I am now firmly in the Anyone But England camp, simply because national sports teams are so closely identified with the isolationist, nativist political far-right.

The reaction last time after Rashford, Sancho and Saka missed their penalties, while Kane and Maguire scored, was quite disgusting.

Any sporting success for England is liable to fuel the absurd belief that the UK remains a global power. I'll happily cheer on Wales or Scotland in sport - and do have some ancestral blood from both nations - but never again England, until its teams and their supporters are cleansed of their taint.
