What's your second language/mother tongue? I'm going to say with confidence, that the scandals aren't exclusive to the English, it's just that language from the league that most of us understand.

Just as an example, today Sky Sport NZ posted the England starting XI on facebook, asking what fans thought of their chances. No mention of the Uruguayan squad. It's stuff like that which I've been seeing for years that irritates me.

Shouldn't be surprising, as New Zealand (Commonwealth), has a significantly stronger connection to the UK, than they do Uruguay.
