Just thought it was a bit harsh is all. I've been to an "Irish Pub" in Sachsenhausen, Germany so I know where you're coming from. I don't think I saw a single person of Irish heritage...unless they were in the US Army. But that's a bit different than an Irish Pub in NYC.

Of course it is natural for the non committed to support the underdog, but as an Englishman, my shoulders are broad enough to bear the strain.
And I'd imagine it'll hurt even worse if the French beat England at Twickenham in the next 6 Nations match.
At least you have the prospect of redemption rooting for England. There is no hope if your team is the USA Eagles. A couple of weeks ago I was watching the rugby sevens tournament that was in San Diego(I was shocked to even see rugby on TV over here). When the USA beat Kenya, the announcers said it was their first pool win in over 3 years.
ps. I've heard the sinking island joke. 
I think I'll pull out my Boondock Saints DVD tonight in honor of this thread.
