All these years of hurt, you'd have thought that they might have tried Canesten at least once.

Donald Trump faced more shots than Unai Simon.

Croatia ended the tournament with a higher overall xG than England did, despite being knocked out in the group stage.

Thank f**k. I've resigned myself to England winning something at some point but delighted that that day is delayed. Wasn't particularly concerned throughout the game. Spanish sides record in finals v non spanish sides this century is truly ridicolous

Went to pick the wee man up at his pals and caught Durham on the radio moaning about, yet again having a massive smug look on his face was glorious.

In my lifetime, I really want England 1966 to become a historical curio, like the Soviet Union winning a European Championship, or Uruguay winning a World Cup. For it simply to be an anomaly which is no longer conceived of being repeated

If we'd bothered to fucking enter it, it would not have been the most unlikely thing in the world that Scotland would have got to a World Cup final in 1930 or 1934, given we'd won 5-1 at Wembley only a few years earlier. We could have fluked a win in one of those finals, and been up there with the even smaller Uruguay. If England don't win in 2026, !966 is going to become no more significant to the people of the future than any pre-WW2 wins are. As it is, 1966 is on a par, or arguably slightly below, Celtic's EC win in 1967. It was very, very nice at the time, but we don't see it happening again for a while.
