What? Imagine a Scandinavian or a Briton chanting their countries names in any other place than a sporting event (with an opposing country). It just doesn't happen.

The only other country I can think of is the Australians. They would chant the "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi! oi! oi!" even at a pub having a beer in the afternoon.

As a Brit I'd have to agree, don't think anyone has ever chanted "Britain, Britain".

Other than football I can't think of any other time I've ever heard anyone chant "England, England" or whatever.

Might be slightly more likely in Scotland as they are a bit more nationalistic.
