We've picked good numbers, happily

But to me the football support feeling is pretty similar to the national pride thing. When England looks good, it gives me a vicarious sense of pride, as if I were somehow implicated in the success. Whereas something like the Iraq war makes me feel ashamed. The feelings aren't that strong, probably cos I'm not very Nationalist... but they're there. Do you not experience that at all Mike?
