Nothing to do with most of their players playing here and one of them actually being called Jason SCOTLAND.
Scotland is going to this years world cup.
What the hell are we paying these people for.

Re: The anyone but England thread!
So, those you of that are Irish, Welsh and Scottish etc - if your team had ever one the world cup, what would you have done? Had a quiet civilised drink and decided not to mention it ever again, let alone have any hope or dreams of ever winning it again?

To be fair it only seems to be since the early 1990's that we seem to have become obsessed with winning the thing again, I don't seem to remember us making much fuss about it before.

And I don't see why Engalnd fans should be derided/despised/set upon for doing so. The only reason I can see for the rest of British football fans with the CHILDISH mentality of supporting anyone else but england is pure jealousy. They can't even qualify, let alone have a hope of winning the sodding thing. Which England do. a ha ha ah ah a ah ah ah aha ha.

Not so much the England team but seeing the English Broadcasting Corporation are already starting to go overboard on the coverage.
Still it might be an idea for another competition, taking bets on how long it is into the commentary that 1966 is mentioned (It was 7 minutes last time), how long before Rooneys injury is blamed for a loss and for the 1st football hooligans to be described as 'British' instead of English.

But your right - get the stopwatch out - i'd be VERY suprised if the even make it to kick off.

Enough said, your reply though seems to have been the most childish in the whole thread, why should i be expected to support England?

No i was quoting from dezzo earlier in the thread and including my response to his point.
Given it looked like you had overlooked earlier points made.

Because England, like Scotland is part of the British Isles? Love thy neighbour and all that?
Even if you're not into all that, I do find it immensely childish to have the 'anyone but england' mentality. If England weren't in it this year, I'd support Spain (my dad lives there) or (if they'd qualified) ROI. Mothers team.

So you will be supporting France then too, given that they are your neighbours.
British Isles goes for nothing.

No, I added to my post. As you'll see, I wouldn't have the 'anyone but scotland/ireland/wales' train of thought. How immature would that be?
I'd support Ireland because I'm half Irish, or Spain because that's where my dad lives.

I like Spain, any country that stops work at mid day for a bit of a snooze is fine by me
