Should Scottish people support the English during the world cup?

I'm Scottish and I WILL be supporting England during the World Cup.   I know a lot of people who will not be supporting them but my attitude is that we are one very small island in a great big world and we should be united together rather than bicker amongst ourselves.\n\nCome on ENGERLAND !!

The fault lies squarely at the door of the media.\nThe xenophobia they display is sickening.\nJohnny Foreigner - how dare he beat England!\nThe stupid English fans (and most of them are of under-average intelligence) believe this rubbish and get hurt when they don't win.\nBeing unable to express themselves in any other way, they turn to hatred of other countries.\nIt is not a majority of fans, it is most of them.\nwhen England played Trinidad and Tobago in the World Cup, most of them were facing in the opposite direction from the pitch to shout racist abuse at the T&T fans.\nOnly when England finally scored (through a foul by Crouch) did they take an interest in the game.\nOther country's fans go to competitions in a party mood.\nEngland prepare for a war.\nEngland fans are predominantly scum and when the team exits competitions, every other country is relieved.\nThe 'world beating' players of England are then pilloried in the press and the fans look for scapegoats, usually finding a foreigner whose fault it was, courtesy of The Sun.\nThis year the England fans were labelled 'the best fans in the World'.\nBy whom?\nThe English!\nBut as soon as the process ends, it begins anew.\nThe idiots here saying England will win the World Cup in four years are already fooled into a false premise - that which states England have a divine right to win everything.\nThere is nothing wrong with getting behind your team and looking to games with hope.\nA seething hatred for the opposition is something else.\nEngland generally scrape through qualifying stages of World Cups and the fans learn nothing from this.\nThey still think they are world-beaters because The Sun told them so.\nIt would be amusing if it wasn't so pathetic.\nIt was also predictable that you would be accused of being Scottish.\nI might be and I can say for Scotland's size, we do well for a country our size.\nThere have been enough competitions in my lifetime Scotland has qualified for when England stayed at home but the people on here know nothing beyond yesterday's Sun.\nBut that's them looking for a foreigner to blame again.\nBut you know, it's all going to repeat itself and the idiot fans will be here in four years blaming some Argentinian/German/Swede or whoever and the likes of us can come here and point out the errors of their ways.\nIt is rather good sport, if a little easy, to catch little englanders on a baited hook.

I think England are guaranteed to play either Ecuador or Germany in the next round. If Germany win their group and England are runners-up then maybe it is fair that England should play such tough opponents in the next round. However, if England win their group and Germany finish runners-up, I (as an England fan) would fell upset that, despite winning our group, we  get a hard 2nd round match.\n\nIf England do play Germany in the next round, then my fellow English people shouldn't whinge about it (despite whinging being seen as a very English (thus patriotic) think to do), because it is just about impossible for anyone to win the World Cup without, somewhere along the line, facing tough opponents.

get rid of the SPL split and merge the league cups into a British cup. Also maybe in terms of the national team they need to introduce a limit to the foreigners fielded in order to push through local talent. (In saying that, there were quite a few Scottish players fielded by Rangers in the last 'old firm' game)

The English don't have a lot to be patriotic about, on the other hand the Scottish,Welsh.and the Irish do!\nSt Georges flag has now become a symbol of the BNP (political fascist group ) and lots of England football fans are very sympathetic to this group of racists .

They are professional and let us see how it goes. \n\nI believe they can do it.  To win is very important in a competition as a result, but I think there's more important thing when people do their best on every stage. \n\nWhen you really love your supporting team, we should not bother other supporting team to encourage our loving team. We should respect each other as one of good supporters for our loving team!   \n\nThe world cup is beautiful,  we admire one of the greatest beautiful sports, soccer and we thank to all of players selected from all of the countries in the world being on this stage.\n\nIf any, you may express your opinion on line (thx to yahoo lol) or ask your friends about it for your supporting team, but you can believe our loving team and their coarch and all of the members of the team. \n\nThank you for your time to read my opinion.

Boycott World Cup Sponsors, your missing the point. WE are the ones sick of that 'one win 40 years ago', and the number 1966. I hear it about 4 times a week on tv even when the world cup isn't on!! \nThats why Scotland is so fed up with you. Its YOU that are living in the past, really. Every single world cup since then its the same question in the media - Can we repeat that feat of 66??? And then all the hype for nothing. And if by some miracle it IS this year, we shall surely never hear the end of it. Thats why we dont want you to win. Its quite simple actually - its nothing personal, but we just dont want to hear about it for the next 40 years.

Why don't you rouse a few players up and get a decent Scottish team together then, instead of consistently posting anti-English questions?\n\nI like Scottish people, and have lots of Scottish friends, and you just need to get a life and a decent hobby.

The problem with Team GB as you suggest is that players from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland wouldn't get into the team! It would be made up solely of English players therefore there is no point lad.\n\nBirds are genetically designed to be un interested in football. If you were then us blokes would never get any peace.\n\nOf course you girlies always complain when Coronation Street or Eastenders is taken off for footie. The world cup is every 4 years. That crap is on every bloody night. Lets have some perspective on it.

I think people have misunderstood your question, realitly check you dont have to be scottish to play for a scottish team. not sure how many but it is a shame they didnt qualify.

to right why should we support England.i wouldn't want them to win anything cause we never here the end of it they go on and on about 66 .you cant even watch a game that doesn't involve them cause their bias commentators still talk about them and ruin it personally i don't care who wins this world cup as long as its not England

In short... they are insanely jealous of our footballing skills. Their team is poo and ours is not.  It's all nonsense and banter. Say for example the swedish were invading our shores what would the Scottish do?... They'd get their act together and come and batter anyone trying to invade England... They love us really & most of us these days have a relation from one of our neighbouring nations.. \n\nIts all crap and to be honest, you should hold your head up and high fly your St George Cross with pride. Make them even more envious.. muhahahaha

My favourite Scottish side was the one that defeated England 1-0 via a John Robertson penalty at Wembley in 1981.\n\nHad the World Cup been held in 1981, Scotland would have made it very far. By the time 1982 came, the team was in the first stages of decline although they did again qualify in 1986, but was no longer a threat.\n\nPerhaps the 1978 team, among the favourites in Argentina was their strongest ever, but I was too young to remember. That team defeated Holland 3-2 in probably Scotland's finest game but the damage had been done in the earlier group games.

I quite fancy England to win it this year although it'll be tight I think. Underdogs. Well it'll have to be Scotland since i'm scottish.
