I think they took the survey among people on the whole ambivelent about football. A poll of scottish FOOTBALL fans would be somewhat different.

Anyway i dont understand the fuss about it. Most countries in the world wouldnt support their neighbours and historical rivals in the world cup. Do Brazillians support Argentina ? Do the Dutch support Germany ? No.The only reason it doesent cut both ways is that england have bigger fish to fry in general - bit like derbies between teams seperated by a few divisions - the rivalry is always more intense for the less successfull team.

I hope they get pumped

i can see 1 flaw in your posting

brazil, argintina, germany etc etc etc all make it into the world cup so they don't feel the need to call on neighbouring countries

as for england, (who think they are the whole uk) think that they are that important that EVERYONE should support them

i'll be supporting togo

**Dr Shrink** · 31-03-06, 10:05

I’m sure it’s entirely accurate and the majority of football fans are only too willing to lend support to neighbouring teams.

I for one look forward to supporting Ingerlund, and I can hardly wait for the first mention of 1966.
In fact, if the Gunts manage to get past the Cabbage I think it would be a splendid idea for Bounce Tours to organise a few buses for the final where we can get behind Rudi and the boys.

Aye but even if one of those teams didnt qualify, i cant imagine them supporting their rivals instead. I doubt Norway will be supporting Sweden for example.

I suppose it comes down to whether you feel any sense of britishness and therefore feel obliged to support one of the "Home Nations". I really cant say i know any football fan in Scotland who feels this way bar a few huns.

I will be supporting Mexico

i'll tell you about a sense of britishness

quote bbc sport, england have racked up an amazing amount of medals (commonwealth games) and the other home nations have had a good number of wins too...

i was furious when i heard that, it is like WE ARE ENGLAND the rest of you come second to us in the uk,
and it pisses me off

**Steve20** · 31-03-06, 10:14

Ill be supporting Brazil. Mainly because I will have money on them.

But here goes, I dont actually mind England winning matches.

**Swoosh** · 31-03-06, 10:23

Saw this on GMTV this morning.
Not a chance ill be supporting England. Hope the go out nice n early!
Ill be celebrating as soon as they get kicked out!

GMTV reported that most of the older generation will be supporting England.
They also had some Scottish twat from aberdeen or something saying he would support england. He looked like a rite retard tho

englands major problem, they are still holding on to 66 and that is why no-one wants to support them, if they shut up about it then people may (altho probably not) support them

Which...as usual is why ENGLAND EXPECTS etc.

The media will have the whole nation whipped up into their usual frenzy & ultimate humilitaion (I hope) when they get their inevitable gubbing

I for one will be hoping that they're on the plane early. My prediction or the first mention of 1966 or 5-1 will be roughly 4 seconds into the first game

man your giving them too long, 4 seconds into the first program before the first match

i can hear the line "hello and welcome to the world cup program for england versus whoever, mayby this year will be englands your, will we have a repeat of 66" and then that will be the world cup over for me till england are out

**alnewhaven** · 31-03-06, 12:15

Bound to be even more OTT this year, with it being 40 years since 66 and it being held in Germany. Never mind, by the end they will be reduced to grabbing any tenous connection ( remember the 98 final, Brazil v France ...Motty gets excited about the linesman being English ?

your bound to have the chance to watch 'a repeat of 66'.....they showed the whole match again in 86 .......just in case anybody had missed the chance to see it in the intervening years

snedhib87 · 31-03-06, 12:19

Bollocks, no way would a support England!!
They wouldnt stop talking bout it...still yap on bout 1966!!!

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO TO WIN IT!!!!!!

Smurf · 31-03-06, 12:33

I would be suprised if they percentages were accurate if it was actual 'English' folks they asked..

**Bartok** · 31-03-06, 12:57

I used to support whoever the English were playing but not any more. I have come to form the view that it is symptomatic of political immaturity. It is understandable, since the Scots have very few opportunities to express their national identity these days, with our own football and national side incapable of qualification for major tournaments. So even sad outbreaks of schadenfreude like this are seized upon. But it is a bit sad really.

Still can't bring myself to support them either, mind you

76% of Northern Irish people is even more surprising to me than 67% of Scots tbh...

It's utter pish. Would really like to see the actual question asked, cause I suspect it was "would you rather have your genitals removed, or England to win the World Cup" for it to come up with that result...

doontheslope70 · 31-03-06, 13:06

If Ingerland were playing football against Aphganistan I would want Osama Bin Laden to score a hatrick!!!!

**madkink** · 31-03-06, 13:15

the figures they are using is from the first question asked
"would you support england in the would cup"

the second question which distroyed these figures that they don't mention
"who would you rather won, england or brazil"

and those figures distroyed anything said in the top question
