We follow the English game every week, support English players, and then shout for whoever their opposition is. Alot of English people actually support Ireland and hope we do well whenever we play.
Its like the way we slagged the English over the 'Hand of God'. Why don't they get over it? And then when the same thing happens to us, we kick up a huge fuss. Small mindiness.
Small mindiness.
Why do you keep saying this?
As has been stated, the fans in many countries have the teams they love to see fail. England is no exception.
In fact, to be perfectly honest, I think English fans have more of these teams than most.
They idolise players like Rooney and Gerrard when they play for their club but take pleasure when they get beaten in an England shirt. I can see why some people find it strange.
England got to the semi finals in 1970 and 1990
No.For someone who knows very little about football, you've just given me some very specific facts! I stand corrected - they were actually 2 - 0 up against West Germany in the 1970 quarter final and lost 3 -2.
I'm not suggesting we all go down the Nags Head, wrapped in our union jacks and singing "Three lions on the shirt" ! All I'm saying is as they are our closest neighbour, and the players are the most familiar to us, wouldn't it be nice to see them go as far as possible?
It still amazes me that you can cheer for Wayne Rooney of Steven Gerrard each week, but then hope that they lose when they are playing for their country. Small mindiness
In football terms they are not ( that would be Northern Ireland), in geographical terms they are not that would be Wales. Im from Mayo and i sure a heel dont want my nearest neighbour go far in teh All Ireland!For someone who knows very little about football, you've just given me some very specific facts! I stand corrected - they were actually 2 - 0 up against West Germany in the 1970 quarter final and lost 3 -2.

Why? I know plenty of Engligh people who idolise Rooney and Gerrard in an English shirt but who would abuse them to the rafters when they play for their clubs. It's no different.
