Did shouting for England make us any more mature?

Now that the dust is settling on England’s defeat to Croatia, there is a completely unimportant question to be asked: Did supporting the English soccer team make a man or a woman more mature than a man or woman who felt sick to their stomach at the prospect of England winning the World Cup?

More that that, did it mark out the English-supporting Irish person as a more rounded, more neighbourly, more decent human being, somehow morally superior to their fellow islanders?

Perhaps a guide might be found in the reaction of people in other countries.
