England are definitely not the team "we" remember from 1966. Only 1 of that team is even alive

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the clarification.

You made the bizarre comparison

Also - given its 60 years ago, the "we" who would remember the 1966 team are probably a lot less than 20% of the current population of England.

"We" are never allowed to forget.

I wasn’t born. My Dad, who is 79, was still a teenager!
Wow. That’s ages ago. Time we all moved on.

Nagelsmann has resigned, on account of the large hand imprint in between his shoulder blades.

Here comes the whitest smile in football...

Many years ago, I had a German work colleague. Inevitably, there was some “banter”. His retort was almost always, “well, you may have won two world wars, but, remind me, how many world cups have you won”

How many of the forum were born before 1966.

 

[AndyRM]

Der Manschafft - pish for a decade.

England - pish for over half a century.

To remember it you would realistically have to be born in 1960.

It's all relative. When I start thinking that England are crap, I only have to compare them to Scotland,Wales or Northern Ireland and that cheers me up.

If you're cheered up comparing nations of plucky underdogs to perennial underachievers then good for you I suppose.

 

[First Aspect]

It is only socially acceptable for the Scots to gloat when England do badly Stevo. If you do it the other way around it just fuels the independence cause.

I just think of in terms of who is more crap.

Why do you think I'm doing it?
