our team is much better now, the golden generation seemed to be a lot of good individuals who couldnt play together
and the manager was dog shit

2002 - they should be pressing when they’re losing and the opposition is down to 10 men, shouldn’t they? Like I said, have they ever beat Brazil in a World Cup?
86 - why wouldn’t it happen? The fact remains it did happen and England only started playing when they were 2 goals down (common theme here?)
2006 - I’ll have to find time to rewatch it, but I can’t remember England being robbed.
2006 - England v Portugal . I was gonna try to find the game to see if what @erics44 said was right about Portugal hardly having a shot. 15 shots on target, 11 off target! Fucking hell man.
Was this the tournament Lampard had 32 shots and never scored a goal?

Argentina and Portugal we suffered two very dodgy sendings off.
To be honest we played really well after going down to ten men but the penalty gods were against us.
Rooney should have gone against Portugal
Beckams should have been yellow or simeone should have had exactly the same treatment
the same ref reffed united in a champions league game the following year (or the year after maybe) and he was utter shit, spoilt that game too
I might have the wrong game here (I never rewatch a match when we've gone out) but when was the one where Ronaldo played apart in getting him sent off and winked at his bench ?
I remember Shearer fuming afterwards saying if it was him then when back in training at Man U "I'd stitch one on him"
Just watched it - tough call whether Ronaldo's intervention and then shove made the wavering ref decide on red.
But the wink ?? twat
Lets start with Neville Southall in goal. At his best an incredible shot stopper. Now, you could probably shoe horn him between the sticks and air wouldn't get past him.
It was a stamp yes but I think it'd been missed as lots was back then. Pre VAR
From 1982 - 2008, I thought England could win but that all stopped after 2010. We got lucky to get to the semi finals last time. Think France or Belgium will win this year.
