I don't know if you know, but not all Catalans want to be independent, therefore, some may well feel Spanish as well.<br /><br />I, being one of those who are not bothered, can assure you that I would not go out waving the Spanish flag - but I would recognise if someone does a good job, whether they're in the Spanish team or not. <br /><br />This is quite an old post, so hopefully by now you're a bit more informed.

Let's hope the next world cup is along those lines...?!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055914353803952221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5727280227278154850.post-42897724451063556102008-11-07T19:21:00.000+01:002008-11-07T19:21:00.000+01:00Why should you be surprised?

As an Englishman, surely you're aware that Scotland and Wales have their own teams.<BR/><BR/>Not unlike Catalonia's situation, Scotland and Wales are not "British"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
