When England was tied by their opponents in the World Cup, their motherland, England, caught fire in its backyard. A Scottish chain store put up a slogan "Anyone can do it, but the British can't!" To express their love and hate. However, this slogan has been forcibly removed on suspicion of racial discrimination.

The English were angry and the Scots laughed.
However, the sufferings of Butscher and all the English people are the source of happiness for Scots. Even Butscher himself admitted that after moving to Glasgow Rangers, he saw more Argentine jerseys in Scotland, and all fans who did not support Rangers would shout "Argentina!" ……
Butscher soon discovered that he was probably the only person in Scotland and even the whole of Scotland who didn't intend to welcome diego maradona and his Argentine national team with open arms-because diego maradona had humiliated his old enemy England in the worst but most perfect way, which made him a national hero in the eyes of Scots, and even the whole Argentine team was warmly received in Glasgow.
Since diego maradona arrived at Glasgow Airport last Sunday, the whole of Scotland has been rejoicing over the arrival of the Argentines. The fans even put up a banner in front of the Argentine hotel, which read "Diego Diego Maradona Chapel", which also made Lao Ma feel very useful. "I am very happy to say hello to all Scottish fans, and I am very grateful for their support." The only signature Ma Lao gave his fans at the airport on the day of his arrival was a poster with the words "Hand of God" printed on it. "I know very well how popular I am in Scotland, and I am very happy to make many people happy. I hope to thank these lovely fans with a football feast. If only we could have fun again. "

Whether Scots should cheer for England has caused a storm in Scottish politics.
When JackMcConnell, Chief Minister of Scotland, was asked in May whether he would cheer for England during the World Cup, he said: "Scotland-my team-is not in the World Cup! This is really disappointing. Some people think that as chief minister, I should support England! But football is not politics, so I quit. I will support different teams for the events I can see. "
When asked which teams, McConnell listed some teams with players playing in the Scottish League! For example, Angola, Trinidad and Tobago-Trinidad and Tobago is the opponent that England will face in the group stage. This remark was immediately criticized as Scotland inciting anti-British sentiment.
According to local newspapers, McConnell privately regarded these criticisms as "rubbish". He talked about football, not politics, and publicly stressed that he did not encourage Scots to fight against England.
Last Thursday, McConnell criticized the comments made by BBC and TV 1 two British television stations on England's participation, calling them "too supportive" and "too biased". I hope they can remember that they represent "all Britain", not just some parts of Britain.
McConnell's remarks really represent the voice of Scots. Gordon Brown, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, has said that two-thirds of Scots will support England, but polls show that two-thirds want England to lose.

Xue Fei: The contradiction between the two nations is very obvious in the football match. For example, in the World Cup qualifiers, all Scots want the English to lose. England also gloated that Scotland might miss the World Cup. We traveled from Scotland to London, and the landlord disdained to tell us that it was another nation. Even in this summer's general election, Scots don't care whether Blair will be elected, but how many seats Scottish political parties can occupy.

If there is anyone on this planet who is particularly looking forward to England losing, it is the Scots.
Let's see what the Scots have done these days. A Scottish "hillbilly" named Ferguson (Spice Girl) tried his best to prevent England's first striker Rooney from going to Germany to participate in the World Cup. After Rooney arrived in Germany, Ferguson still stubbornly cursed England and said that if Rooney was injured again, he would sue Eriksson. Ferguson is just a microcosm of the Scots. Many Scottish fans have been betting wildly recently to vote for the World Cup in England. The Scottish fan organization also specially organizes a large number of fans to go to bars and squares to cheer for the opponents of the World Cup in England.

Former Manchester United star Davoyok has revealed that Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson definitely wants England to lose in the World Cup. York used to be Ferguson's offensive weapon. Today, Trinidad and Tobago, led by York, will face England, the second opponent in the World Cup group stage, in Nuremberg.
After last season, York went back to Manchester United to train and adjust his state, in order to lead Trinidad and Tobago to play well in the World Cup. In the communication with his old club Ferguson, York clearly felt that Ferguson hoped that the Caribbean team led by York would humiliate England.
York said: "Everyone in Scotland, including Ferguson, really wants us to beat England. If we do this, I believe Sir Alex Ferguson will call me the next day. " "We never thought we would meet England in the World Cup. I can't thank Ferguson and his men enough. They made me feel like a Manchester United player again. They made me competitive again in the competition. " "Ferguson told me to enjoy it and enjoy the game. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and my career ended after the World Cup. He fills me with confidence. What you need most in such an occasion is confidence. "
Many Scots support Trinidad. This team has five players playing in the Scottish League. York is currently in Sydney, Australia, and he is very happy to see the Manchester United brothers again. "I gave them my best wishes and they gave me the same."

