I can't understand the motivation to post negative comments when a team I don't support does well.

If Wales were in a final against another country I wouldn't watch it and certainly wouldn't make sour remarks on here.

The Wales team, and every other country's apart from England's, is an irrelevance to me as an Englishman.
Exactly. Not supporting another country's team is not the same as not liking that other country.

I am not overly interested in whether NI, Scotland or England do well in sport because I support my national team. There is not a pecking order of which teams I support when Wales are inevitably knocked out. If my team is out I am just interested in watching a good match, as it was last night.

In football no-one would expect Spurs supporters to feel happy when Chelsea or Arsenal do better than them, or Wolves supporters to support Aston Villa when they go further in the FA Cup than them, and why should this be any different in international sport? Other teams, especially neighbours, are rivals and not your friends.

I will watch Sunday's match expecting a very good game but not investing any emotion in the result. I now believe that England have such a good team spirit and self-belief, plus a fair amount of skill and pace, that their attacking game will wear Italy down. The team has no major weaknesses and Southgate has turned into a really good manager.

Is it allowed when a team we DO support DOESN'T do well?
As I have done - in the case of Denmark, Ukraine, Germany......... :okay:
Why don't you just say it like it is instead of talking b******s?

You no moor support these Countries than I do, I love a good wind up myself but this is just dull and just a little bit sad.
 
I guess if you're worried about people merely thinking you might be a racist, you could fly the white dragon instead and remove all doubt.
This little beauty?

I've said it like it is. Quite simply, I am not English and therefore don't feel the need to support them. If that is upsetting you then there is an ignore facility. I suggest you use it.

I don't support Scotland either but I don't come up with some half assed bull about neighbours and supporting every other country that happens to play against them.

It doesn’t upset me it's just fake crap I dislike, have the balls to say what you mean.

Do you really not know what this flag is being used to promote? Do you not see the racist motivation in it?

It is not just a laugh :sad:

"Moves are now under way to once again raise the White Dragon flag, not as the flag of England, but as the flag of the ethnic-English community within England. We need to see our banner flown as a signal to everyone else that although we may well have been forgotten about by our beloved leaders we most certainly have not gone away and we are once again finding our voice.

In a world with few certainties this flag tells us who we are and from where we have come. It imparts a sense of permanence and continuity. It is a symbol of our identity, our common history, tradition and of the kinship of all the Anglo-Saxon people. It is also a stark reminder that in multi-cultural England unless we embrace these things then we will surely die.

Look for the sign of the White Dragon and you will find a friend..."

If you are saying that you were completely ignorant about the meaning of the flag then perhaps you should have looked it up following @theclaud's post before making a joke about it.

If you did know what it meant then I am quite comfortable on my high horse.

I know full well the history of the flag and what it symbolises, it's not new to me.

Which part of my comment did you see as a Joke?

She mentioned a Flag she sees as a racist one and I provided her with an example of it.

Just be careful you don't topple off it.😉
