That's not strictly true. I once saw them play really well and stuff England 3-2. Jim Baxter was fkn ace that day. Only that day, though. It was just before I got married in 1967. That's another thing that's only happened once. That's why I remember it.
just thought with all these super players you could win more knockout matches seems only ecuador and denmark are your matches though geez no need to get defensive
No, you're right, I did exaggerate a tad. Archie Gemmill scored a belting goal against the Dutch once.
He was replaced at NF by Asa Hartford ... and I quote David Coleman: "My, what a thoroughly (w)hole-hearted player he (Hartford) is." You youngsters (except Brady, of course) will probably need to Google this. Maybe one of the best-ever live statements on TV sport, alongside Ron Pickering on Bob Beamon: "My goodness me, just look at that ... he's pulled out an enormous one!"; and, of course, "The bowler's Holding, ...". Gawd, clichés were so much better, back in the day, when men were men ...
Amateur teams like San Marino, Scotland and Gibraltar really shouldn't be allowed to compete in major competitions, it just devalues them.
We do have a shameful record in international tournaments it's true. That still doesn't seem to stop people getting over excited when we draw with a poor Russia and squeak pasta one-man Wales team! We've got decent players this time around but can't see us beating anyone of real class like Spain, Italy, France or Germany. Quarters again I reckon. Standard.
It's a forum you drunken buffoon. You want to discuss how many knock out games England have won in the past 20 years and I want to discuss how many Scotland have won. Either way it'll be a short conversation, especially on your part.
Especially given the fact they usually fail to qualify! Someone needs to stay away from talking internationals!
Might as well put this here, since it was 20 years ago today... Do you remember this Brady? You lot were going through at 4-0, and when we conceded you lot went out
they were early in the tournament. I can see Vardy starting, as well as Sturridge... Rashford should start too.
I couldn't believe Lineker's stat after the Wales game. "That's the first time England have EVER gone on to win after going a goal behind in tournament football"
A Scotchman walks into a bar. Normally there'd also be an Englishman, Welshman and Irishman but they're all away at the Euros.
