Aibu thinking Scots shouldn't be wanting Argentina to win against England?

It's getting beyond banter now imo.

I know plenty of Scots agree with me.

I'm half Scottish (dad) so always support both. In the past I'd probably want Scotland to win if it was them against England to be honest. Although now because of the Argentina support I'm going off supporting Scotland.

I desperately want England to win this one more than against any other team.

Naw. Mon the Argentina!

ScullyD · 13/07/2026 18:53

Ha ha. Actually Scotland has a long history with Argentina and football! Look into it…

im torn. I’ve been supporting England as a Scot but its getting scary now and I feel we’ll never hear the end of it 😜

LizzieSiddal · 13/07/2026 18:53

Anyone is entitled to support whoever they like. I wouldn’t worry about it.

Gettoachiro · 13/07/2026 18:53

Anybody who cheers on the Argies who isn't Argentine is a complete numpty. If you want England to lose, wait for the final - it'd hurt more 😕😵

Support who you want. Don't police other supporters. Stop reading or listening to wallies.

Tomorrow night in our house is going to be interesting: England Vs Spain (we're a mixed household). I shall be watching Brooklyn 99 on the iPad for the umpteenth time, not giving a monkey's.

Anyone but England 😂

Sorry but it’s their own fault. You can’t even watch the tennis without hearing about it!

ColdAsAWitches · 13/07/2026 18:57

Why? Scottish people aren't English and they aren't Argentinian, so they can choose who they want to support.

WallaceinAnderland · 13/07/2026 18:57

You can't tell people who they can support OP

Noshadowsinthedarkness · 13/07/2026 18:57

I mean there’s some fairly strong history behind why the Welsh and Scottish support anyone except England….

I’m indifferent but I can’t imagine many English supporting Wales or Scotland rather than the opponent either.

What if they're not English either?

I agree with @LizzieSiddal
You can't tell people who they should be supporting.

I'll be supporting Argentina. I can't stand the jingoism associated with the England team.

Nadilla · 13/07/2026 19:00

All this kind of chat is a bit childish and embarrassing surely. Support whoever you want and enjoy the game.

RoseBlueuet · 13/07/2026 19:00

You again. Leave the Scots and everyone else be. England has plenty of support so no need for these tedious borderline obsessive posts!

And stay off Reddit

No, I think it would be a lot funnier for them to lose to Argentina again, than it would to lose to France or Spain. The history adds to the salt in the wound.

So dull. YABVU to think you have a say in who anyone else supports.

Arlanymor · 13/07/2026 19:05

People can support who they want. What has it got to do with you @Engerlund?! None of your beeswax who others choose to support or not support. I generally don't give a crap about football (to be honest even when Wales are playing I can't get that excited!) but on Wednesday I will support England because I lived in Stanley for four years. Actually if anything that means I am really supporting Falkland Islanders... braces self for slight confusion because a weird number of people seem to think the Falklands are in Scotland!

UniquePinkSwan · 13/07/2026 19:05

Anyone but England

OneAmberFinch · 13/07/2026 19:06

I have no opinion on Scotland but while we're on the topic I really enjoy the people who support Argentina because they're against colonialism. That's like supporting Rhodesia because you're against colonialism...

I wonder why? Bangladesh also as very keen on Argentina

DappledThings · 13/07/2026 19:06

Who cares who anyone else supports? I wouldn't have any opinion at all who I wanted to win if Scotland were playing Argentina so why should I expect anyone Scottish to support England?

I only have a mild preference for England to win over Argentina anyway and I'm as English as they come.

Minasama · 13/07/2026 19:08

Scots always support anyone but England, despite all the money we’ve given them over the years (I remember reading it was about a 10% uplift per taxpayer back when they had the independence referendum.)

In return, we think they are dour and have midges.

Throughahedgebackwards · 13/07/2026 19:09

I'm English and I wanted Argentina to win. The sooner it's all over the better. Didn't watch the game, so wasn't cheering anyone on, but would have been very happy for England to crash out.
