Britain'.

Do you see a pattern here?

Nope.

We compete in rugby Union as England, we compete in the commonwealth games as England. We compete in the Ryder Cup as Europe... so where's the pattern?
