Supporting the other Home Nations in sport

[AmexRuislip]

The only home nation I ever support is Northern Ireland.

Having seen the video of the Welsh players celebrating Iceland's win last night, I absolutely hope Belgium thrash them. I want Belgium to do to them what New Zealand do their rugby team - crush them. I want Robbie Savage to be crying.

Just because they beat Slovakia, Russia and Northern Ireland they seem to think they're world beaters. They're not. They're just like England, who they lost against, except they've got Gareth Bale and Charlotte Jackson from Sky Sports News as their managers wife.

Wales played like NI, Iceland and the rest, basically because they wanted to win.
We only beat Wales because it was Premier league and Championship rivalry at stake, not wanting to lose face I guess.
England never really gave the impression they wanted to win, too much swagger.

Supporting Wales, and if they fall then loyalties go to Germany.

I would have supported Wales before seeing the team celebrating England's defeat.
Now I want to see Iceland go as far as possible and Italy to win it.

Both real teams.

I hope Belguim stuff Wales . I do long for Scotland to get to a Finals just so they feck up worse than us.

Would the England players have done the same, if situation reversed?

They would have been too absorbed with their music and their phones

Edit
Also they would not be watching it together. Probably all in separate rooms!

Wales can fxxk right off

 

[Seaber]

Italy is my second team, Wales used to be third until I lived there. Love the country and the people, just don't like seeing them do well at sport

Iceland have been the perfect underdogs throughout, no bad bones with them. I'll be rooting for them against France.

Personally couldn't give two shits about other home countries to be honest. I don't celebrate them losing though, they just don't concern me.

 

[chucky1973]

NOT a chance, they hate us, they support whoever is against us. I am wearing my Belgium colours with pride on Friday. I hope they get a proper stuffing off them.

 

[Diablo]

Sounds like I`m in minority...I would love to see Wales go as far as possible...Bale has IMO come across well.

 

[Seasidesage]

I don't want Wales to win on Friday, but then I didn't before their 'celebrations'. I've never understood this wanting the other 'home' nations to win. They are our local rivals, historically our enemies and I wish them nothing but ill in sport same as they do us. You can also add the French and the Germans to that list. Oh and in case you were wondering I voted remain

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Of course they are going to laugh at their big neighbour getting stuffed and they are still in the game. I am at a meeting tomorrow and will have to put up with a load of friendly guff, but I will be supporting Wales from here on. Here comes humble pie.

+1. Come on Wales !!!
(and I have no connection to sheep, singing or steel)

 

[silky1]

I support England. Why would I then support another side?
When the Albion are knocked out of the FA cup, I don't look around for a replacement.
If I was going to however, I would at least choose a team likely to win the tournament ☺

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Does that mean that Wales are officially BRITISH now? Same as Andy Murray is when he reaches the quarter finals of a Grand Slam?

He is obviously SCOTTISH at the moment, because he has failed to embarrass himself with an unexpected defeat in an early round.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Pathetic from the Welsh squad, especially as we beat them less than 2 weeks ago. Rein it in you idiots. Thank God there's no UK football team.

There was Great Britain team at the olympics , dont you remember the welsh team members refusing to sing GSTQ ? I'd have binned them from the squad for that.
