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.

It is up to the people of Scotland to decide.

I saw a Scottish fan saying they hoped England would be Westoned. Nice.

Nasty piece of work.

Btw, ours is “Flower of Scotland”.

Think your getting mixed up with the sheer amount of posters you’re insulting.

No she isn't getting mixed up. I'm not sure what your aim is but you're very good at blaming others while stirring the pot. And don't bother replying. I'm watching the match. It's getting tasty.

That's strange, it’s constantly mentioned on the BBC.

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.

Yes, that’s why the better together brigade were trying every trick and lie in the book to keep us, they just LOVE subsidising us! 😂

I couldn't imagine caring what people outside my country felt about my football team. It's irrelevant.

Yeah I agree with you, it's all so pointless

MrsShawnHatosy · 15/07/2026 20:57

I’m Welsh, DH is English. I support the England football team, I have nothing against them, it’s their rugby team I can’t stand. DH supports Wales at rugby no matter who they are playing.

Don't think you'd know him? I'll try and find it he commented on a Scottish anti English post on Facebook

if you don’t know that, I suggest you discover AI.
Has it reached up there?

Fingers and toes crossed for another goal. They deserve to win this match.

There’s no dramas on there either.

But the SNP is not managing your affairs is it?
failing NHS
failing education
drug capital of Europe
rising taxes

No, actually, many powers are reserved to Westminster, including, crucially, our budget. Most of our taxes go down, and don't come back.
As for the NHS, etc, take a look at England. You're failing in all those places and more too, and no one is controlling any of your policies or budget.
So less hypocrisy.

lovecotswoldsliving · 15/07/2026 19:33

So you will know Hackney is very diverse.
Inverness was definitely not

Is that an underhand way of being racist? I'm not sure what else you could mean that to insinuate non-white people commit more crimes.

SourdoughSally · 15/07/2026 19:36

To be fair, I'm English and I'd support pretty much anyone over Scotland. So it cuts both ways.

As it should be. If this was typical of both sides, no one would give it much thought. No one expects France or Brazil to support England or Scotland, they're different countries. But so are England and Scotland.

Oakcupboard · 15/07/2026 22:10

i don’t care who win as long as England don’t …800 years of oppression will do that to you 🤷‍♀️
