Well, yes, they can only win at home at their own ground…
Surely that map will be the same every single year though?

I'm an idiot!
To be fair, there had been a Polish country at various stages before that, so while he might just have been ignorant, I imagine they just don't think of it that way.
I suspect I've mentioned before, that when I was at university I had a chat with a French PhD student (as in he was French and studying for a PhD, he wasn't studying French) who was totally unaware that Algeria was part of France for decades until the 1960s. It's amazing how uninformed genuinely intelligent people can be about their own country's history.
These are a big country.
Would imagine Spursy aren't too impressed either

My Dad was given a lovely 19th Century map of Europe, just as the deadline approached for finishing the cover of a glossy travel brochure for the Côte d'Azur and Nice in particular. Boom, the perfect cover. It was only after 10,000 full colour brochures had been printed, boxed and distributed to Travel Agents across Britain that he noticed - Nice was still in Italy on the map.

Ireland has the same population now as 200 years ago, presumably due to mass emigration?

Interesting that Ireland's population is still the same. But England and Wales, just wow!
