Why don't people have a problem with Welsh , Scottish & Irish waving flags ,don't these people have a hooligan problem ? I think if you look at what happend in N Irlend after the Rangers v Celtic game & in Cardiff after the Leeds game You'll see they do.
I've just asked the 12 people I work with , they all want England to win ,I consider none of them to be mindless thugs.

Calm down mate - now where did I say that anyone who wanted England to win was a mindless thug? I didn't
And I certainly didn't call you racist, that would be ridiculous, so leave that out of it [img]tongue.gif[/img]
About other nationalities waving flags? Yep, not keen on that either.
You go ahead and enjoy yourself, I just find that round where I live the atmosphere gets very tense in a negative way during the World Cup, so I can't gain a lot from it myself. I wouldn't want to spoil anyone's fun, but I'll support or not support whichever country I like thank you. [img]tongue.gif[/img] My choice.
