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.

I am also half Scottish and can say quite happily who gives a shiny shit what the Scots think? About anything. They’re a pointless and expensive hanger on of the UK and I wish the English had been given a referendum on getting rid of them.

I don’t even really care about the football!

😄 Don’t hold back there…..

Well if the Scots wouldn’t pretend they are such an inclusive and welcoming nation - didn’t they welcome immigrants to come? - the message didn’t reach the protesters regularly outside our local immigrant hotel - then there’s the sectarianism, orange marches.

And the wonderful Scotland supporters - always pick up any rubbish left by their crowds - shame they stop doing that when they get home.

im Scottish btw

It’s only a big deal if you allow it to be - get a grip op.

Exactly! Why are people allowing themselves to get so wound up by who supports or doesn’t support them? England are doing really well so enjoy it!!

I think the majority of this thread explains why many Scottish fans don’t support England.

PrettyLittleRose · 13/07/2026 22:44

Do they though? Do all Scots want Argentina to win? Why do they care?

No offence, but England fans don't give a shit about what the Scottish think, or if they support Argentina, or if they want anyone but England to win. Literally, zero shits.

Edited

I beg to differ…this thread is getting pretty heated! I feel like they maybe do care just a bit…

stonkytonk11 · 13/07/2026 22:53

Not to mention the fact it’s about the third thread on this topic in the last two days

HotCrossBunplease · 13/07/2026 22:54

I’m Scottish. Fully Scottish, but I left to live in England when I was 18. I’m now 52 and can remember singing “We’re on the march wi’ Ally’s army” in 1978. I still have my strong accent and a lot of cultural pride. However, the childish “anyone but England” mentality makes me glad I stayed away and married an Englishman. (cf also sectarianism).

My Granny was an elected SNP councillor in the 80s. She never once resorted to juvenile anti-English comments, in sport or otherwise.

Come on England!

This thread explains why I support anyone but Scotland and boycott Scottish products

I’ve not read the thread, but the last thing I’d want is the sweaty’s supporting England. It’s a horrible thought and frankly ignores a footballing rivalry that is the longest in the world. The day the Scot’s support England at football is because they are better than England and feel sorry for them (like when I was supporting the victory over Haiti, bless…). I hope that the Scot’s never support England in football.

MyDarlingWhatIfYouFly · 13/07/2026 22:56

You boycott Scottish products?? Oh my Lord 🤣🤣🤣🤣

No it was fine as we know we were the real winners☺️

Norway had more chances, but Pickford did well, and Haaland's only contribution to the game caused you a goal to be dismissed. He gave Anderson a propper shove to he fair , funny that they will be on the same team next season.

It doesn't matter how well you play in a tournament though, ultimately it's the goals and Bellingham has been on fire.

On the night Bellingham was far superior to Haarland. He didn’t show up

And yet, Bellingham was distinctly underwhelming.

Yet there’s many people on this thread genuinely confused as to why some Scottish fans don’t support England and have tried to argue the point that either the English fans don’t care about the games or actually supported Scotland when they played. However, many people like yourself have proved as to why some Scottish fans don’t support England.

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.

I’m English and I’d always support Wales or Scotland - as long as they weren’t playing England!

Lol most of the world will cheer on Argentine. Even your coach said you got lucky on a Saturday.

That reflects poorly on “most of the world” then…

HAS to be a joke! 😂

Bellingham scored both England goals. The 2 goals that got England into the semi finals!

The things some people will do to bash the English is incredible!

Which shows just how bad Haaland was the same night.

In your opinion.
But we won.
So underwhelming that he scored more goals than you did in the whole tournament.

Bellingham was WAY better than Haaland!

I can only assume someone is having a laff by saying Bellingham was underwhelming! 😂

HNRTFT. My BIL is Scottish and was in Miami for the Scotland/ Brazil match .
He is supporting England 100% now .
