"The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom.” -- Milton Friedman

But the concept of Scandinavia came into existence when Finland and Iceland didn't exist and were owned by Sweden/Norway/Denmark. So those areas were under the control of the three powers.
Then if you go geographically speaking, only Norway and Sweden are on the Scandinavian peninsula. However, looking at the map, the area known as the Baltic Shield (Fennoscandinavia) looks "together" in the same way Britain does, the Iberian peninsula, Italian peninsula, etc.
Ultimately, common English usage of the term Scandinavia is the Nordic countries, for many different reasons and concepts.

Well the English government is keen on a friendly Norway due to our coastline being quite ideal to harrass England with, and Bergen is a major port on our west coast... Might be it?
Wrong at the start. The "concept of Scandinavia" pre-dates our nation states by a milennium, the Romans were the ones who came up with it.
Then the english language is wrong, plain and simple. It isn't common usage in any of the correct languagues, ie. Norwegian, Swedish or Danish.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
