One thing I really don't understand is being shown in this thread. Barring any previous racial problems (which we have been told are irrelevant to the discussion) between the English and Scots (and to a certain extent, the Welsh), why can certain members not be happy that at least one team in our Kingdom is doing OK. Why have the attitude that "My team have failed, everyone else should too"?
I personally want England to win the world cup. They probably won't, but they seem to be having a go at it. But, I would be perfectly happy to see Scotland, Wales or Ireland do well, or even Win.

That's the difference bewteen them and us. If England weren't in it and ROI were, I'd be after ROI (mothers team), or Spain (dads home). And I certainly wouldn't be supporting 'anyone but Scotland or Wales'. It's incredibly childish and bitter.
I think England stand as good a chance as any. We do need to click more (and I think that started yesterday), but as players go, ours ARE amongst the best in the world.
