Quote:Being Welsh, and constantly expected by the English media to support England, whether I want to or not (I'd rather not), then I was hoping there would be at least one place I could frequent on a regular basis where the World Cup wasn't being discussed.English people find this attitude quite bizarre. If England were not in the World Cup but Wales was, we'd be supporting Wales. I suppose it is another symptom of the petty nationalism that leads people to burn holiday homes in Wales.
The moment England gets knocked out, that's fine, I'll discuss it then, but otherwise I want nothing to do with this event.
