Northwind is from Texas, and so hasn't had to put up with the whole horror that is England doing well in the World Cup.
For the past few weeks we Scots have been subjected to an ever-increasing barrage of media hype in all formats. Entire newspapers and news programmes consisting of past players and managers inferring that England are destined (because it's their game!) to win.
England have a magnificent young side and I have no doubt that they will go on to win major events again, but I can't help feeling more relief than sadness that they have been knocked out.
As a Brit I'd love to be able to support them but Engerlund must face up to the fact that their media have again ensured that the world is rooting against them.
Oh, and football's going home (to Brazil)
