Supporting the other Home Nations in sport

[nickbrighton]

Isnt it a shame that the English defeat was celebrated so enthusiastically by the Welsh team., I know there are exceptions, but the vast majority of English people genuinley want to see the other Home Nations do well (excepting when playing England of course) and there were lots of great messages from English fans on the Irish and Welsh successes. It doesnt seem to be reciprocated and there is a lot of the Anyone But England mentality.There will always be good humoured joshing and one upmanship (I paricularly liked the flood warnings in force in the border regions as the scottish and welsh are pissing themselves so much) but surley we should all wish each other well.
I for one really hope the Welsh continue to do well in the competition, even though they now have bragging rights for at least the next 2 years.
So Good Luck to the Wales team against Belgium , I hope the Welsh supporters have a great time cheering thier team on, and hope any English Supporters still in France lend there voices to the Welsh support

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

That used to be the case, It isn't anymore. WTF is wrong with people like you ?? You SAW the way the Welsh team celebrated the Iceland goals , the home nations laugh at people like you with your happy clappy "football family" bollocks.

That's true. It must be very difficult for him working in Belgium and not having work colleagues as friends to go and watch the football with.

well perhaps I should have phrased that the vast majority of people I speak to genuinley want to see the other home nations do well

It would probably be easier to go with Germany from the start far more chance having being behind the winners/.

 

[DavidRyder]

I always like to see the other UK & Rep Ire teams do well. That said, my team of choice from the last 8 will be Iceland. A team that seemed devoid of any player that I could have a reason to dislike. The fans seem pretty good too - and that slow clap/chant thing that sounds like a train - that was summat else!

that was my point, the way they celebrated, if people laugh at me and my happy clappy bollocks so be it. i actually dont think there is anything wrong with me, i would much prefer it to be England in the quarter finals than Wales, but I certainly am not going to be celebrating in the way the Wesh Players were when they eventually lose.

As my Scotch mate would say "Get tae fock".

For 90 minutes I wish nothing but abject humiliation to Wales & Scotland.

[Driver8]

I've lived in Wales for over 14 years so naturally want them to do well. Scotland however can do one.

Chips on shoulders. C'est la vie.

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.

 

[gregbrighton]

I hope Wales beat Belgium. I think they can. They can show England how it is supposed to be done.
