I have learnt something over the last few weeks especially on here, we (Wales) have always been critical of the English sports nation, when England went out I think the whole of Wales celebrated (including me) But we were wrong to do this, and to be frank I was more than a little ashamed of the reaction of the Welsh Team, I did feel sorry for the England team as they did not get it together (Wales have been in this position to many times in the past), More sorry for the supporters though, as I know the English team have the ability to win all the major tournaments,
but what gets up the nose of a lot of other nations and countries is the way that the commentators blow England's trumpet continually without reservation, they win the game before it has even started, I hate the English commentators and the after match discussions, i.e. when England lost against Iceland a comment was made that the English Team were not on form because they were exhausted after having a punishing time in the league games, What a load of Tosh and dribble and excuses they all need to eat a bit of humble pie and stop with the rubbish they spout. This goes for other sports as well, whenever a home team or individual whoever they are (excluding England) do well in a major they become a British Team or a British Achievement , Not Welsh not Scottish but British, If they do Poorly they always revert to becoming Welsh or Scottish, you never never hear them refer to the England team as British.
Looking forward to the World Cup qualifiers now Come On The Home Teams....(I will still be shouting for England to lose in the 6 Nations though)
