I live in London and have never witnessed the "anyone but Scotland" view
Any of the Home countries doing well against "johnny foreigner" should be welcomed... surely
I did make an exception for Ukraine... but so did most of the world

I would say it's very common up here. Mostly a bit of friendly(?) banter, though inevitably a number on the loony fringe treat it as close to real hatred.

Amongst the people I know I have not witnessed anyone who has an anybody but England attitude except in a jokey fashion. I'm Welsh and always support England, as do my friends and acquaintances, when they play any team except Wales. Of course in footballing terms we've rarely had the opportunity to support Wales as they rarely qualify for anything except in the years since 2016 when they won their group in the Euros which included England.

As a Londoner I'm glad they (Wales) made it through (not at the expense of Ukraine) but it's about time Wales were in the World cup
