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. Quote

Just so you know, Roger, many Scottish fans are rooting for Mexico against England today. 🤣 There's a bit of a rivalry there. Quote

HossC Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM 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". Hobie Hartkins, Skipper Duke, Meadowmufn and 1 other 1 3 Quote

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... 🤷♀️ RogerDuke 1 Quote

And once more we let down the Scots. Another great result for England last night as they sent home Erling Haaland's Norway with a goal in extra time. Now England face reining champions and FIFA's favorite side Argentina in the semi-finals. At least that match is on at a more reasonable 8pm. I was up until 1am last night and I'm very tired this morning. BTW. When I googled Erling Haaland's name to check the spelling, a load of Vikings danced across my screen. I don't know if this Easter egg works in other countries. Quote
