a month of the newspapers forgetting other national teams exist in the UK

I assumed you were talking about the actual countries national teams rather than which ever nation you pick out of a hat/have a distant relative from/ enjoyed a holiday at, to support.

What I would like to see is a change from the normal practice of assuming the whole of the UK is will be supporting England. Whereas many probably will, a sizeable amount won't care whether they win or lose

So the majority have their coverage curtailed for the minority that aren't even participating and I seem to remember the Republic of Ireland getting a fair amount of coverage each time they qualified and they aren't even part of the Union.
Besides it could be worse. North Korea are only reporting anything on the World Cup if their team wins....
