And yes, I know you are not all the same, but the majority of the ones I have met are like that.
One of the best times I had following England was at Hampden Park, watching Scholes bag a brace!!

Bilbo,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but cheering for the opposition when England is playing ain't a Scottish phenomenon by any stretch of the imagination.

The problem others see is that the English seem to think that they have some God-given right to success when the reality is, excepting the World Cup where you played all your games at Wembley, the English team has achieved the same amount of success as Scotland, Wales, Spain, The Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein and the USA in major football championships ............... absolutely zero.
