In my experience I would say the casual football fans support England and the hardcore fans do not.

In general that is. It's not a hard fast rule or anything.

I think many would like them to win but its not going to be devastating for most of them if they don't.

I'll never understand an English person wanting England to lose. Proper wrong 'uns in my book.
I get why the rest of the world don't like us but that's a historical price we have to pay and quite honestly I'm not arsed what they think..

I don't think the rest of the world hate England (note England, not the UK) because of historical stuff. And I don't even think most the world hates England anyway!

I think nationalism is weird personally. Nobody chooses where they were born. But why must they support the team of the nation they were born in? The same players who they hate week in and week out normally. Should they want Liverpool to win because they were born in Liverpool too? Should they support absolutely everything to do with England in general? Nothing wrong if they do that of course but why should they?

As I say - I'm a proud Englishman and will always support my country over anyone else.
I do sometimes wish I had a choice with Everton - but family roots and history mean me and my children will also have to follow us.
I think there has to be a connection to a team. Doesn't have to be geographical - but I'd imagine this is the primary reason people support who they do.
 
I understand scousers being aggrieved at their treatment from the English govt and crown. It takes strong conviction to stand against the grain and for what you believe is right and just.

Scousers do this well I find. They don’t tolerate bullies or the nasty, they shall never lick boot.

Thats my balanced appraisal. Each to their own.

Scousers aren't alone in this. The majority of the population have been treated appallingly by whoever runs us. I sometimes wish we all had a bit more of a revolutionary spirit.
