The Welsh FA are considering changing their name after the World Cup.
Crash, what's your take on it pal? Can't see how it will make any difference.
If England were to change theirs, what would it be?

Hasn't Wales always been Cymru? How is it any different to Sweden saying they want to change their name Sverige or Germany to Deutschland? They have always been that within their country/language but on a world stage like football all countries usually go by their anglicised name.
It'll just change people from asking "Where the **** is Wales?" to "Where the **** is Cymru?". They'll then still ask "Is it part of England?"
