England has the best football team of all the UK home countries, i.e. consistently qualifying for major championships. England's players are household names, not only in this country, but around the world and whatever you say or think, people do want to read about them. Many people outside Wales, NI or Scotland would struggle to name a single player from any of those teams. Enjoy your summer next year supporting England!  |
And I remember you trotting out the same argument back - to which I said back then perhaps the newspapers should give us Celts a discount on the cover price or even charge you more - after all you lot earn the most out of the UK nations
Thing is though Wales has a better rugby team yet your national rugby team still gets more coverage so success seems to have little to do with it - enjoy the next few years getting beaten by Wales again
