I knew that would be the comeback, and I appreciate the ensuing piley-on, but there's never been a tournament i haven't wanted england to win so the answer has to be yes. I have no problem putting individuals to one side but rather support the badge they represent.

I'm English. If all the above also are, then that's that, out of my control. Did I love our representation in 1986 more than any other? Deffo yes, but life doesn't always pan out like that. It doesn't mean I'm screaming "go ed stevie!" at the telly, but i want them to do well for england, definitely. There's not a nations fanbase that doesn't have this exact same 'dilemma' with rival players at club level, and they seem to manage it just fine.
