I wasn't calling England the "British national team" in my original post. I was colloquially referring to the public, press, journalist and the media as "the British".
Funny that your username is an anagram of mire.

Here's a dictionary definition:

noun
  • 1. a stretch of swampy or boggy ground
  • 2. a complicated or unpleasant situation from which it is difficult to extricate oneself:
 
But the English are the only ethnicity who embrace the "British" identity, unlike the Welsh or Scottish who don't consider themselves British. Plus, the England football team has "God save the Queen" which is actually the British anthem; so it's entirely justifiable saying "the British".

That’s true to an extent. However the Scots were given a choice to leave a few years ago and decided to stay in the Union. So a majority must have considered themselves British enough. Even if they’re Scottish first.

Not sure what God save the queen has to do with anything.

To be fair, I can understand your confusion. Most England fans wave the British flag and they also use the British national anthem before games.
It's almost as if some English people don't even understand the difference themselves
 
I bet everyone that contributed towards it feels like wonderful human beings and have made sure to let all of their Twitter followers know about it.

It blows my mind that someone has given £50 to some guy who is pretending to give money to a girl who probably had no idea about the twitter stuff
