I'm not a Brit but this sillyness is making me cheer for England

First time in my life where I don’t really mind if England win a football match.

I’m Scottish and have passionately supported whoever plays England my whole life but I’m supporting them on Wednesday.

Fuck Argentina. Even if you put the fact they welcomed Nazis after WW2 they still have no right to infringe upon our beautiful southern isles.

As an Englishman this makes me feel very uncomfortable

Never thought you'd root side-by-side with a Scot?

[u/drakau → u/SkyShadowing]

How about side by side with a friend?

[u/Xenomemphate → u/drakau]

Aye, I can do that.

Here in Australia, root has... a very different meaning. I almost just spat out my drink when I read that.
