    The one advantage is, since British Troops will conduct the ceremony without opposition, at least we'll be spared a possible ignominious defeat. Also, unless the Footy team is going to wear red jackets with brass buttons and bearskins/busbies, the Trooping could be a bit more colourful. (Football players do not need to get such a shine on their boots, because it all cracks off after the first kick!)
