      First one is wrong. You have the Isle of Man in blue

      Jersey and Gurnsey are not even shown.

      They all compete as their own entities in the Commonwealth Games.

      Ita not quote right but when you put it like that , although I already knew it , seeing it is quite amusing.

      Unpopular opinion (probably): UK should play all sports as UK, and Premier League should include teams from all the UK.

    4. Connell95 on

      The rugby one is incorrect in having the Isle of Man in white – they don’t form part of England for international competition.

      People from the Isle of Man are actually able to pick any of the home nations to play for (the same is true for any of the Crown Dependencies)

    6. Rabid_Lederhosen on

      The Olympic one isn’t entirely correct. Northern Irish athletes compete for both countries. Used to be they’d all compete for Britain, because the brits had more money, but that’s changed in the past few years.

      The whole country competes as ‚Wales‘ in tennis and the Olympics? 😅

      It’s funny how only 1 of the 6 follows the lines of actual statehood

    11. CorkBuachaill on

      Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland football is a little more complicated than that. The NI players can choose their team. Olympics same but the football is more political

      The only time England have ever won a cricket World Cup was with an Irish captain lmao

      I absolutely love whenever these type of maps show up for the British isles (or whatever Ireland like to call them), because it’s so damn complicated, even the best researched and best intentioned have a little error here and there.

    15. Gentle_Snail on

      You missed the British and Irish Lions which is when Ireland and Britain join together in Rugby. 

    16. tradandtea123 on

      Cricket is even more complicated. As England is a full member nation and Scotland isn’t, Scottish born people can play for England even if they have previously played for Scotland (who are an associate member).

    19. Connell95 on

      One other (odd) addition to note is that in rugby, all of Ireland (including the south), England, Wales and Scotland also compete together internationally every four years as a separate team, the Lions, usually playing teams from the southern hemisphere like New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Argentina.

      People from the Ireland of Ireland can and do represent either Ireland or Team GB in athletics/Olympics

    23. brnpav on

      Isle of Man (ranked 47th in the world for t20s) want a word about the cricket map.

    27. Fantastic-Salad on

      Technically, technically there’s another, the Island Games, the Islands Olympics, but I guess you would have to only shade in some islands and blank out the rest.

    31. hatsforalloccasions on

      Having tried to research to find out why there was another independent state in Northern Ireland…why is Lough Neagh not shaded? Do the lake people represent sports differently?

    32. Warm-Teaching1323 on

      Can ROI citizens compete for Northern Ireland in the Commonwealth Games if they wanted to?

    33. omaca on

      Whilst interesting, there’s a nuance not shown here. Anyone born in Northern Ireland is either automatically an Irish citizen (if born before 2005), or entitled to Irish citizenship (if born after 2005, with same conditions as existed in the Republic before that date). In other words, everyone except those visiting or who don’t have residency rights; ie, 99%+.

      So anyone from Northern Ireland can represent Ireland if they wish.

    34. phantom_gain on

      My only question is why is lough neagh represented on this map? Thats a lake.

    35. idontremembermylogi_ on

      Cricket is interesting me here, because England Cricket plays in white usually, with blue accents. I can’t think of any time they’ve worn red, but I’m not really a big Cricket fan so I may be wrong.

    36. Ok-Imagination-494 on

      Northern Ireland briefly had a Cricket team, that participated in the 1998 commonwealth games.

    39. Mrgray123 on

      I completely understand why the different constituent nations of the United Kingdom have their own football and rugby teams but I have often wondered just how much could have been accomplished/won had the country been able to field teams made up of the best English, Scottish, Welsh, and Northern Irish players at various international tournaments – particularly during the 1970s and 1980s when Scotland and Northern Ireland had a few absolutely world-class players who never really had a chance to progress beyond the group stages. It’s a real shame that players like George Best, Ian Rush never got to play and a goalkeeper like Pat Jennings only played in a single tournament.