Although there are many fans in England uniforms in the Scottish capital, people in Paso de Princesa seem to be indifferent to the game. Before the match between England and Trinidad and Tobago, the reporter only heard a drunken couple shouting in a bar near the Scottish Parliament: "Come on Trinidad and Tobago!" "
The anti-British atmosphere before the game did not seem strong, but during the game, Edinburgh fans actually wore Trinidad and Tobago jerseys and sang "England, go home!" " "Any fan standing at the gate of the stadium can hear their songs. England struggled for more than 80 minutes, but Crouch and Gerrard's last-minute goals finally avoided being insulted by the Scots.

On the eve of the war between England and Brazil, the whole Britain hoped that England could defeat Brazil. However, Scotland is an exception. In Scotland, the jerseys of England opponents such as Argentina, Denmark and Brazil have been out of stock; No Scot signed up for the English Cheerleading Team in Japan; Whenever there is an international competition in England, there is only one voice in bars all over Scotland: beat England! In this regard, BBC reporter interviewed O 'Brien, director of the Scottish National Football Museum in Glasgow, the world's first football museum.
Only Scotland can represent Scots.
Q: Why do Scottish fans hate England so much?
A: First of all, outsiders don't know that we Scots and English are different nationalities. In the past three hundred years, the British conquered us. But before that, Scotland has always been an independent country. Secondly, England has a population of more than 50 million, while Scotland has a population of only over 5 million, so Scots have always felt oppressed. Third, the British media has always had a condescending feeling towards Scotland. For example, your BBC, that is, the BBC, should actually be called the BBC in our opinion. When you mention the English team, you always say our team, but in fact, the English team is not our Scottish team and cannot represent us Scots! Only Scotland can represent us Scots.
England stole the honor of the birthplace of modern football.
But isn't Scotland a part of Great Britain?
What you mentioned particularly annoys me. For example, the whole world is saying that Britain is the birthplace of modern football, because the British spread this concept to the whole world. But the fact is that we Scots invented modern football. For example, the most basic feature of the World Cup held by Japan and South Korea is that you have to pass the ball and you have to run. This is our Scottish football. In English football, I stood there and played with the ball, and then waited for the other side to grab the ball. This is most obvious in the world's first international competition of 1872. At that time, our Scottish team kept passing the ball and attacking, while the English team stood there, waiting for the Scottish players to grab the ball. The final result of that game was 1- 1 draw, but it proved that Scotland is the birthplace of modern football. We Scots have always been very angry that the English stole the honor of the birthplace of modern football.
The British media has been demonizing Scottish fans.
Q: But now the English media are saying that the hatred of Scots for English football originated when England won the world championship in 1966, because Scots could not tolerate the English winning the world championship. Is that so?
A: No, Scottish fans hated English football much earlier than 1966. As early as180s, Scotland and England played a game in Blackburn, England, in which both sides had planted the seeds of hatred. At that time, a large number of Scottish fans went south to England to support the Scottish team. However, the focus of British media reports is how strange we Scots look, how rustic our Scottish accent sounds, and how our Scottish fans create terror in British towns. Tell me, isn't this racial discrimination? The English media has always demonized Scottish fans, which can only lead Scots to hate the English national team.
Scots can never support England.
Q: But when Scotland participates in international competitions, the English always support Scotland. Why can't Scots support England in return?
A: We think that the English treat the Scots with a condescending attitude. It's like an Englishman patting a Scotsman on the shoulder and saying, I support you, so you support me. But we Scots don't buy it. We Scots have our own opinions and will not be moved by these false small favors. You know, it is difficult for two neighboring countries to support each other's teams. Is it possible for Holland to support Germany? Is it possible for Canada to support the United States? This will never happen. Therefore, Scots will never support England.
Don't confuse English football with Scottish football.
Q: Why do Scots still insist that they are a country of the United Kingdom, not a region?
A: You know, before the merger of two countries in 1606 and two parliaments in 1607, Scotland was a completely independent country for more than 500 years. Even today, Scotland has its own judicial system, its own education system, its own church and its own currency. We are still a very independent entity. Today, many Scots still think that merging with England is a very bad thing. You are right. Everyone belongs to the United Kingdom. But culturally, we are independent. In football, we are independent of England. What we are most afraid of is that English football is confused with Scottish football. We very much hope that the outside world can understand that Scotland and England are two completely different nationalities in Britain.
Scots will never agree to the merger of Scotland and England.
Q: But haven't the top two Scottish Premier League players, namely Rangers and Celtics, always wanted to join the Premier League? How do you explain this situation?
A: This is entirely due to the commercial considerations of the club, because if these two teams join the Premier League, it will bring them huge commercial benefits. But when it comes to the national team, it's quite another matter. Scots will never agree to the merger of Scotland and England to produce an English team.
