I really haven't met anyone who's pleased we lost.
Guess I just hang around classier people

My parents were Irish and were grateful for the life England afforded them despite my father spending his war years in the armed forces being abused for being Irish.
I am Coventry born and raised, wouldn't consider supporting anyone else but my hometown and my country, England.
I had one this morning in Riyadh, a gentleman with an East Midlands accent went large that England were beaten last night. I said the better team won and no complaints. He said that will teach the English a lesson. Lesson learned Lord Haw Haw( younger readers can google him, other browsers available)

I know quite a few people who are happy for England to fail. I think they argue that a brief search through some history books might explain where this comes from. Coupled with the perception that everything within Britain is Anglo-centric.

I've never been a fan of international football - even as a kid - so it's only ever been CCFC for me. Don't really take much notice or interest in England games. Saying that I was routing for them and hoped they would go through. Southgate seems like a calming influence and the players are young, so I would imagine they will get some success in the future.
I'm not patriotic in the slightest. I'm a republican if anything. I'd describe myself as British before English. I'm one of those who doesn't like the St George cross as it does have sinister undertones for me. Saying that I do hope the English guy or team wins if I happen to be watching anything.

I love the England football team, not arsed about any other England sports team and not patriotic in the slightest. None of my family are English more than 1 generation back and it’s all chance where you are born anyway. Nationalism is absolute nonsense. Still love the football team though.

Last night on Twitter was like the internet had been turned back on in Scotland, after being off for a month.
I never support Scotland or Wales at any sport. The majority of their fans hate the English, so they don't deserve my support.
What I do hate is people like Andy Murray and certain media personalities from Scotland, who claim to quite like England, because its good PR. I'd rather Murray was sat in a BBC studio wearing a Croatia shirt, that putting on a fake persona.

Lives in London. Wife is English. Child is English. Despite the throwaway statement made 12 years ago about supporting 'anyone but England' (and no-one ever questions Tiger Tim's banter before that, it's quite possible that by now he does quite like England.

I don't see why some have gone to the extent in buying flags and shirts of the opposition.
It's a little bit sad, especially as they are dog shit themselves. Could understand them taking the piss if they were better.
It's like Nuneaton Town trying to take the piss because we got promoted from League 2.

No it's not! I couldn't bear to lose the Proclaimers, Karen Gillan and deep fried Mars bars.

What people fail to understand is that Rugby fans are happy to watch a game. Anyone who has attended a Rugby match will often find neutrals who just want to see a good game.
On a personal level, I support Coventry City and given the choice I would prefer a successful Coventry City rather than England any day of the week. But I don't have a choice, I always cheer for England and the Brits in any sport (even though I am of Cypriot origin). But if Coventry City were playing England in anything it would be the mighty Sky Blues and would want England smashed!

It's a bit more extreme, it's like them going out and buying flags / shirts of every team that Villa play in the FA Cup.
Even just trying to give Villa shit is the same thing though, unless we play them next season!

Just re-read the original theme...yes, I do know people who are English born and bred and adopt an anti-English stance.
I remember my old teacher at stringer saying that he would always support whoever england were playing against in the football. It was a Marxist thing.

He’s a sweaty sock what do you expect, they never have a team to support at these tournaments, so result in supporting England’s opposition, sad really.

I lived in Edinburgh during the 98 world cup......the anti-english sentiment was rife....there were pubs proudly flying the Argie flag down on the Leith Walk.....
I reckon some of the Scots get more anti-english if they've actually managed to qualify as they did in 98.......

They'll be close, but I predict a gutsy narrow defeat by Gilbratar for a play-off spot.

I think they are just jealous that they are not good enough,I also think we need a new competition for the lesser nations like Scotland so they can play at a tournament for once

You're out, beaten by the better team.
No amount of venting your spleen on the sweaty socks will take you to final.
Suck it up.

totally agree. Spent loads of time in Scotland, never had a problem. You'll see Scots and English mixing quite happily on holiday, (not saying there is never any issues).
Remember going to Yugoslavia many years ago and the Dutch and Germans were knocking fuck out of each other every night, I didn't realise how bad it was between them.
