Cameroon and West Germany for me; the rest was dire. England only have fond memories because they didn't get papped out in the Second Round/Quarters like normal; they were all despairing of how chronic their national team was after the group stage. It was amusing to see how Bobby Robson's tenure ended up being considered some kind of golden period, considering how nobody had a good word for him while he was England manager.

Back on topic, fucking Milik :lol:

Didn't the englush players revolt after they were so pish and insist on going 3 at the back then they started scraping through games?

Belgium absolutely thumped England and lost 0-1 to the last minute goal.  England were also very,very lucky to beat Cameroon.

I can still remember the round the room celebrations in our house when Cameroon went 2-1 up that night.

Mental how often you see world class footballers scuffing or slicing the ball

 

In comparison to the haddies we watch every week, it's almost like they're not as good as their exponential wages would imply   :o

Aye, that was the tournament where sweepers became all the rage. The rumour was that, after the group stage, the squad banded together and told Robson they were playing with a sweeper, and he could lump it.

All true. England consider themselves a bit unlucky at tournaments due to the number of penalty shoot-outs they lose, but they seem to forget that they're often fortunate to have made it that far in the first place. It was amazing they made it past Spain in '96, for example.
