fOWLmouth Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 BBC correspondent Dan Roan just mentioned ending 58 years of hurt if England win the European Championship.I’ve never agreed with this since it all began in 1996 with the lyrics in that song which stated 30 years of hurt.Seeing we won the 1966 World Cup and were still world champions until 1970,surely the hurt started when we lost the semi final to West Germany that year in Mexico. Does anyone agree or,judging by the blank looks I receive when I ask someone face to face,do you think I have a problem and should seek out a therapist.

mkowl Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 We did lose to Scotland in 1967 and some chaps called Jack Charlton and Jim Macalliog scored for the respective teams, the Scots then proclaiming to be now world champions. But in reality the hurt did not start until 1970, but then as England did not even qualify for the 74 and 78 tournaments, our football was as bleak as the nation itself.

The current 'lineal' world champions are the Ivory Coast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
