I personally dont care if England win or not, although I'd prefer they didnt because the British media is insufferable, much like the Toronto media, all you need is England to beat Brazil or Germany and it doesnt even matter how they do the rest of the tournament.

I dislike the English media a whole bunch and then some so I completely understand where some of you are coming from here. The media has thrown Liverpool under a bus so many times, we're talking decades here, that I personally cannot stand them. I remember my dad, god rest his soul, actually breaking our TV after Jimmy Hill spouted off about King Kenny and Ian Rush one time and that was back when the Reds were actually really good.
So yeah, I get it. Just remember though, Lockie, Stevie G is the English captain now. Johnson will be a starter, and Carre will likely get on the field at some point. That's got to be worth something to you.
It's the same as me pulling for Spain too with Torres, Pepe, Alonso, and the like. I want them to do exceptionally well even though traditionally I would never pull for the Spaniards.
