This is *extremely amusing* coming from the English media, whose jingoism in sport matters is a reliable cause for complaint from the other countries that share their island. Things have not changed that much from the days when the Scottish and Welsh had to put up with their BBC Sport announcers referring to the English national side as "we". As an acquaintance of mine put it - "When Scotland finally chooses independence, it won't be the politics that does it - it'll be the football."
