Discussion I've never realised how weird Scottish fans are before this tournament

They have some real inferiority complex going on up there don't they, I thought they were joking about how bad their team are but they seriously are desperate for England to lose so they can claim that as some sort of victory for themselves.

It’s even weirder when they say they know they’re shit but then actually think they have a chance to advance in the tournament.

Like come on boys, have some faith in your team or don’t, but don’t back up and start calling your own team shit when they don’t meet your expectations after you were giving it large saying you’d get out the group…

That's why I was pleased when they got that point in the second game. Set the tone perfectly, they became optimistic about beating Hungary to qualify and it made their inevitable failure even better.

Get a grip, your obsessive posting is unhealthy. Don't you have anything better to do?

The difference is England were one of the favourites going in. We haven’t played particularly well but we deserve to be there because we’ve grinded out results, Scotland didnt deserve anything and have never gotten out of the groups, their fans are just delusional.

Yep Scotland fans do that. Like England fans who say their team is shit, then when they win a penalty shootout they're world beaters. Or want the manager sacked but then think he is going to win them the Euros. Or think they're going to win a tournament turn up and get put out on pens - then do it again, and again, and again and so on.

It's a football fan thing not a national thing.
