But I'm not sure how they can do that. They're obviously going to be broadcasting in a positive light towards England, just like any other country's broadcasters. They're a home nation.

In the same way they would be broadcasting in a positive light towards Wales or Scotland if they had made it to the finals.

I just can't get my head round the media being used as a reason to dislike a completely separate group of individuals. Especially when that group of individuals themselves probably dislike the media just as much. It's ultimately nonsensical, as far as I can see.

I hate that too, and I'm English. We should have our own anthem so that the other countries in the UK can take more pride in our shared anthem (even though it isn't very good!).

PS: Sorry for gate-crashing the party, but I just wanted to make that point.

The Germans, are by definition, are more Anglo-Saxon than the Scots.
