And as for us Scottish fans..............! The Scotland football (soccer) team recently lost 3-2 to Spain , managing at one point to draw level from being 2-0 down. There is no doubt who the better side was - Spain are World & European champions while Scotland haven't even qualified for a major tournament for many years. Yet the enjoyment in the game was partly pleasure at cheering on the underdog and also watching a hugly skilful team playing beautiful football. Even though somewhat nationalistic , the scottish fans were very sporting & applauded both teams off the pitch and also the good skill of particular Spanish players. That is the essence of sport.
I agree with Bluesbrother - the GB either just don't "get" sport or just want to make a frivilous point. Isn't there a GB member (Losch?) who is famous for hating American Football - I wonder if he is behind some of these comments.
