Without being stereotypically parrochial I'm backing the French purely because from the two teams on show tonight, they would grace the final as opposed to the stop/start spoilers and kickers in the iffy red and white strip!

Add to the fact that a few of the players there are from the rugby team I support sort of pushes me into it as well.

Fair play.
The French look helluva nervous. A very mediocre English team may well be in the driving seat here. Although, given the nature of the opening try, how the commentator has the front to say the French are lucky is a tad silly!

OK, FAO the jingoistic Nationalist clowns wherever they are who are at this moment desperately trying to learn the Argentine or South African anthems ahead of next week and who probably have only become remotely interested in rugby because of the World Cup, Just stop for a moment, forget all about Mel Gibson and those blue-faced kilted warriors fighting that horrible English army, and think. This is 2007, in this day and age, Scotland and England are friends. Hundreds and thousands of Scots have English relatives and friends and also live and work there. I for one will be backing England to do it again next week, as not only are they our best mates, but it's also good knowing that we have the world champions in our annual Six Nations.
C'mon England!

Still doesn't stop me cheering against 'The Auld Enemy'
At the end of the day, it's only a game and it would be boring without the cheery banter!

Cheering or booing England: both are out of some misguided kind of sense of duty. Personally, I would rather watch the final knowing that there are two countries playing in it who deserve to be there and the best one will win on the day.
I'm just sad that my country isn't in the final. I don't see any reason why I should pick one out of the two who are and I see no reason why deciding not to support either of them should be interpreted as "I hate South Africa" or "I hate England".
I'll be enjoying the game as a neutral, but as a sports fan. It's going to be an absolutely cracking match, though.

i agree with that there is nothing wrong with a friendly banter, but i think a lot of people take their "hatred" for the english too far

After the event and no time for either team or its following but would be England on a marginally less disliked basis, given what the French rugby union did to rugby league in France during the second world war and their subsequent lack of atonement.
Although, if I was English I would probably be wanting England to lose.

oh do grow up children, oh btw didn't you hear, Alex Salmond was supporting England last night, amazing considering you vote for his party on the basis of some jingoistic hatred. I applaud the English on a brave effort last night and hopefully Lewis Hamilton delivers today.

new zealenders want australia to lose at rugby
india want pakistan to lose at cricket
many more examples of sporting rivals wanting another nation to get humped regularly, do all these nations need to grow up as well or just us 'cos we dare challenge the arrogance of england?

If Lewis Hamilton won the F1 that wouldn't bother me, he ain't representing England, he'd be winning it for himself.
IMO in these cases, for Scotland/England, see Hibs/Hearts. They are sporting rivals and in sport, most people (not all) like to see their local rivals fail.
As a Hibs fan, do you like to see Hearts doing well? If Hibs are knocked out of a competition or cannot win it, would you prefer Hearts to win it instead? Do you support them, or have a wee giggle if they get humped?
