I've lived in England for 40 years and everyone I know here seems to wish Wales in sporting occasions and I would feel churlish wanting them to lose. I can enjoy seeing my English friends when their teams have any success and even hosted them in my beach bar when their football team played in their games in the football World Cup. Similarly, when I lived in Germany I enjoyed being with my German friends when their football team progressed in various competitions.
