Why the small team mentality statement? Very provocative.
In your own words plenty were supporting which means others weren't so the mentality, whatever it is, is relevant.
I work in England and although plenty, as you said, were supporting us, that support was very much reduced when we beat Belgium.
I had colleagues saying well done, well done and then openly supporting Ronaldo as it would be awful for England if we won the tournament.
More the jocks really but a certain amount of our fans too.
Some of the posts on this board about England if on the other foot we would highlight as ridiculous. Hypocrisy really.

Oh and of course the constant accepted racism is also a bind.
Witnessed many Welsh fans giving English fans terrible beatings at both Ninian Park and the old Wembley, you can’t blame a whole nation, also vile racism from welsh fans towards the English, you see it goes both ways.

Not suggesting the Welsh fans are all sweetness and light. I was responding to your small team mentality statement when the English, in large numbers, also did not want us to win.
What was their mentality then?

Can I ask where you work with loads of English people?
I'm in Bristol and just wondering if it was more a Cardiff/Bristol City thing more than a Wales /England thing.
They are not too happy with me at the moment and they dampen the pain by giving it large with England.
I even told them they would beat Sweden and they just saw it as me trying give them bad luck. I can't win.

I’m in the RAF mate and Work with loads of English people. They were very supportive of Wales in the Euros apart from when we played them obviously.
To be fair I broke my wrist in Bordeaux and spent the next month off my tits on tramadol so I may be looking back incorrectly. Ha.

Croatia will be interesting as they play a similar style.

Nah mate, I would expect nothing less from the armed forces. You have each other's back and support each other.
I'll put my experience down to those horrible Robins.
