#1 Who should Scots support in the World Cup?

Just in case you missed it Scotland didn't quite make it to the World Cup finals (although we did bag the Kirin Cup). So we have a dilemma: Do we follow the First Minister, by supporting anyone other than England, and publically risk looking rather mean-spirited and small minded? [Our national ambition should probably extend to something more elevated than always hoping that England fall's flat on its face.]
The decent adult thing is obviously to root for the Auld Enemy, regardless of the fact that their victory would mean another 40 years of continuous replays of whoever is the new Geoff Hurst - "They think it's all over! " Hardly :!:
Plus you just know that regardless of how generously we offer our support a sizeable percent of the Ennggeerr-lluunndd!! contingent will receive it less than graciously.
So whats it to be?

I will be supporting Italy as I am half Italian, quarter Scottish & quarter English.

So by mathematical deduction I must support my majority blood holder!!... :lol:

Seriously, though I just hope that the games are fair and that the diving etc. is not in evidence.

I have to say I rather fancy Brazil to make it two world cups for keeps.

They currently own the first cup for winning it three time.... Once more and they will own this one as well. (and there made from solid gold... damn)

So england are though to the next round. If they play like this much more it won't matter if they get Germany or Ecuador (Group B winners or runners up) they will still get hammered.

Have to say after Ecuador performance in there first 2 games I really hoping they go far. I always like when an African team does well.
