However when I grew up I struggled to comprehend the anti English sentiment of the support, my father and his brothers demonstrated none of that .That said when I landed in England from a Forces upbringing abroad I had a hell of a time for supporting Scotland from school mates..actually got in a few scraps.

Nowadays I just want all of the home countries to do well.
