Isn't it odd that where and how you are brought up can decide what you like in life? For example, Roger and Tarks enjoy playing and watching football, but had they not been born in Scotland, they might have grown up to realise what an utter waste of time it all is, and watched Tennis instead.

Tennis is certainly better for the spectators neck muscles.

Oh, puhleeeeeze! Do I really have to point out where the greatest British tennis player of all time comes from? He's also a big fan of football, and plays well enough to have had the choice between a football or tennis career. He decided on tennis...even though he's Scottish! 
I apologise, in advance.

Yes, but if Andy Murray had not been born in Scotland, he'd have just concentrated on his tennis and not needed to join the rest of the Scotland team watching the World Cup 2018.

I can’t wait to watch it. I’m wondering if England can improve on recent big tournaments and actually get mathematically knocked out after just one match this time.
I apologise, in advance.

The sooner England get knocked out, the sooner people can stop going on about it.

From past experience, that's when the endless talking actually begins.  ;D
