A national survey has revealed that up to 2.5 million Brits are cheering on the Italians in the European 2008 Championships because of the glaring absence of a team from the Home Nations in the competition.
That means that 30 per cent of English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish fans have had to pack away their national flags and replica shirts in favour of donning the colours of an alternative or an adopted team for the summer.
Personally I am 100 per cent sure those statistics are wrong. Certainly the true supporters of the beautiful game will tell you that football fans, like the proverbial leopard, never change their spots.
I mean if you asked any Scotsman who he was supporting at the last World Cup you can guarantee he would say: "Whoever England are playing." Fans just don't switch allegiance to another team or nation either if they share borders - fact.
