Who did you think the Prince and Princess of Wales represented? 
 

I knew that but I thought Wales was the equivalent of Alaska or something....more like a state and not its own country. I also thought the same about Scotland.

Scotland is indeed its own country, but part of the UK. Just so you know, Roger, many Scottish fans are rooting for Mexico against England today. 🤣 There's a bit of a rivalry there.

And we let the Scot's down again by beating Mexico!

Maybe Americans can now start to appreciate a famous quote by Bill Shankly who managed the English soccer team Liverpool from 1959 to 1974:

"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that".

I guess the Scots will need tae get behind Norway as they cannae get behind England. 

I'm about as much English as I am Norwegian, but I am about half Scottish, so... 🤷‍♀️
