Are Ukip supporting the French?

Who can forget this piece of forensic Samizdata analysis?:

Basically, it would suit the Conservatives if the England rugby team were to triumph, while many Labour supporters would probably prefer England to make a humiliatingly early exit.


So the question is about tonight's England v France game in the Euro 2004 soccer championships, given an England victory would mean the first 20 pages of the tabloids dominated by sport - do Tory supporters want England to lose, and Labour supporters want England to win?
Or do they both want them to win?

Or -- oh the irony - do Ukip supporters want England to lose!
