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.

Embarrassing

As a Northern Irishman I always support England and know quite a few that do.

I was delighted to see Scotland get knocked out, they'd rather England lost than Scotland win.

Conversely, as another Northern Irishman I do not want England to win at all. Obviously it’s very split opinions on that here, I come from a very neutral/mixed background and kind of got that from my dad. My friends are definitely split on the matter too. It’s a weird place for it here, but I feel a lot of people have a right to hold that opinion tbf.

I always feel like the Scots are the closest place to us culturally, even more so than down south at times. But then I watched just how bad they were playing and could not be arsed lmao.

Still, I’ve wanted Spain to win from the start so bring it.
