Speaking as a Northern Irish person who supports England and who lived
in Scotland for a while - the Scots won't support England, they have
even supported the Germans, during various England vs. Germany[1]
games of recent years. The laughed when fat boy Maradonna scored the
hand of god goal. In general they seem to have some chip on their
shoulder about ``those english bastards who rule our land''. And for
some of them it isn't a bit of friendly rivalry, they really do hate
you.

gubbing of Germany.
