Hope he wins. I like him. He's not a ponce.

Tim Henman was a well known ponce.
I dont like him. He has the personality of a goldfish.

Yeah that....I didn't actually have a problem with it. He's Scottish....by their very nature they are supposed to not like England, and certainly not support them in the World Cup. I'd be more shocked if he came out then and said "yeah, go England, beat those Paraguayans", because it's not supposed to happen. Nothing pleased me more than to see Scotland not qualify for the Euros last year.
It's just the old mythos regarding National Identity.
Something so natural and completely artificial.

would an Englishman actively support Scotlands opponents, even to the extent of wearing the other teams shirt? sounds awfully petty to me
that seems somewhat contradictory
I am never disappointed when England qualify and Scotland don't because we suck at sports. It's really quite simple!
I think wearing a shirt is neither here nor there, it's the supporting that is the main act.
are you typically Scottish though, it seems not

What do you mean?
well you cannot argue with facts
it is suggested that a typical Scottish person would take delight in England's failure yet you seem to not care. Do you have English relatives

Oh I do take delight in their failure. I just am not shocked if England qualify when Scotland don't because Scotland do suck at sport. And no all my relatives that I am aware of are Scottish.
