Jingoism in England is no different than the jingoism that affects most major countries at such times. 1996 awoke a nation that was actually pretty apathetic in comparison to the rest of the world when it came to supporting their team in major tournaments.
Actually, it isn't. My beef with Ingerlund and it's jingoistic fans pre dates me being aware of the culture at United.
