I’m in Liverpool and I’m not seeing any hatred for the English as a nation from anyone, anywhere, except here on this thread, which seems to have its own microcosm of weirdness. 
I’m seeing hatred for our yobby football “fans” from everyone, all nations including England. I’m seeing hatred for our embarrassing drinking culture, which is a huge issue, resulting in mindless mob violence and vandalism for no other reason than they are drunk and want to smash something up. Appalling.
But for the English as a nation, no. I can understand the Welsh, Scottish and Irish being annoyed at the constant presence of the World Cup in the media. But so would anyone English who is not into football.
But I will forgive the media and pundits their passion as it’s been a long time since the team got that close and they’re like excited kids on Christmas Eve.
The thing that Welsh, Irish and Scottish have to remember is that the media will go with what the majority of their readers will want to hear about. As England’s population is huge compared the other nations then yes, that means the majority of the U.K. will want to read about the England team. It’s purely numbers. Please don’t try and read anything else into it.
As others have said if there were a GB team and not the separate nations as in the Olympics then I’m sure all members of the U.K. would be happy to hear about the team (unless you’re not into football)
Maybe it’s because I’m from Liverpool and it’s a bit of a melting pot, history wise, but I just don’t see the frenzy of hatred that is trying to be whipped up on this thread in real life.
It’s true that most people in Liverpool have Irish ancestry and we have a lot of Irish people living here too so there is a lot of love between the two but we’re also on the border with Wales so a lot of us also have Welsh ancestry too.
So maybe it’s for that reason that I’m just not seeing the hate you talk about, OP, even on social media.
English football thugs and violent drinkers are the ones giving England a bad name but thankfully in my experience most people from outside the U.K. have enough intelligence not to tar all English people they come across with the same brush.
Unless you’re from a holiday resort abroad frequented by drunken Brits. And you note that I say Brits and not English because that sort of cultural minority group doesn’t seem to have any boundaries. There are Scottish, Welsh, Irish drunken embarrassing dickheads with no decorum just as there are English drunken embarrassing dickheads with no decorum. But it comes down to numbers again, and it becomes “the English are awful drunks” not “the British are all drunks.” Or not knowing the difference between British and English I suppose, which I can understand if they mostly all speak the same language.
