Best Wishes to England in the World Cup Semi-final

That the Parliament wishes England the very best of luck in the team's World Cup semi-final against Argentina on 15 July 2026; notes, with some regret, that Scotland will not be the side carrying the hopes of the nation at this stage of the tournament; considers that, as constituent nations of the UK, it is right that everyone supports all the home nations when they represent the country on the world stage; hopes that England rises to the occasion, avoids the "usual" late drama and gives supporters a night to remember; believes that, while many MSPs rarely find themselves in agreement with the Prime Minister, his call for Scotland to get behind England on this occasion is one where common ground can be found; understands with regret that, despite the Prime Minister’s encouragement, none of Scotland’s Labour MSPs appear to have publicly followed his lead, and looks forward to the next encounter between Scotland and England, when it hopes Scotland can emerge victorious.
