They're Only UK Team In World Cup But Twitter is Alive With ‘Anyone But England'

The World Cup has kicked off in Russia, with the hosts playing Saudi Arabia. England's first game is on Monday against Tunisia but already there is a social media campaign to support anyone but the English.

It seems that many Scots, Welsh and Irish fans have a deep loathing for England but there are also some English fans who do not want the national team to do well, for a variety of reasons.

The hashtag #Anyonebutengland is trending on Thursday, June 14.

I had little if no reason to cheer on the mighty Engerlish in Russia.
The events ofvl the last few days mean their is no chance.#AnybodyButEngland
Not being racist but the government in Westminster is predominantly English and they won't give me my country back. I dare say Wales
