This is nice. I am English but live in Ireland so my instagram algorithm is basically full of ‘hilarious’ Irish influencers pretending to be Spanish. I’m not normally in possession of a sense of humour bypass but after a while the constant bashing of the English just feels a bit mean and unnecessary.

(sorry just needed to get that off my chest 😳

Oh I thought the Irish didn't mind us. I thought it was just some of the Scotties that felt so strongly about the footie.

Bugger. Don't tell me the Welsh feel the same?!

I’m welsh and cheering for England. Pob lwc!

I'm scottish and going for Spain.

However in the women's euros I was very pleased when England won. Showed the men how it's done.

I totally understand why the other countries in the UK wouldn’t care, or have zero feelings about who wins either way, but I find it strange to have so much emotional investment in who doesn’t win? Seems very negative and odd

Erm, thanks. But I think that ship has sailed for a lot of England fans after all the (imo) pathetic chippiness from Scotland this tournament.

Katkins17 · 14/07/2024 21:05

I'm English, but live in Scotland either my Scottish partner and 2 half English boys....all supporting Spain.

I'm incensed but that just makes them more liable to support 'anyone but England'

Me and my arsehole cat are sitting elsewhere ... I don't even like football !!!

tuvamoodyson · 14/07/2024 21:06

Same here! Spain have just scored….

2Old2Tango · 14/07/2024 21:06

It's nice to hear the support on here, but I don't think any English are one bit bothered that some Scots are supporting Spain and not England. I find it hilarious.

Actually, those Scots can have a little cheer now as Spain have just scored 🙃

Scottishgirl85 · 14/07/2024 21:08

I'm Scottish and always support England once Scotland are out. To be fair I'm married to an Englishman and now live in England!

I hear you OP - I'm Irish and I hope England wins tonight too.

((ducks for cover))

Miggledy Higgins is on his way to tear up your irish passport

I agree @2Old2Tango I think the Scot’s are delusional if they think we care who they support. I’ve certainly stopped caring about Scotland and Im Sure they don’t care about that either.

Me too! I'm Scottish, in Scotland and cheering England on!

They've JUST SCORED!!! Woohoo!!!

Two of my colleagues definitely are and that's one small office. It is a thing. So you and BOP can "not care" all you like, that's great! But many feel smarted by it. It becomes political in the end.

"I have to support Spain because my wife is Scottish," my DH (English, but claims to be Welsh) told someone a few hours ago. His Scottish wife is supporting England😂

Are you Scottish by any chance?

BitOutOfPractice · 14/07/2024 22:07

Why should we care though OP. Whether Scottish people support us or not is irrelevant. It says more about Scotland than England at this stage 🤷‍♀️ it’s really not a good look. It just makes me roll my eyes.

I support a “smaller” team at football all year round. But getting chippy about bigger teams is just pointless. And exhausting. I’d rather just support my team.

Chickenwing2 · 14/07/2024 22:07

I would just like to say... I'm Scottish and I'm delighted Spain won. Wooooohooooo!!!
