O/T Proud to be British

[Ironside]

and england is the current holders of ?

oh i forgot the rugby

but what else?

[The Baron]

austraila, new zealand canada (ok lets call it the commenwealth)
large portions of the USA but hey thats mutial hate a USA v england game as i have to support the ref

most of western europe

so we are left with china (your right there is a billion of them) but then again there government tell them who they support and eastern europe but they havenet had long of freedom to know the score yet

The US? They're our best buddies. Even in the sport we compete in the most (athletics) they respect us. I spoke to two huge US soccer fans this summer they love watching our league and support our teams in the Champions League.

Canada? I have family there. They're indifferent. To be honest most of them don't even know about our sports and they're the ones with family here.

Hmmm.... Western Europe hey?


The Portugese dont care whether we win or not unless they're playing us, they're very internal. All the people I know there could not only name our national team but also told me why each player was great to watch. No hate there I'm afraid.

The French want the rest of Western europe to lose, especially the Germans, not just us.

The Spanish DO care about having the best league in the world but in terms of our national team they're not bothered (unless we bring our black players to their shores). Beckham and Woodgate are well supported there. Owen was too. Benitez says everyone in Spain supports Liverpool as there second team because of the huge Spanish contingent. So do Spain want us to lose? Erm... I doubt it.

The Italians dislike every other nation when it comes to football!

Anyone else?

A lot of African people support England as their second team. (Many also support France)

Brazil and England have a huge mutual respect for each other.

Yeah the Aussies hate us - I'll give you that one.

oh i forgot the rugby

How could you forget? They mention it on the telly at least once a week?

[Ironside]

i forgot due to the fact they are no longer event the 2nd best team in europe never mind the world

[Nem]

Also, at least were are hated by some countries. Most countries in the world either take pity on poor ole soctland or just laugh at them.

The fact that you have never won anything in the first place may affect your sunny outlook

Scotland top elephant polo world
 
Scotland's elephant polo team have won their second world championship in a row after beating the National Parks of Nepal team 7-6.
The tournament, now in its 24th year, saw eight teams and players from 11 countries taking part in Nepal.

Player manager Peter Prentice, who scored 25 goals in the tournament, was the Scots' star player.

Captain, the Duke of Argyll, said: "To win this is a mammoth task, made more special by the amazing surroundings."
 
So there.

[Ironside]

mentioned but not repeatedly every 5 minutes

[thetank]

So this debate is about why Scotland don't like England but England don't mind Scotland

 (Individually you can still be groovy though)

 your shite team will never get anywhere near as agood as mighty England

England have a lot of things that they could and should be proud of,

Hadrian never built it tall enough.............

I think somewhere down the line the opposite has been proved.

We should read the title of this thread and think about what that means.

Nighty night.
