At least the English won it once before. The Sottish national team has about as much recognition in world football as a slice of mouldy bread.MurderousToaster said:As a Scotsman, I'm personally all for these guys:
If you think I'm being racist, irritating and whiny, just to put it into perspective, the English are still going on about winning the world cup 44 years ago. If they win it again, we'll never hear the end of it.
I'm aware of that. Personally, I don't really care about football. But for the past two months, TV has been clogged up with "ENGLAND 2010!!!!one!" adverts and, frankly, it's irritating me. I walk into a Co-Op in Scotland and see lots of England flag-bearing products. This happens every world cup, and the England supporters are so convinced they're going to win. It's just plain irritating. I understand that the English want to support their team, but do they have to be so damn in my face about it?Valkyira said:At least the English won it once before.

That's just our way of doing things. The 1966 world cup is the only time England did any good in a world cup, and by people hanging flags on their cars and painting their faces, they think we can do it again. It's naive to think that England will win, but we are a proud nation who gets behind our team and supports them. Next world cup will be the same. But what I hate is when these so called 'proud' English men and women show their patriotism to their country only when there's a world cup on. You would never see it any other time.MurderousToaster said:I'm aware of that. Personally, I don't really care about football.

This picture warms the cockles of my heart...
I used to watch all Champions League and World Cup games but then I got rid of my TV and haven't watched a single football game for over three years.
