He sounds like a dope but being honest I find the football team much easier to like than the rugby team. I wouldn't support england but I wouldn't be disappointed if they win the world cup.

Other guy: I’ll be supporting England in the world cup.
Me: Why? You’re a rugby fan.
Other guy: Yes, but we’re all British, and even though I’m a rugby fan, I like football and support Chelsea, so it’s England for me.
Me: Do you support England in the rugby world cup?
Other guy: No fcukin’ way. I’d never support them in rugby.
Me: But you said we’re all British.
Other guy: Yes, but rugby’s different.
Me: Why?
Other guy: Well no one in Wales should support England at rugby, we never do.
Me: So during this world cup, when England play Belgium, you’ll be supporting England?
Other guy: Yes.
Me: But you support England because you’re a Chelsea fan?
Other guy: Yes.
Me: But Belgium have more Chelsea players than England.

Let people support who they want, there's nothing wrong with wanting England to do well if your Welsh, or in wanting them to lose. Or indeed wanting them to do well AND then taking the piss when they lose to Sweden.
Also what applies in one sport doesn't necessarily apply in another.
I want England to do well as I believe the English wanted us to do well in football as long as we are not playing each other. Not a scientific statement but my opinion is based on the fact that when Wales were playing in the euro semis I was on a cruise and the bar was full of probably 95% England supporters and they were all cheering for Wales.
My English mates were all fully behind Wales in Euro 2016 and wanted Wales to do well until that video was leaked showing the Welsh team celebrating England's defeat to Iceland, then they got a bit of the hump and now keep reminding me of how we failed to qualify again for the World Cup
Today has been the turning point for me. I work in England but for a multi-national company, we have 20+ different (global) nationalities, so it's been banter up to this point and the usual piss taking.
However, the comments, confidence, arrogence and mood has discernably changed in the last couple of days, to the point where the English need knocking off their perch.
My future daughter in law is Swedish, so come on the turnips.
They're back to their old ways, come on Sweden!
Its a done deal. Sweden are rubbish. Russia and Croatia are nothing special. We're in the final. Its anyone's game. England for the world cup.
