Working in Engerlund they put up Portugal flags in the office yesterday. They're argument - if it was england everyone in wales would be supporting portugal. This is of course true.
But as I explain to my english friends, its not the english that the scots or welsh or irish hate its the english media. We all want england to lose because we get sick of the england-centred media attention.
We also find it a bit funny, especially this time around, that English sports teams don't seem to have that extra bit of buzz. Maybe its a celtic atttibute but we don't mind losing 20-0 as long as pride is shown. Didn't see much from England.
It happened again this time. More column inches dedicated to where england went wrong as opposed to Wales and N Irelands continued progress in the tournament.
