Anyone else finding their loyalty being split between England and Scotland due to the McGinn factor?

[cdbearsfan]

I'm not struggling that much with it.

I hope Scotland lose every game 10-2 with SJM scoring all their goals.

I don’t care much. I want the individual players to do well however. Same for the Belgian lads, Emi or anyone else who plays for us.

More that I hope the Villa players for England do well, but not worried about England.

Obviously hope McGinn leads Scotland to World Cup glory (2nd Round will do).

I think, because the tournament is so bloated, progress for Scotland might have to be the last 16.

Knowing Infantino, at the next World Cup it'll be the last 128.

SJM and Scotland being in the World Cup hasn't in any way affected my thoughts on how I want England to get on.

[Meanwood Villa]

I want our players to do well but wouldn't the best thing for the club be group stage exits all round?

I'd prefer a 64 team world cup to best 3rd places getting through
