I remember years ago, Kenny Macaskill said that it will be a sign of the growing maturity and confidence of Scotland when we could wish England well at sport - he got pilloried for it from all sides.
Now it seems to have gone full circle and everyone wants to see England do well.
Personally, I don't hate the England team, but I will have a good laugh if they go out and I don't want them to win. That's fitba and national rivalry for you.

Not a single club outwith these two has won the league championship in over 3 decades.
Imagine Man U winning 9 league championships on the trot?
It's understandable that they view Scottish football as a "duopoly" with no serious competition beyond these stone-age rivals.
Why focus on wanting the England national team to lose? Why not every nation that similarly looks down at Scottish football? The Germans? The Argentineans? The Dutch? The Spanish? The French?
The reasons lie beyond mere football and have been touched upon in this thread.

I have huge respect for Gareth Southgate and enjoying their young hard grafting team.
I’ll be watching it tonight with two English mates and cheering on England.

Oh the media are going way over the top which although it's predictable still puts me off the team. Come on Croatia!

[Edit]
Here's the original post.
My country is built on hatred of another nation?
That's a question, not a statement.
Really no need to be offensive now, is there?Last edited by Chic Murray; 11-07-2018 at 12:13 PM.

Edit: and judge large groups of people based on their own personal prejudices. Some might call it rivalry, but they'd be in a minority, IMHO.

Poor Chic, taking every reply to him as a personal attack. Must be a tough life being that fragile.

Ach...I dont see a problem with people wanting England to lose. When it comes to sport, every small country in the world has a sizeable chip on the shoulder against the larger neighbours. Portugal/ Spain, NZ/ Australia etc
I dont want them to win, but really dont have much vitriol for them. Gareth Southgate is quote a likeable chap- humble, understated, bookish - everything you DONT associate with the England football team.
I think a lot of the anti-english nonsense is driven by jealousy. It's been 20 years since we were anywhere near a world cup and if it were Scotland making the latter stages, we'd well and truly be lapping it up and enjoying the ride. Mind when Scotland played Brazil on the first day of France 98? It was like Christmas day !!!
So fair play to them. I hope they have a good time but dont win the world cup.
Cheers

Sorry, just a bit of hetero banter there, old mucker. I thought that's what you were after when you called me fragile.
I reckon this is where we get off.

People follow the Scotland national team because they are Scottish, theres no need to over complicate it. I've never wore a kilt, I've never wore a hat with a feather in it, been to some great places following my nation though.

If Hearts are contesting a Semi Final, do I want them to lose? Yes
Do I want England to lose tonight's Semi Final? Yes.
Does that make me a bitter and twisted football fan? Probably
Finally, do I give a jot if that annoys anybody? I think you can guess the answer to that one

A question for you. Why do you and your fellow England fans care who any non-English person supports?
If it was roles revered I wouldn't care less if anyone outside of Scotland wasn't supporting us or actively wanting us to lose.
