Out of greenies but yes, absolutely this. Oddly, that thug Fenwick hacking and kicking at him for 90 minutes (well, whenever he managed to get within range) doesn't seem to count as cheating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For it simply to be an anomaly which is no longer conceived of being repeated. They've won it twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. More annoyingly we did qualify for the 1950 World Cup but withdrew because we only came 2nd in the Home Nations qualifying tournament. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 My sincere take is that it was England's worst tournament under Southgate. Good for about 20-30 minutes against Serbia, 45 v Netherlands and OK first halves against Spain and Switzerland. They've been second-best for the rest of it (though I admittedly didn't watch the Slovenia game). I thought that the FA made the right decision in keeping Southgate on after the World Cup (and yes, they were right in our eyes etc etc), as that quarter-final against France was the first time they actually played well against a good side in a tournament and guys like Saka and Bellingham were becoming mainstays. However, in hindsight that should've been the end, and this tournament will go down as a massive missed opportunity with some of the very best talents in the world being reduced to not even a full game's worth of good football. In contrast, it's hard to not love this Spain team - despite how Euro 2024 started. Two wonderful wingers, probably the best player in the world, a daft old b*****d at the back and Olmo and Ruiz who'll be placed in a future Football Cliches Pure Euros XI. Also a manager who was plucked from the youth teams to facilitating the best football we've seen at a tournament in a while - especially from a winning team. Despite how shite the tournament's been, I'm sure we'll remember this side, and there's still nothing quite like international football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MazzyStar Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 (edited) That’s as good as it’s going to get for England. I can see them entering their banter years. Players refusing to play for the team, fan revolts and Wayne Rooney managing them at some point. Edited July 14 by MazzyStar 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
