Scotland fans have showered England with compliments ahead of tonight's World Cup semi-final against Argentina, despite the historic rivalry between the two nations. In a TikTok video posted by user Wheddsta, an English content creator approached Scottish fans dressed in kilts and national football strips, asking them for 'one nice thing to say about England.'
Mixed Reactions from Scottish Fans
Some replies were generous, while others were more reluctant. One fan said: 'They've got good players.' Another brutally responded: 'One nice thing about England? Leaving.' A third echoed: 'Yeah the road out.' A group added: 'English people are leaving,' while a friend chimed in: 'Yorkshire puddings.'
Other answers included Alton Towers, Buckingham Palace, good music, great pubs in the north, and that former Argentine footballer Julian Speroni previously lived in England. The video concluded with a final Scot saying: 'No comment.'
Social Media Reactions
Scottish fans took to the comments to agree. One wrote: 'Yorkshire Puddings would be my answer too.' A second said: 'Alton Towers is good though.' A third joked: 'They've got sound neighbours,' while a fourth penned: 'Giving us entertainment when they lose.' Yet another added: 'England have the best neighbours.'
English fans hit back in the comments. One retorted: 'Bitter banter.' Another fumed: 'If you hate England that much why do you keep coming down.'
England's World Cup Semi-Final
England will face Argentina tonight in the World Cup semi-final. If they win, it will be the first time they have progressed to the final since their 1966 win against West Germany. The game will be broadcast live in the UK at 8pm this evening. Tonight's match is the last game before the World Cup final on Sunday, July 19. Spain are through to the final after their 2-0 win against France last night and will face either Argentina or England depending on the outcome of tonight's game.
