I agree with most of the sentiments on here.
When I lived in Yorkshire I would support all the home nations. Since I moved to Scotland then I hope they all get stuffed at every tournament/qualifiers/friendlies etc. It's to do with the way most of the other home nations fans view England.
And before I get negative feedback...it's like Hibeejim21 says....I just couldn't support them....no way. And my ex wife is Scottish, and my daughter considers herself Scottish.
SCO puts it really well....it's not anti Scottish, it's anti Scotland (in sport).
As for the footy, after seeing Argentina get a masterclass in how to play good football with a cutting edge, the list of potential winners are getting smaller. Croatia were good, but they won't win it. They did put in a lot of nasty challenges last night, and this will come back to bite them on the arse later on.
Germany won't win it. They just don't have a world class striker.
Portugal won't win it.....a one man team has won World Cups before (Argentina 86 with Maradonna). But they just don't have anyone else approaching half his level.
So for me that leaves Brazil, Spain, France, Belgium, and yes England.
Lot of footy still to be played, lots of twists and turns. It's actually gearing up to be a really good World Cup.
