AIBU to be English,  but really really want  Scotland to win the world cup.

Ok if the players are loved…the fans are the problem? Be a big help if loads of them didn’t go and cause trouble abroad I guess.

I don’t think many folk outside of the UK have Scottish football on their radar. They’ve been largely absent from international competition for decades. Who has played for them in recent decades that would be internationally recognised? To say they are well loved is a bit of a stretch. Yeah the are having fun in Boston which is great to see. However, I would think most people outside of the UK wouldn’t be able to name any of their squad. Of course that may change if they do well going forward.

I don’t think it’s true to say the England team are disliked either- they have genuine world class players- I believe the Germans in particular adore Kane, the Spanish love Bellingham- he took the time to learn Spanish etc. Beckham is doing wonders for USA football. Lots of positives these days- some really wonderful role models in the England squad past and present. Not sure what there is to dislike.

You're right, very bitter, that isn't banter. I think they are jealous that the Tartan Army have been so welcomed and loved. I'm sure many English folk will be embarrassed by these types of videos.

Why? We’re tiny. You have 10 times the population we have.

Yep, largely absent though- 1998 before then? I’m not trying to be rude or controversial- I always cheer on home nations- loved watching Bale for Wales. Just stating what I see as facts.
They’re not really very well known internationally as a team are they? They’re not producing world class players on anywhere near the same scale as England- men and women.
Maybe as a country this needs addressing at the grass roots level.

There’s a real bitterness I think, that comes from being the better team, but quite widely disliked, whereas we’re shite but well loved.

@Differentforgirls , apologies, not sure what happened however the quote didn’t link 😢

I hadn’t thought about The Quiet Man in years. It was always on when I was a wean because my dad adored John Wayne, so it just became part of the background at home.

Amazing how one tiny reminder can bring it all rushing back. I’ve even got a photo of my dad, bare‑backing John Wayne on the back of his couch, wearing his cowboy hat 🤣

No. We are the best country in the world and all are welcome. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Thank you.

Shouldn’t be difficult to work it out from context but some folk are hard of comprehension. Must be the horrible hard water down south.
