The Scots can't let it drop. Anti English is in their psych. God if England held a grudge against every country we'd had a skirmish with over the years we would'nt talk to anyone.
Envy or jealousy ?

I’m not as confident mate, I don’t fancy anyone in the other side of the draw, Brazil would crush us and France looked great in the last game. Semis, I’d be over the moon, final, I’d be in dream land.
I think you may be overlooking the point that England as a nation are not very popular ......anywhere, you may not have realised it but I'm afraid to say it's factual.
I'm not for a second saying you are better than any of them, I'm just saying you can get through, I personally don't think your team is particularly good but who needs to be good to progress, you just need to progress, if Brazil go out, you can take anyone to PK's.

Would you care to provide the radio stations I can listen to that doesn't have biased commentary? All of our World Cup feeds come out of London. Radio and TV.
Not bothered about England getting coverage. Just don't mention them when they're not playing.
You obviously don't get the problem f you're saying change the channel. I shouldn't need to as BBC and ITV are meant to be providing for countries other than England.

I agree. It's not just the Scots. That's what I don't get, the English are in general fairly ambivalent towards other countries.

Sorry but why should the Scottish “support†the English teams? And what the heck is wrong with them supporting the opponent!
Blimey even bigots bring brought into it
You only have to read posts on this forum or indeed any football forum to see why non English will support the opposition and it comes down to pure arrogance and the feeling of some false superiority. It’s even enough for some English to want to have nothing to do with the England football team - people try and align it to some sort of patriotism and demand that all English support the National football team and even expect other UK nationals to get behind them - pure arrogance that you just see with the England football team.
Having the National rivalries with Scotland, Wales , N Ireland and Ireland are superb and wish they brought back the Home Nations Comp instead of meaningless friendlies

You and most of your nation I'm sorry to say, it's historical I suppose.

You mean there are no local stations doing commentary? I often listen to commentary on radio if Mark Lawrenson is on the Telly. Of course the BBC caters for Scotland. If Scotland had won a word cup or Euro championship it would be mentioned as much as an England success. The BBC go on about Brazil but i'm sure that dos'nt concern you as long as its not the English.

I do think the winner will come out of the Brazil half of the draw as they'll be getting stronger with each passing game.
I think a Brazil-France final would have been the icing on the cake for this world cup.

You see, you can't help yourself, any chance of a sly aside against the English. Get over it.
Not about getting over anything, your obviously blinkered outlook fails to see that England as a nation are not very popular, sorry to be the barer of bad news, but you need to get "over it"

I'm not sure how many ways I can say it to make it clearer. All of our feeds come from England. There are no local stations running commentary.
You're saying in a game between Iran and Peru it's OK to mention England's triumph in the dim and distant past 20 times in the first 10 mins?
If you think that's acceptable then crack on and we'll continue to want England to get beaten as it becomes very boring hearing how good you were 52 years ago.

Why take out your frustrations on the guy in the street though?
I actually agree with your point about the media, problem is, you take out your frustration on those with no control over it and have no idea how to answer the question.

I had the exact same conversation with a lad at Forest Pines the other week mate. He couldn’t grasp that 99% of the English population agree with him that the media are way over the top when it comes to Ingerlaaand.
Have you been abroad when locals have found out your not English ? If so, how did they respond once they found out you weren't English ??
btw, I didn't start this as an England bashing topic, as I have previously stated.

Wasting your breath, it’s a fact if the media say so, currently we’re all sat in our England strips preparing for the open top bus tour when we win the WC singing vindaloo
