& since when has Joe Hart been such an ardent follower & fan of 🏴 footy ?! Joining in with all the Scots loving is so 🤢 cringe, especially as when he starts speaking they have the title of how many tournaments he represented 🏴 for displayed on screen!! His spell at Celtic has made him a proper Scottish lover! Even wore a green top on his first TV appearance which I'm sure wasn't a coincidence! He was great to be fair. Spoke well

And a fair few Rangers support England Scotland fans are mostly fans of other clubs Probably why they are happy and having a good time. Not weighed down by sectarian shite. You beat me to it. The more Rangers fans that stay indoors the better..........

After England won World Cup in 66 the following season's British Home Championship saw Scotland beat England 3-2 and immediately pronounce themselves World Champions.

Ivory Coast are currently the World Champs I believe. They beat Uruguay in March who were the first team to beat Argentina since their World Cup triumph.

Blokes in skirts with no pants is very offensive to me! It’s the Devils in Skirts that won the campaign against the fuzziwuzzis. Once they knew they wore underpants they rebelled. Basic history. Then they showed them their cocks and fled. I saw it on Carry on up the Kyber. You missed off the word FACT! You can’t beat a Carry On reference to consolidate an argument.

I wish we had an anthem as good as the flower of scotland sounds great when they rip it out. It’s just a sentimental folk song penned in the 1960s. Lyrics focus on the victory at Bannockburn (in 1314 FFS!). A real anthem is the Welsh one, which is more stirring than that load of tosh.

Both are real and pretty good The Scottish one is too high for a lot of men to sing so it sounds like a struggle. There are some crackers - French, Welsh, Russian and American are all good. Ours is a dirge. Billy Connolly was right about using The Archers theme.

Our, as england fans reputation is tarnished it’ll take a long time to correct that, the grumbling of other fans being respected and enjoying the moment is a sign we hopefully in transition.

Would rather watch a flawed Scotland play than frequent failed favourites England. The Scots were not good but at least tried to make up the quality gap with honest hard graft and passion. England have the better players but the performance reflects the dirge of the national anthem and the boring beige of Southgate. It's more enaging to have the imperfection, frequent heartbreak with very occosional ecstacy, a bit like being a Stoke fan, frequent failure and dealing with it rather than the sense of entitlement. And although the bagpipes make a racket, that is more moving and impressive than the yawping from England yobs

Fun fact, there has been more Scottish fans arrested than England fans so far this tournament.
I actually think that if England fans dropped all the jingoistic bullshit it would be very easy to repair their reputation abroad, anyone who has followed England abroad will know that 80% are just your average fan, up for a laugh but respectful of the area they're visiting and absolutely sound........

Think you've taken over us with the 8 from yesterday but the numbers are still pretty tiny given how pished everyone is, number of folk and England being in Germany being honest. Watched a program on the Tartan Army a few years back and basically it was born after smashing Wembley up in the late 70s so created the travel club. From there, it was an easy way to point score against England smashing up places to instead simply not act like bawbags. From what I've seen online if England are mixing with Scottish, German, Serbian, fans etc and furniture re-arrangement is being kept to a minimum then it is defo a step in the right direction. Patience is key though but what would go massively in your favour is if the place doesn't get smashed to bits when you get knocked out. Same applies for Scotland as only takes a few bellends to ruin everything but one thing the old guard do is police the younger ones. There's videos of the fan march v the Swiss where they reckon there was 30k and the handful of riot police at the front had their helmets off dishing out high fives - everyone behind them is absolutely leathered but there's that level of trust. Love it I do.

Also in fairness to England the fans bear the brunt of some really shitty policing as I've witnessed first hand on a few occasions, but it's chicken and egg I suppose they would argue don't act like dicks and we'll treat you better. There's a big difference between young lads who can handle themselves following their country with the aim of going and having a great time and a sing song, and those absolute bell ends who travel to goad locals, throw chairs and smash the windows of local shops and thankfully the percentage of England fans doing that these days is tiny. I've seen plenty of videos of England, Scotland Germany, Albania, Serbia fans having a great time together without the football banter spilling over which is great to see........

I remember before England V Ireland 88 in Stuttgart think it was , a fella was offering folk the equivalent of £50 and 2 tickets if they'd throw a chair through a window for a photo. He promised not to show their faces. Asked us and I noticed he was going from table to table when we said no. Seemed to be targeting younger lads who he thought perhaps had little cash or no tickets.
Guess what was on front of the NOTW that Sunday?

The Dutch just like to sit and shake their heads I guess each country has their own thing
