Nothing about Milner in the link, just like there's nothing about Wales in the World Cup. No doubt you'll be wearing an England shirt for the duration.
Hodgson confirms that Rooney will start tonight - http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-F...ainst-Ecuador.aspx?newsid=222AD07B-56CA-4631-
What's so funny? He's a decent, underrated player. He'll put a shift in, and can't be worse than the way Glen is playing at the moment. I have mates who live in Northern Ireland and they support English teams (some Man Utd, some Liverpool). Almost all of them have England tops, and treat England as their second team after NI. At least they're consistent. Puts me in mind of British-born Pakistanis who support England at football and Pakistan at cricket. #annoying
Mate of mine who lives in Neath asked on Facebook if anyone had a second hand England shirt he could borrow/buy. Loads of queries as to why, most expecting the answer to be 'to burn' or something. His answer was 'because the world cup is coming up and I support England' Derision followed, most of it from gargantuan, fat welsh rugby bints. He's the exception, not the rule.
Fair play. I just don't see how you can love a team in another country and then hate said country. Admittedly, I'm a fan of logic, but it confuses me how people can allow such cognitive dissonance.
One team, one country. Even if that country doesnt interest me much. Never understood those with multiple clubs. I like to see tge side local to where i live at any given time do well but i dont support them. Its just normal to want you local area to thrive.
This lad is a Cardiff fan and always has been so he's never supported a team in England. He just happens to be a normal bloke who isn't a (covert) racist ****wit. He's also not arsed about Welsh rugby, which is half the battle as the hatred tends to come from that, not football.
I've lived in Swansea a long time now and do consider myself as a fan. Not in anyway to the extent I am of United, which is engrained, but I do support them in the truest terms by going to matches. There's no conflict of interest, it's United over Swansea every single second of every day, but I really want success for Swansea City. Both for the club and the place.
Couldn't agree more with that. I went to see England v Wales at Wembely years back and the animosity from the Welsh was intense to put it mildly. The dual support thing can be a very complex thing. I was born in England and my mum and dad are Irish. I will support Ireland if it has absolutely no bearing on England. I know people in exactly the same situation as me who will not only cheer for Ireland but also cheer against England. Depends on what you're brought up with I suppose.
England XI v Ecuador: Foster; Milner Smalling Jones Shaw; Lampard Wilshere; Oxlade-Chamberlain Barkley Rooney; Lambert
