Isn't it completely tinpot to reason like that?

Finland wants Sweden to lose in everything we do, but we hope they do really well. We have around 3x their population, better sports results in nearly every sport and has shat on them in several ways over the years, of course they're going to dislike us. But just because someone doesn't like you doesn't mean you need to dislike them back. A little brother picking a fighting with his bigger brother is cute and shrugable, a big brother fighting his smaller one is probably a bit of wanker.
Thank God the Finns only beat us in javelin and kärringkånk. We can live with that!

Jerusalem would be good. Rule Brittania also, although the British Empire vibe probably removes this option.
It’s fine. FOS is about slaughtering the English, and Les Marseilles about killing Austrians. Any self respecting anthem has to have a dig at someone. Wouldn’t be proper otherwise. Leave the rainbows to the newer countries

Have just spent a week in Scotland (for a book festival), and then 6 days in Germany - where obviously there were loads of Scots. All I can say is that every Scot I met was exceptionally friendly and - despite consuming huge quantities of alcohol - remained very civil.
Good luck to them.

Anyone who wanted to see such a limited side in the final stages of a serious competition needs their head screwing back on.

Unless they’re actually Scottish, obvs.

They were no better than us, which is saying something.
This is true, but there is a big difference. England have been woeful but can be much better, Scotland have also been woeful but with absolutely no chance of improving - of course now they’re out of the tournament that’s irrelevant.

In 1978 I was working in Scotland. It was just after England beat them 1-0 at Hampden Park and just before Scotland were due to play in the World Cup in Argentina. The animosity to anybody and anything that was English was palpable. I have nothing against the Scots and I find them a great bunch to be with - but definitely not in the summer of 1978!
