England have not knocked a big team out of the the world cup since 1966 when we won it. it as become a aqulies heel and the stats are very depressing
1970. beaten by west Germany
1982. drew with west Germany and Spain in 3 team 2nd round group
1986 beaten by Argentina
1990 beaten by west Germany
1998 beaten by Argentina
2002 beaten by Brazil
2006 beaten by Portugal
2010 ?
it’s the same in the European championships as well.
I really hope we buck this trend but i’m not holding my breath as every time we come up against a fancied team we get beat
well you might be right there but i hope your not?.if you download that world cup thing i posted on non football the Argentina and Germany split bet looks pretty good. :?:
Anyone know out about drinking holes in Burscough?.
Our gang for some reason have decided to jump on a train to Burscough next Saturday to watch the game. Apparently 2 or 3 good pubs within 100 yards of station.
