I wouldn't have much of an interest either, just find it an interesting debate/reaction which I think shows a persecution complex and massive chip on the shoulder that some Scots have.
If the majority of the players were English because they were the best players available then so be it (clearly from a footballing perspective that's up for debate). It's not like the 100 metres relay team has to have 1 representative from each country so why would the football team be any different? You didn't hear English people bleating that the gold medal winning women's curling team was predominantly (or entirely?) Scottish......I did hear some Scots bleating that "it was a bloody Scottish team that won those medals, nae a British team" though.
