aye hench, guilty as charged. Half swiss too though.
It's not about "anyone but" that is pretty much joc(k)ular, with me in any case.
But be honest, they've not convinced throughout the tournament. The belief that they could win was over optimistic at best. The press have a lot to answer for in that instead of adopting a "let's enjoy ourselves" attitude it has been "we can relive the glory of '66 but beat Gerry on his own turf like we did in '45" and similar. The commentary has been woefully biased and even in games where England haven't been playing they continually have had to draw obtuse reference to Engerlund
and how they would wipe the pitch clean. Were it not for the press and certain politicians trying to incite Scots to support England I'm sure many Scots would. After all most Scots football fans follow the premiership as opposed to the Scottish leagues.End of the day it's just a game and taking it so seriously is why "our" schadenfreude is so great.
Scotland will never qualify for the world cup ever again anyway so that argument is moot ;)
